EE3010 - Digital Signal Processing

Software and Theory: The sampling and processing of signals in a digital environment, including effects of sampling, aliasing, time domain to frequency domain transforms, convolution and correlation of sequences, window and filter specification, specification and design of IIR and FIR filters. Hardware: Analogue to digital and digital to analogue converters, direct digital synthesis. Digital down conversion, decimation and interpolation. Digital signal processing engines.

Learning Outcomes

• specify and select components required for a DSP based radio receiver;
• write specification and use to design digital FIR and IIR filters;
• define the characteristics of sampled signals and mechanisms for sampling;
• explain the principles, application and interpretation of Convolution and Correlation (in terms of digital signal processing);
• describe the principles, application and interpretation of Discrete and Fast Fourier Transforms;
• explain the principles, application and interpretation of windowing techniques, the Z- transform and Bilinear Z-transform;
• explain the properties and limitations of DSP hardware.
