 The performance of the laser tag system can be improved by reducing the noise that ultimately ends up across the band of frequencies we care about (~1 - 5 kHz). We are not going to be investigating all of the noise sources in our system, but we are going to look into one of the easiest noise sources to reduce: the optical noise produced by the fluorescent lights in our lab room. The performance of the laser tag system can be improved by reducing the noise that ultimately ends up across the band of frequencies we care about (~1 - 5 kHz).

It contains two variables, t and y. (Use the MATLAB load command.)+We measured the signal produced by the fluorescent lights and saved it as a MATLAB file ({{:​light.zip|}}). This data is all noise.
