TOPIC 1. SIGNALS AND SYSTEM

INTRODUCTION
A SIGNAL is defined as any physical quantity that changes with time, distance, speed,
position, pressure, temperature or some other quantity. A SIGNAL is physical quantity
that consists of many sinusoidal of different amplitudes and frequencies.
Ex x(t) = 10t
X(t) = 5x2+20xy+30y
A System is a physical device that performs an operations or processing on a signal. Ex
Filter or Amplifier.

CLASSIFICATION OF SIGNAL PROCESSING

1) ASP (Analog signal Processing) : If the input signal given to the system is analog then
system does analog signal processing. Ex Resistor, capacitor or Inductor, OP-AMP etc.

Analog ANALOG Analog

Input SYSTEM Output

2) DSP (Digital signal Processing) : If the input signal given to the system is digital then
system does digital signal processing. Ex Digital Computer, Digital Logic Circuits etc. The
devices called as ADC (analog to digital Converter) converts Analog signal into digital and
DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) does vice-versa.

Analog ADC DIGITAL DAC Analog

signal SYSTEM signal

Most of the signals generated are analog in nature. Hence these signals are converted to
digital form by the analog to digital converter. Thus AD Converter generates an array of
samples and gives it to the digital signal processor. This array of samples or sequence of
samples is the digital equivalent of input analog signal. The DSP performs signal
processing operations like filtering, multiplication, transformation or amplification etc
operations over this digital signals. The digital output signal from the DSP is given to the
DAC.

ADVANTAGES OF DSP OVER ASP

1. Physical size of analog systems are quite large while digital processors are more
compact and light in weight.
2. Analog systems are less accurate because of component tolerance ex R, L, C and
active components. Digital components are less sensitive to the environmental
changes, noise and disturbances.
3. Digital system are most flexible as software programs & control programs can be
easily modified.
4. Digital signal can be stores on digital hard disk, floppy disk or magnetic tapes.
Hence becomes transportable. Thus easy and lasting storage capacity.
5. Digital processing can be done offline.
6. Mathematical signal processing algorithm can be routinely implemented on digital
signal processing systems. Digital controllers are capable of performing complex
computation with constant accuracy at high speed.

7. Digital signal processing systems are upgradeable since that are software
controlled.
8. Possibility of sharing DSP processor between several tasks.
9. The cost of microprocessors, controllers and DSP processors are continuously going
down. For some complex control functions, it is not practically feasible to construct
analog controllers.
10. Single chip microprocessors, controllers and DSP processors are more
versatile and powerful.

Disadvantages Of DSP over ASP

1. Additional complexity (A/D & D/A Converters)
2. Limit in frequency. High speed AD converters are difficult to achieve in practice. In
high frequency applications DSP are not preferred.

1) Single channel and Multi-channel signals

If signal is generated from single sensor or source it is called as single channel signal. If
the signals are generated from multiple sensors or multiple sources or multiple signals are
generated from same source called as Multi-channel signal. Example ECG signals. Multi-
channel signal will be the vector sum of signals generated from multiple sources.

2) Single Dimensional (1-D) and Multi-Dimensional signals (M-D)

If signal is a function of one independent variable it is called as single dimensional signal
like speech signal and if signal is function of M independent variables called as Multi-
dimensional signals. Gray scale level of image or Intensity at particular pixel on black and
white TV are examples of M-D signals.

Note: Digital signals (DISCRETE TIME & DISCRETE AMPLITUDE) are obtained by
sampling the ANALOG signal at discrete instants of time, obtaining DISCRETE TIME
signals and then by quantizing its values to a set of discrete values & thus generating
DISCRETE AMPLITUDE signals.
Sampling process takes place on x axis at regular intervals & quantization process takes

The signal x(n) is said to be periodic if x(n+N)= x(n) for all n where N is the fundamental
period of the signal. If the signal does not satisfy above property called as Non-Periodic
signals.
Discrete time signal is periodic if its frequency can be expressed as a ratio of two integers.

finite and energy is infinite then x(n) is power signal. There are some signals which are
neither energy nor a power signal.

