EE 3221 - Digital Signal Processing

3 lecture hours 2 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This course is an introduction to the digital processing of signals. It begins with the examination of sampling and reconstruction of continuous-time signals, which then motivates the study of fundamental DSP topics. Discrete time signal and system interaction is examined in both the time and frequency domains.  The course then examines DSP topics and techniques including the discrete Fourier transform, fast Fourier transform, FIR and IIR filtering, and design of digital filters using various techniques. Lecture topics are supported and extended by laboratory experiments that integrate DSP theory, MATLAB simulation, and implementation on actual real-time DSP hardware. (prereq: EE 3032 , EE 1910  or EE 3910B  or EE 2905  or CE 2812 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
  • Relate the spectrum of a continuous-time signal to the spectrum of the sampled signal computed using the DFT.
  • Compute the z-transform of a discrete-time signal using the z-transform summation and a table of common pairs and properties
  • Determine the transfer function, frequency response, and stability of a discrete time system
  • Determine the signal-to-noise ratio that results from digitizing an analog signal
  • Design an IIR digital filter by using pole-zero placement methods
