Course Aims
The aims of this course are to:
■ introduce the basic concepts and techniques of digital signal processing (DSP);
■ demonstrate some interesting and useful practical applications of DSP;
■ provide practical experience in using DSP software in analysis and design of DSP systems and algorithms.
■ design, implement, critically evaluate and benchmark an interdisciplinary DSP task
Intended Learning Outcomes of Course
By the end of this course students will be able to:
■ use the Fourier transform to filter signals from different application domain and critically evaluate them in the context of the application
■ design FIR filters from a desired frequency response and evaluate their performance in the light of the intended application
■ design IIR filters for low latency applications and evaluate them in terms of stability and latency introduced in the specific application.
■ design matched filters for medical and communication situations and being able to benchmark the filters for their given application
■ optimise filters for best performance;
■ use Python as a filter design tool and knowing about its limitations and risks
■ write object oriented DSP filter code in Python which can be used in production
■ acquire interdisciplinary knowledge to provide a solution to a DSP problem and able to critically evaluate it
Minimum Requirement for Award of Credits
Students must attend the degree examination and submit at least 75% by weight of the other components of the course's summative assessment.
Students must attend the timetabled laboratory classes.