DISCRETE TIME SIGNALS AND SYSTEM

There are three ways to represent discrete time signals.
1) Functional Representation
4 for n=1,3
x(n)= -2 for n =2
0 elsewhere
2) Tabular method of representation
n -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5
x(n) 0 0 0 0 4 -2 4 0 0
3) Sequence Representation
X(n) = { 0 , 4 , -2 , 4 , 0 ,……}

n=0

STANDARD SIGNAL SEQUENCES

1) Unit sample signal (Unit impulse signal)

δ (n) = 1 n=0
0 n=0 i.e δ(n)={1}
2) Unit step signal

u(n) = 1 n≥0
0 n<0
3) Unit ramp signal

ur (n) = n n≥0
0 n<0
4) Exponential signal

5) Sinusoidal waveform
x(n) = A Sin wn

PROPERTIES OF DISCRETE TIME SIGNALS

1) Shifting : signal x(n) can be shifted in time. We can delay the sequence or advance
the sequence. This is done by replacing integer n by n-k where k is integer. If k is positive
signal is delayed in time by k samples (Arrow get shifted on left hand side) And if k is
negative signal is advanced in time k samples (Arrow get shifted on right hand side)
X(n) = { 1, -1 , 0 , 4 , -2 , 4 , 0 ,……}

n=0

Delayed by 2 samples : X(n-2)= { 1, -1 , 0 , 4 , -2 , 4 , 0 ,……}

n=0
Advanced by 2 samples : X(n+2) = { 1, -1 , 0 , 4 , -2 , 4 , 0 ,……}

n=0
2) Folding / Reflection : It is folding of signal about time origin n=0. In this case
replace n by –n.
Original signal:
X(n) = { 1, -1 , 0 , 4 , -2 , 4 , 0}

n=0
Folded signal:
X(-n) = { 0 , 4 , -2 , 4 , 0 , -1 , 1}

n=0
3) Addition : Given signals are x1(n) and x2(n), which produces output y(n) where y(n)
= x1(n)+ x2(n). Adder generates the output sequence which is the sum of input
sequences.

4) Scaling: Amplitude scaling can be done by multiplying signal with some constant.
Suppose original signal is x(n). Then output signal is A x(n)

5) Multiplication : The product of two signals is defined as y(n) = x1(n) * x2(n).

ANALYSIS OF DISCRETE LINEAR TIME INVARIANT (LTI/LSI) SYSTEM

1) CONVOLUTION SUM METHOD

2) DIFFERENCE EQUATION

LINEAR CONVOLUTION SUM METHOD

1. This method is powerful analysis tool for studying LSI Systems.
2. In this method we decompose input signal into sum of elementary signal. Now the
elementary input signals are taken into account and individually given to the system. Now
using linearity property whatever output response we get for decomposed input signal, we
simply add it & this will provide us total response of the system to any given input signal.
3. Convolution involves folding, shifting, multiplication and summation operations.
4. If there are M number of samples in x(n) and N number of samples in h(n) then the
maximum number of samples in y(n) is equals to M+n-1.
Linear Convolution states that
y(n) = x(n) * h(n)

n=1 y(1) = x(k) * h(1-k) ….
ANSWER : y(n) ={1, 4, 8, 8, 3, -2, -1 }

k= -∞
k= 0 to 3 (start index to end index of x(n))
y(n) = x(0) h(n) + x(1) h(n-1) + x(2) h(n-2) + x(3) h(n-3)

CAUSALITY OF LSI SYSTEM

The output of causal system depends upon the present and past inputs. The output of the
causal system at n= n0 depends only upon inputs x(n) for n≤ n 0. The linear convolution is
given as
∞
y(n) = ∑ h(k) x(n–k)
k=-∞
At n= n0 ,the output y(n0) will be
∞
y(n0) = ∑ h(k) x(n0–k)
k=-∞
Rearranging the above terms...
∞ -∞
y(n0) = ∑ h(k) x(n0–k) + ∑ h(k) x(n0–k)
k=0 k=-1
The output of causal system at n= n0 depends upon the inputs for n< n0 Hence
h(-1)=h(-2)=h(-3)=0
Thus LSI system is causal if and only if
h(n) =0 for n<0
This is the necessary and sufficient condition for causality of the system.
Linear convolution of the causal LSI system is given by
n
y(n) = ∑ x (k) h(n – k )
k=0

