How to Average a Signal Using Simulink?

 Watch this detailed introduction to signal averaging using Simulink. Averaging is the one of the most commonly applied signal processing algorithms. There are many forms of averaging and each method has its own advantages. You’ll learn about running averages, sliding window or FIR-based averages, and exponential or IIR-based averages and when you would use one method versus another. Signal averaging serves one of two purposes, either to reduce noise or to better estimate it. 

You’ll learn how these averaging algorithms work at the detailed block diagram level as applied to streaming time series data. The focus is on signal processing applications but these same averaging techniques apply to other domains as well, e.g. financial or stock market data.
