Description
This module introduces students to how analogue signals are converted to digital signals and how digital signals are converted to analogue signals. It then continues to explain how signals can be transformed from time to frequency domains. It concludes with the processes of correlation and convolution. Once these fundamentals have been mastered, students may then proceed to one of the most important operations in DSP i.e. digital filtering.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Understand the design fundamentals and determine the basic parameters of an analogue input/output interface.
2.
Be able to transform discrete data between the time and frequency domains.
3.
Represent, analyse and design discrete-time signals and systems using the z-transform.
4.
Compare two signals using the process of correlation.
5.
Use convolution to relate the input signal, the output signal and the impulse response for a given system
Teaching and Learning Strategies
A weekly lecture will introduce students to the theory of the module.
Weekly lab assignments will encourage students to apply the theory to practical applications.
Module Assessment Strategies
A mid-term written exam will take place.
Students will write a written report based on z-transform lab assignments.
Students will give a Powerpoint presentation based on correlation/convolution lab assignments.
Students will sit an end of term written exam.
Repeat Assessments
A repeat final written exam will take place in Autumn.

Modern coverage of the fundamentals, implementation and applications of digital signal processing techniques from a practical point of view. The past ten years has seen a significant growth in DSP applications throughout all areas of technology and this growth is expected well into the next millennium. This successful textbook covers most aspects of DSP found in undergraduate electrical, electronic or communications engineering courses. Unlike many other texts, it also covers a number of DSP techniques which are of particular relevance to industry such as adaptive filtering and multirate processing. The emphasis throughout the book is on the practical aspects of DSP.

Digital signal processing has progressed rapidly from a specialist research topic to one with practical applications in many disciplines, including branches of engineering and science which involve data acquisition, such as meterology, physics and information systems. This book aims to provide students with an introductory, one-term course in the subject, using a considerable number of computer programmes to illustrate the text. A number of worked examples have been included in order to illustrate and develop important ideas and design techniques. Problems designed to test and consolidate work already undertaken are supplied at the end of each chapter, and selected answers are given at the end of the book.