STABILITY FOR LSI SYSTEM

A System is said to be stable if every bounded input produces a bounded output.
The input x(n) is said to bounded if there exists some finite number M x such that |x(n)| ≤
Mx < ∞. The output y(n) is said to bounded if there exists some finite number M y such
that |y(n)| ≤ My < ∞.
Linear convolution is given by
∞
y(n) = ∑ x (k) h(n – k )
k=- ∞
Taking the absolute value of both sides
∞
|y(n)| = ∑ h(k) x(n-k)
k=-∞
The absolute values of total sum is always less than or equal to sum of the absolute
values of individually terms. Hence

|y(n)| ≤ ∑ h(k) x(n–k)

∞
|y(n)| ≤ ∑ |h(k)| |x(n–k)|

The input x(n) is said to bounded if there exists some finite number M x such that |x(n)| ≤
Mx < ∞. Hence bounded input x(n) produces bounded output y(n) in the LSI system only
if ∞
∑ |h(k)| < ∞
k=-∞
With this condition satisfied, the system will be stable. The above equation states that the
LSI system is stable if its unit sample response is absolutely summable. This is necessary
and sufficient condition for the stability of LSI system.

CORRELATION:
It is frequently necessary to establish similarity between one set of data and
another. It means we would like to correlate two processes or data. Correlation is closely
related to convolution, because the correlation is essentially convolution of two data
sequences in which one of the sequences has been reversed.

Applications are in
1) Images processing for robotic vision or remote sensing by satellite in which data
from different image is compared
2) In radar and sonar systems for range and position finding in which transmitted
and reflected waveforms are compared.
3) Correlation is also used in detection and identifying of signals in noise.
4) Computation of average power in waveforms.
5) Identification of binary codeword in pulse code modulation system.

4 Linear convolution is commutative Not commutative.

TYPES OF CORRELATION
Under Correlation there are two classes.
1) CROSS CORRELATION: When the correlation of two different sequences x(n) and
y(n) is performed it is called as Cross correlation. Cross-correlation of x(n) and y(n)
is rxy(l) which can be mathematically expressed as
∞
rxy(l) = ∑ x (n) y(n – l )
n= -∞
OR
∞
rxy(l) = ∑ x (n + l) y(n)

2) AUTO CORRELATION: In Auto-correlation we correlate signal x(n) with itself,

which can be mathematically expressed as
∞
rxx(l) = ∑ x (n) x(n – l )
n= -∞
OR
∞
rxx(l) = ∑ x (n + l) x(n)

PROPERTIES OF CORRELATION
1) The cross-correlation is not commutative.
rxy(l) = ryx(-l)
2) The cross-correlation is equivalent to convolution of one sequence with folded version
of another sequence.
rxy(l) = x(l) * y(-l).
3) The autocorrelation sequence is an even function.
rxx(l) = rxx(-l)

SAMPLING THEOREM
It is the process of converting continuous time signal into a discrete time signal by taking
samples of the continuous time signal at discrete time instants.

X[n]= Xa(t) where t= nTs = n/Fs ….(1)

When sampling at a rate of fs samples/sec, if k is any positive or negative integer, we

cannot distinguish between the samples values of fa Hz and a sine wave of (fa+ kfs) Hz.
Thus (fa + kfs) wave is alias or image of fa wave.

Thus Sampling Theorem states that if the highest frequency in an analog signal is
Fmax and the signal is sampled at the rate fs > 2Fmax then x(t) can be exactly recovered
from its sample values. This sampling rate is called Nyquist rate of sampling. The imaging
or aliasing starts after Fs/2 hence folding frequency is fs/2. If the frequency is less than or
equal to 1/2 it will be represented properly.

Example:
Case 1: X1(t) = cos 2∏ (10) t Fs= 40 Hz i.e t= n/Fs
x1[n]= cos 2∏(n/4)= cos (∏/2)n

Case 2: X1(t) = cos 2∏ (50) t Fs= 40 Hz i.e t= n/Fs

x1[n]= cos 2∏(5n/4)= cos 2∏( 1+ ¼)n
= cos (∏/2)n

Thus the frequency 50 Hz, 90 Hz , 130 Hz … are alias of the frequency 10 Hz at the
sampling rate of 40 samples/sec

QUANTIZATION
The process of converting a discrete time continuous amplitude signal into a digital signal
by expressing each sample value as a finite number of digits is called quantization. The
error introduced in representing the continuous values signal by a finite set of discrete
value levels is called quantization error or quantization noise.

