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

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

Subject Assessment

• end of semester exam (50% - 70%)
• on-course assessment, some of which may be invigilated (30% - 50%).

Note: Minor variations might occur due to the continuous Subject quality improvement process, and in case of minor variation(s) in assessment details, the Subject Outline represents the latest official information.
