Gain practical knowledge required for understanding, specifying, and designing DSP systems.
Digital signal processors have become indispensable in many engineering disciplines, including electronics, computer, communications, and biomedical engineering. They form the workhorse of media processing, allowing the streaming and storage of high-quality digital audio and video. This course will cover the spectral analysis of discrete-time signals and systems, sampling, IIR/FIR/resampling/adaptive digital filter design and implementation, polyphase filter banks, discrete Fourier and cosine transforms, FFT algorithms, subband coding, noise cancellation, and the latest DSP hardware and software, including the multi-threaded Qualcomm Hexagon DSP architecture, instruction processing, and software kernel. A practical understanding of the mathematical basis of signal processing is developed through design examples, applications, and Matlab demonstrations. The course is geared toward interested hardware and software engineers, and scientists who need to know the fundamental techniques used in the rapidly expanding field of digital signal processing.