Example: x[n] = 5(0.9)n u(n) where 0 <n < ∞ & fs= 1 Hz

Quantization Step/Resolution : The difference between the two quantization levels is

called quantization step. It is given by Δ = X Max – xMin / L-1 where L indicates Number of
quantization levels.

CODING/ENCODING
Each quantization level is assigned a unique binary code. In the encoding operation, the
quantization sample value is converted to the binary equivalent of that quantization level.
If 16 quantization levels are present, 4 bits are required. Thus bits required in the coder is
the smallest integer greater than or equal to Log2 L. i.e b= Log2 L
Thus Sampling frequency is calculated as fs=Bit rate / b.

ANTI-ALIASING FILTER
When processing the analog signal using DSP system, it is sampled at some rate
depending upon the bandwidth. For example if speech signal is to be processed the
frequencies upon 3khz can be used. Hence the sampling rate of 6khz can be used. But the
speech signal also contains some frequency components more than 3khz. Hence a
sampling rate of 6khz will introduce aliasing. Hence signal should be band limited to avoid
aliasing.
The signal can be band limited by passing it through a filter (LPF) which blocks or
attenuates all the frequency components outside the specific bandwidth. Hence called as
Anti aliasing filter or pre-filter. (Block Diagram)

SAMPLE-AND-HOLD CIRCUIT:
The sampling of an analogue continuous-time signal is normally implemented using a
device called an analogue-to- digital converter (A/D). The continuous-time signal is first
passed through a device called a sample-and-hold (S/H) whose function is to measure the
input signal value at the clock instant and hold it fixed for a time interval long enough
for the A/D operation to complete. Analogue-to-digital conversion is potentially a slow
operation, and a variation of the input voltage during the conversion may disrupt the
operation of the converter. The S/H prevents such disruption by keeping the input voltage
constant during the conversion. This is schematically illustrated by Figure.

After a continuous-time signal has been through the A/D converter, the quantized output
may differ from the input value. The maximum possible output value after the quantization
process could be up to half the quantization level q above or q below the ideal output
value. This deviation from the ideal output value is called the quantization error. In order
to reduce this effect, we increases the number of bits.

TOPIC 2. ANALYSIS OF LST SYSTEM - Z TRANFORM

INTRODUCTION TO Z TRANSFORM
For analysis of continuous time LTI system Laplace transform is used. And for
analysis of discrete time LTI system z transform is used. Z transform is mathematical tool
used for conversion of time domain into frequency domain (z domain) and is a function of
the complex valued variable Z. The z transform of a discrete time signal x(n) denoted by
X(z) and given as
∞
X(z) = ∑ x (n) z –n z-Transform.……(1)
n=-∞
Z transform is an infinite power series because summation index varies from -∞ to ∞. But
it is useful for values of z for which sum is finite. The values of z for which f (z) is finite
and lie within the region called as “region of convergence (ROC).

ADVANTAGES OF Z TRANSFORM
1. The DFT can be determined by evaluating z transform.
2. Z transform is widely used for analysis and synthesis of digital filter.
3. Z transform is used for linear filtering. z transform is also used for finding Linear
convolution, cross-correlation and auto-correlations of sequences.
4. In z transform user can characterize LTI system (stable/unstable, causal/anti-
causal) and its response to various signals by placements of pole and zero plot.

ADVANTAGES OF ROC(REGION OF CONVERGENCE)

1. ROC is going to decide whether system is stable or unstable.
2. ROC decides the type of sequences causal or anti-causal.
3. ROC also decides finite or infinite duration sequences.

plot of imaginary part versus real part is called complex z-plane. The radius of circle is 1
called as unit circle. This complex z plane is used to show ROC, poles and zeros. Complex
variable z is also expressed in polar form as Z= rejω where r is radius of circle is given by
|z| and ω is the frequency of the sequence in radians and given by ∟z.

Then z

The Time shifting property states that if

Then x(n-k) X(z) z–k

Thus shifting the sequence circularly by ‘k’ samples is equivalent to multiplying its z
transform by z –k

3) Scaling in z domain
This property states that if
z

z
Then an x(n) x(z/a)
Thus scaling in z transform is equivalent to multiplying by an in time domain.

4) Time reversal Property

The Time reversal property states that if
z
x(n) X(z) And
z
Then x(-n) x(z-1)
It means that if the sequence is folded it is equivalent to replacing z by z-1 in z domain.

