Content

The subject contains two main topics: Signal conditioning and realization of DSP algorithms.

Signal conditioning:

  • Differential equations
  • Impulse response
  • Convolution
  • Frequency response (Fourier analysis)
  • Z transformation
  • Analysis and synthesis of digital filters (FIR, IIR)
  • Digital Spectral Analysis (DFT, FFT)
  • Analysis of time-continuous signals
  • Filter Construction (FIR, IIR)

Realization of DSP algorithms:

  • Characteristics of architecture and functionality for digital signal processors (DSP) 
  • Realization of signal processing algorithms using C Programming
  • Practical exercises that include the use of a standard development platform
