Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
ECE-40016
Gain practical knowledge required for understanding, specifying, and designing DSP systems.
DThe Digital Signal Processing (DSP) course provides essential knowledge for understanding, designing, and implementing digital signal processing systems, which are crucial tools in various engineering fields like electronics, communications, and biomedical engineering. Students will learn key DSP concepts such as sampling, filtering, and signal transformation. Topics covered include using filtering to enhance signal quality and applying transforms like the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) and fast Fourier transform (FFT) for signal analysis. In addition, students will be exposed to advanced and recent techniques such as machine learning and deep learning to process digital signals. By the end of the course, students will be equipped with the skills to apply DSP techniques in practical applications.