5) Differentiation in z domain

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FOURIER TRANSFORM AND Z TRANSFORM.

There is a close relationship between Z transform and Fourier transform. If we replace the
complex variable z by e –jω, then z transform is reduced to Fourier transform.
Z transform of sequence x(n) is given by
∞
X(z) = ∑ x (n) z –n (Definition of z-Transform)
n=-∞
Fourier transform of sequence x(n) is given by
∞
X(ω) = ∑ x (n) e –jωn (Definition of Fourier Transform)
n=-∞
Complex variable z is expressed in polar form as Z= rejω where r= |z| and ω is ∟z. Thus
we can be written as
∞
X(z) = ∑ [ x (n) r–n] e–jωn
n=-∞
∞
X(z) z=ejw = ∑ x (n) e–jωn
n=-∞

jw
X(z) z=e = x(ω) at |z| = unit circle.

Thus, X(z) can be interpreted as Fourier Transform of signal sequence (x(n) r–n). Here r–n
grows with n if r<1 and decays with n if r>1. X(z) converges for |r|= 1. hence Fourier
transform may be viewed as Z transform of the sequence evaluated on unit circle. Thus
The relationship between DFT and Z transform is given by

INVERSE Z TRANSFORM (IZT)

The signal can be converted from time domain into z domain with the help of z transform
(ZT). Similar way the signal can be converted from z domain to time domain with the help
of inverse z transform(IZT). The inverse z transform can be obtained by using two
different methods.
1) Partial fraction expansion Method (PFE) / Application of residue theorem
2) Power series expansion Method (PSE)

POLE –ZERO PLOT

1. X(z) is a rational function, that is a ratio of two polynomials in z-1 or z.
The roots of the denominator or the value of z for which X(z) becomes infinite,
defines locations of the poles. The roots of the numerator or the value of z for
which X(z) becomes zero, defines locations of the zeros.

2. ROC dos not contain any poles of X(z). This is because x(z) becomes infinite at
the locations of the poles. Only poles affect the causality and stability of the
system.

3. CASUALTY CRITERIA FOR LSI SYSTEM
LSI system is causal if and only if the ROC the system function is exterior to
the circle. i. e |z| > r. This is the condition for causality of the LSI system in terms
of z transform. (The condition for LSI system to be causal is h(n) = 0 ….. n<0 )

4. STABILITY CRITERIA FOR LSI SYSTEM

Bounded input x(n) produces bounded output y(n) in the LSI system only if
∞
∑ |h(n)| < ∞
n=-∞
With this condition satisfied, the system will be stable. The above equation states
that the LSI system is stable if its unit sample response is absolutely summable.
This is necessary and sufficient condition for the stability of LSI system.
∞
H(z) = ∑ h (n) z –n Z-Transform.……(1)
n=-∞
Taking magnitude of both the sides
∞
|H(z)| = ∑ h(n) z –n …...(2)
n=-∞
Magnitudes of overall sum is less than the sum of magnitudes of individual sums.
∞
|H(z)| ≤ ∑ h(n) z-n
n=-∞
∞
|H(z)| ≤ ∑ |h(n)| | z-n | ….(3)
n=-∞

If H(z) is evaluated on the unit circle | z-n|=|z|=1.

Hence LSI system is stable if and only if the ROC the system function includes the
unit circle. i.e r < 1. This is the condition for stability of the LSI system in terms of
z transform. Thus
For stable system |z| < 1
For unstable system |z| > 1
Marginally stable system |z| = 1

Im(z)

Fig: Stable system

Poles inside unit circle gives stable system. Poles outside unit circle gives unstable
system. Poles on unit circle give marginally stable system.

3.1 INTRODUCTION

Any signal can be decomposed in terms of sinusoidal (or complex exponential)

components. Thus the analysis of signals can be done by transforming time domain
signals into frequency domain and vice-versa. This transformation between time and
frequency domain is performed with the help of Fourier Transform(FT) But still it is not
convenient for computation by DSP processors hence Discrete Fourier Transform(DFT) is
used.

Time domain analysis provides some information like amplitude at sampling instant but
does not convey frequency content & power, energy spectrum hence frequency domain
analysis is used.

For Discrete time signals x(n) , Fourier Transform is denoted as x(ω) & given by

of DFT of individual signals.

