General Instructions

The lab handout, linked above, gives detailed instructions for this lab. This lab is much more qualitative than those you have done recently. In general, you don't have to measure anything, but rather the idea is to give you some experience with the FFT algorithm in real life. Your lab writeup needs to describe carefully the steps you took in this lab and give some descriptive explanations of what you observed and why.

Code Assignment

There is no explicit code assignment for this lab.
