ELE 3320 - Digital Signal Processing

2 lecture hours 2 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course is an introduction to the field of digital signal processing. It begins by examining the theory that governs the sampling and reconstruction of continuous-time signals. Fundamental principles of discrete-time signals and systems, including analysis and representations in both time and frequency domains, are covered. The course then examines foundational DSP topics and techniques including the discrete Fourier transform, fast Fourier transform, FIR and IIR filtering, and design of digital filters. Lecture topics are reinforced and extended through laboratory experiments utilizing industry-standard software tools and real-time DSP hardware platforms.
Prereq: ELE 3300  and (CSC 1310  or CPE 2600  or ELE 1601  or ELE 2801 ) (quarter system prereq: EE 3032, EE 1910 or EE 3910B or CE 2812 or EE 2905 or BE 2200)