3. Circular Symmetries of a sequence

A) A sequence is said to be circularly even if it is symmetric about the point zero on the
circle. Thus X(N-n) = x(n)

B) A sequence is said to be circularly odd if it is anti symmetric about the point zero on
the circle. Thus X(N-n) = - x(n)

C) A circularly folded sequence is represented as x((-n))N and given by x((-n))N = x(N-n).

D) Anticlockwise direction gives delayed sequence and clockwise direction gives advance
sequence. Thus delayed or advances sequence x`(n) is related to x(n) by the circular
shift.

4. Symmetry Property of a sequence

A) Symmetry property for real valued x(n) i.e xI(n)=0

This property states that if x(n) is real then X(N-k) = X*(k)=X(-k)

3.6 APPLICATION OF DFT

1. DFT FOR LINEAR FILTERING

Consider that input sequence x(n) of Length L & impulse response of same system is h(n)
having M samples. Thus y(n) output of the system contains N samples where N=L+M-1. If
DFT of y(n) also contains N samples then only it uniquely represents y(n) in time domain.
Multiplication of two DFT’s is equivalent to circular convolution of corresponding time
domain sequences. But the length of x(n) & h(n) is less than N. Hence these sequences
are appended with zeros to make their length N called as “Zero padding”. The N point
circular convolution and linear convolution provide the same sequence. Thus linear
convolution can be obtained by circular convolution. Thus linear filtering is provided by
DFT.

When the input data sequence is long then it requires large time to get the output
sequence. Hence other techniques are used to filter long data sequences. Instead of
finding the output of complete input sequence it is broken into small length sequences.
The output due to these small length sequences are computed fast. The outputs due to
these small length sequences are fitted one after another to get the final output response.

METHOD 1: OVERLAP SAVE METHOD OF LINEAR FILTERING

Step 1> In this method L samples of the current segment and M-1 samples of the
previous segment forms the input data block. Thus data block will be

X1(n) ={0,0,0,0,0,………………… ,x(0),x(1),…………….x(L-1)}

X2(n) ={x(L-M+1), …………….x(L-1),x(L),x(L+1),,,,,,,,,,,,,x(2L-1)}
X3(n) ={x(2L-M+1), …………….x(2L-1),x(2L),x(2L+2),,,,,,,,,,,,,x(3L-1)}

Step2> Unit sample response h(n) contains M samples hence its length is made N by
padding zeros. Thus h(n) also contains N samples.

h(n)={ h(0), h(1), …………….h(M-1), 0,0,0,……………………(L-1 zeros)}

Step3> The N point DFT of h(n) is H(k) & DFT of m th data block be xm(K) then
corresponding DFT of output be Y`m(k)

Y`m(k)= H(k) xm(K)

Step 4> The sequence ym(n) can be obtained by taking N point IDFT of Y`m(k). Initial
(M-1) samples in the corresponding data block must be discarded. The last L samples are
the correct output samples. Such blocks are fitted one after another to get the final
output.

2. SPECTRUM ANALYSIS USING DFT

avscomputer.blogspot.com 40
Created by Amit S

DFT of the signal is used for spectrum analysis. DFT can be computed on digital computer
or digital signal processor. The signal to be analyzed is passed through anti-aliasing filter
and samples at the rate of Fs≥ 2 Fmax. Hence highest frequency component is Fs/2.

Frequency spectrum can be plotted by taking N number of samples & L samples of

waveforms. The total frequency range 2∏ is divided into N points. Spectrum is better if we
take large value of N & L But this increases processing time. DFT can be computed quickly
using FFT algorithm hence fast processing can be done. Thus most accurate resolution can
be obtained by increasing number of samples.

3.7 FAST FOURIER ALGORITHM (FFT)

1. Large number of the applications such as filtering, correlation analysis, spectrum

analysis require calculation of DFT. But direct computation of DFT require large number of
computations and hence processor remain busy. Hence special algorithms are developed
to compute DFT quickly called as Fast Fourier algorithms (FFT).

2. The radix-2 FFT algorithms are based on divide and conquer approach. In this
method, the N-point DFT is successively decomposed into smaller DFT’s. Because of this
decomposition, the number of computations are reduced.

RADIX-2 FFT ALGORITHMS

1. DECIMATION IN TIME (DITFFT)

There are three properties of twiddle factor WN

1) WNk+N = WNK (Periodicity Property)
2) WNk+N/2 = -WNK (Symmetry Property)
3) WN2= WN/2.

