In this topic, we will focus on the design details of a Digital, real-time Audio LED Spectrum analyzer. The aim focuses on building a device to display the distribution of an audio signal energy to 20 specific frequency bands, using DSP technology. We will use fast Fourier transform (FFT) in order to analyze any audio signal in real time. The obtained Fourier transform will result in a bank of 20 parallel frequency filters. The output of the filters will be displayed on a simple 20 x 20 LED display. The unit will be designed to support up to four different display-modes.

Indroduction
An LC oscillator is actually a feedback oscillator which uses capacitors and inductors in its feedback network. It can be built from a transistor, an operational amplifier, a tube, or some other active (amplifying) device. Oscillation is brought about by applying a portion of the amplifiers’ output signal to its input. That feedback signal must be applied in phase with the original input signal. The amplifier is usually an inverter that provides 180o of phase shift by itself, and an additional 180o of phase shift must be provided through some other means.

Many systems require an input in the form of a periodic, usually sinusoidal, waveform. The periodic signal is generated from a special circuit which is known as the “oscillator”. Oscillators convert direct current (DC) from a power supply to an alternating current signal. They are widely used in many electronic devices. Common examples of signals generated by oscillators include clock signals, sounds produced by electronic beepers and video games, and radio frequency signals used for broadcasting.

An electronics “breadboard” is actually referring to a solderless electronic board. It is a great unit for making temporary circuits and prototyping, and it requires absolutely no soldering.
