EE4000 - Signal Processing 3

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 using these 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.