N point sequence x(n) be splitted into two N/2 point data sequences f1(n) and f2(n). f1(n)
contains even numbered samples of x(n) and f2(n) contains odd numbered samples of
x(n). This splitted operation is called decimation. Since it is done on time domain
sequence it is called “Decimation in Time”. Thus

f1(m)=x(2m) where n=0,1,………….N/2-1

f2(m)=x(2m+1) where n=0,1,………….N/2-1
N point DFT is given as

N-1
X(k) =∑ x (n) WNkn (1)
n=0
Since the sequence x(n) is splitted into even numbered and odd numbered samples, thus

COMPUTATIONAL COMPLEXITY  FFT V/S DIRECT COMPUTATION

For Radix-2 algorithm value of N is given as N= 2V

Hence value of v is calculated as
V= log10 N / log10 2
= log2 N
Thus if value of N is 8 then the value of v=3. Thus three stages of decimation. Total
number of butterflies will be Nv/2 = 12.
If value of N is 16 then the value of v=4. Thus four stages of decimation. Total number of
butterflies will be Nv/2 = 32.

Each butterfly operation takes two addition and one multiplication operations. Direct
computation requires N2 multiplication operation & N2 – N addition operations.

and B where a and b were stored hence called as In place computation. The advantage of
in place computation is that it reduces memory requirement.

Thus for computation of one butterfly, four memory locations are required for storing two
complex numbers A and B. In every stage there are N/2 butterflies hence total 2N
memory locations are required. 2N locations are required for each stage. Since stages are
computed successively these memory locations can be shared. In every stage N/2 twiddle
factors are required hence maximum storage requirements of N point DFT will be (2N +
N/2).

BIT REVERSAL

For 8 point DIT DFT input data sequence is written as x(0), x(4), x(2), x(6), x(1), x(5),
x(3), x(7) and the DFT sequence X(k) is in proper order as X(0), X(1), X(2), X(3), X(4),
x(5), X(6), x(7). In DIF FFT it is exactly opposite. This can be obtained by bit reversal
method.

2. DECIMATION IN FREQUENCY (DIFFFT)

In DIF N Point DFT is splitted into N/2 points DFT’s. X(k) is splitted with k even and k odd
this is called Decimation in frequency(DIF FFT).

N point DFT is given as

X(k) =∑ x (n) WNkn (1)

Since the sequence x(n) is splitted N/2 point samples, thus

Let us split X(k) into even and odd numbered samples

N/2-1
X(2k) =∑ x (n) + (-1)2k x(n + N/2) WN2kn (4)
m=0

N/2-1
X(2k+1) =∑ x (n)+(-1)(2k+1) x(n + N/2)WN(2k+1)n (5)
m=0

Equation (4) and (5) are thus simplified as

g1(n) = x (n) + x(n + N/2)

g2(n) = x (n) - x(n + N/2) WNn

GOERTZEL ALGORITHM

FFT algorithms are used to compute N point DFT for N samples of the sequence x(n). This
requires N/2 log2N number of complex multiplications and N log2N complex additions. In
some applications DFT is to be computed only at selected values of frequencies and
selected values are less than log2N, then direct computations of DFT becomes more
efficient than FFT. This direct computations of DFT can be realized through linear filtering
of x(n). Such linear filtering for computation of DFT can be implemented using Goertzel
algorithm.

By definition N point DFT is given as

N-1
X(k) =∑ x (m) WNkm (1)
m=0

Multiplying both sides by WN-kN (which is always equal to 1).

N-1
X(k) =∑ x (m) WNk(N-m) (2)
m=0
Thus for LSI system which has input x(n) and having unit sample response
hk(n)= WN-kn u(n)

avscomputer.blogspot.com 49
Created by Amit S

X(n) hk(n)= WN-kn u(n) yk(n)

Linear convolution is given by

∞
y(n) = ∑ x (k) h(n – k )
k=- ∞

∞
yk(n) = ∑ x (m) WN-k(n-m) u(n–m) (3)
m=-∞

As x(m) is given for N values

N-1
yk(n) = ∑ x (m) WN-k(n-m) (4)
m=0

The output of LSI system at n=N is given by

∞
yk(n)|n=N = ∑ x (m) WN-k(N-m) (5)
m=-∞

Thus comparing equation (2) and (5),

X(k) = yk(n)| n=N

Thus DFT can be obtained as the output of LSI system at n=N. Such systems can give
X(k) at selected values of k. Thus DFT is computed as linear filtering operations by
Goertzel Algorithm.

