EEL 4750C - Introduction to Digital Signal Processing

 

Catalog Description: (3cr) Fundamentals of filter design and Fourier transforms. Hardware implementation of filters. Simulation of signal processing systems using MATLAB.

Prerequisites: Signals and Systems, Microprocessor Applications

Textbook: Digital Signal Processing with Applications with the C6713 and C6416 DSK, R. Chassaing, Wiley, 2004.

Course Objective: The course is designed to provide the student with an exposure to digital signal processing (DSP) theory and practice as required of an entry-level DSP engineer. Students will engage in activities involving the study of sampled signal and systems in the time and frequency domain, and design and analysis of digital filters and transforms. Hands-on studies, using DSP μps and software, are integrated into the course framework.

Professional Component: 3 credits of Engineering Design
