EE 523 - Applications of Digital Signal Processing

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course builds upon the DSP lecture course. It is heavily laboratory- and applications-oriented, enabling students to implement powerful algorithms on actual DSP hardware utilizing the C programming language. Such algorithms as FIR and IIR digital filters, adaptive and multirate filters (interpolator), modulators and demodulators, correlators and discrete and fast Fourier transforms are programmed. The hardware is capable of processing audio signals in realtime, effectively demonstrating the power of the techniques. An individual project is required. (prereq: EE 4022  or equivalent, consent of instructor, senior standing and consent of program director or department chair)
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
  • Determine the appropriate system design for DSP applications
