-===== Milestone 2 =====
+====== Milestone 2 ======
 In this milestone, you will use MATLAB to design the signal processing algorithm used by the laser tag system.
 ===== Overview =====
-The objective of the signal processing algorithm is to collect a signal and then determine if the signal contains a shot from a laser tag gun.
+The objective of the signal processing algorithm is to determine from the received signal whether your system has been hit, and if so, what player (frequency) performed the hit.
+This figure shows (in the time domain) a signal that is just noise (i.e., no hit):

-Your signal processing algorithm will be able to analyze these two signals and determine that the second plot contains a hit and then determine the frequency of the shooter.
+Your signal processing algorithm will be able to analyze these two signals and determine that the second plot contains a hit, and then determine the frequency of the shooter.
+This milestone builds heavily on the work that you did in Lab #5 in 380. During this milestone, the signal processing algorithm will be implemented and tested entirely in MATLAB. In a future milestone, you will take the digital filtering steps designed in this lab and implement them on the ZYBO board. We test the design first in MATLAB because it is much easier to manipulate and display the involved signals in MATLAB.
 ===== Goals =====
+The basic operation of the system involves the following operations.

+  - Pass the signal through 10 bandpass filters with center frequencies of the 10 players
-   Pass the signal through 10 bandpass filters with center frequencies of the 10 players

 You will be designing the basic algorithms to accomplish this process.

 ===== Organization =====
 This milestone is divided into three tasks.
-  - [[Milestone 2 Task 1 | Task 1]]: Design 10 bandpass filters
+  - [[Milestone 2 Task 1 | Task 1]]: Design 10 bandpass filters. (These filters will operate on a signal sampled at 10 ksamples/s.)
-  - [[Milestone 2 Task 2 | Task 2]]: Analyze the aliasing of the noise and design an anti-aliasing filter
+  - [[Milestone 2 Task 2 | Task 2]]: Design decimating system and analyze noise aliasing. (The ZYBO board samples the signal at 100 ksamples/second, and we've designed our filter bank to operate on signals sampled at 10 ksamples/s. Thus, we need to down-sample the signal, but want to minimize the aliasing of higher frequency noise into the player frequency bands.)
-  - [[Milestone 2 Task 3 | Task 3]]: Analyze full system with noise
+  - [[Milestone 2 Task 3 | Task 3]]: Analyze full system with noise.
