Course Objectives This course provides an introduction to the principles of real-time digital signal processing (DSP).The focus of this course is hands-on development of real-time signal processing algorithms using audio-based DSP kits in a laboratory environment
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Describe the architecture and basic operation of fixed-point and foating-point DSPs
  • Perform worst-case timing analysis on real-time DSP systems
  • Develop and realize computationally effcient algorithms on the DSP platform (e.g. FFT, fast convolution)
  • Optimize DSP code (e.g. software pipelining)
  • Draw block diagrams of FIR and IIR filters under various realization structures and describe the advantages and disadvantages of each realization structure
  • Realize real-time FIR and IIR filter designs on the DSP platform, compare experimental results to theoretical expectations, and identify the source of performance discrepancies
Course Content Architecture, instruction set, and hardware and software development tools associated with the Texas Instruments TMS320C6x family of fixed and floating processors. Signal processing applications such as waveform generation, FIR and IIR digital filtering, and DFT and FFT based spectral analysis and filtering. Requires an extensive DSP project of the