4.1 INTRODUCTION

avscomputer.blogspot.com 51
Created by Amit S
To remove or to reduce strength of unwanted signal like noise and to improve the
quality of required signal filtering process is used. To use the channel full bandwidth we
mix up two or more signals on transmission side and on receiver side we would like to
separate it out in efficient way. Hence filters are used. Thus the digital filters are mostly
used in

1. Removal of undesirable noise from the desired signals

2. Equalization of communication channels
3. Signal detection in radar, sonar and communication
4. Performing spectral analysis of signals.

Analog and digital filters

In signal processing, the function of a filter is to remove unwanted parts of the signal,
such as random noise, or to extract useful parts of the signal, such as the components
lying within a certain frequency range.

The following block diagram illustrates the basic idea.

There are two main kinds of filter, analog and digital. They are quite different in their
physical makeup and in how they work.

An analog filter uses analog electronic circuits made up from components such as
resistors, capacitors and op amps to produce the required filtering effect. Such filter
circuits are widely used in such applications as noise reduction, video signal enhancement,
graphic equalizers in hi-fi systems, and many other areas.

In analog filters the signal being filtered is an electrical voltage or current which is the
direct analogue of the physical quantity (e.g. a sound or video signal or transducer
output) involved.

A digital filter uses a digital processor to perform numerical calculations on sampled

values of the signal. The processor may be a general-purpose computer such as a PC, or a
specialized DSP (Digital Signal Processor) chip.

The analog input signal must first be sampled and digitized using an ADC (analog to
digital converter). The resulting binary numbers, representing successive sampled values
of the input signal, are transferred to the processor, which carries out numerical
calculations on them. These calculations typically involve multiplying the input values by
constants and adding the products together. If necessary, the results of these
calculations, which now represent sampled values of the filtered signal, are output
through a DAC (digital to analog converter) to convert the signal back to analog form.

In a digital filter, the signal is represented by a sequence of numbers, rather than a
voltage or current.

The following diagram shows the basic setup of such a system.

1. Samplers are used for converting continuous time signal into a discrete time signal
by taking samples of the continuous time signal at discrete time instants.

2. The Quantizer are used for converting a discrete time continuous amplitude signal
into a digital signal by expressing each sample value as a finite number of digits.

3. In the encoding operation, the quantization sample value is converted to the binary
equivalent of that quantization level.

4. The digital filters are the discrete time systems used for filtering of sequences.
These digital filters performs the frequency related operations such as low pass,
high pass, band pass and band reject etc. These digital Filters are designed with
digital hardware and software and are represented by difference equation.

FILTER TYPES AND IDEAL FILTER CHARACTERISTIC

Filters are usually classified according to their frequency-domain characteristic as lowpass,

highpass, bandpass and bandstop filters.

4. Bandstop Filter
A bandstop filter is made up of two passbands and one stopband so that the lower and
higher frequencies of the input signal are passed while the intervening frequencies are
attenuated. An idealized bandstop filter frequency response has the following shape.
|H(ω)|

5. Multipass Filter
A multipass filter begins with a stopband followed by more than one passband. By
default, a multipass filter in Digital Filter Designer consists of three passbands and
four stopbands. The frequencies of the input signal at the stopbands are attenuated
while those at the passbands are passed.

6. Multistop Filter
A multistop filter begins with a passband followed by more than one stopband. By
default, a multistop filter in Digital Filter Designer consists of three passbands and
two stopbands.

7. All Pass Filter

An all pass filter is defined as a system that has a constant magnitude response for
all frequencies.
|H(ω)| = 1 for 0 ≤ ω < ∏
The simplest example of an all pass filter is a pure delay system with system function
H(z) = Z-k. This is a low pass filter that has a linear phase characteristic.
All Pass filters find application as phase equalizers. When placed in cascade with a
system that has an undesired phase response, a phase equalizers is designed to
compensate for the poor phase characteristic of the system and therefore to produce an
overall linear phase response.

IDEAL FILTER CHARACTERISTIC

1. Ideal filters have a constant gain (usually taken as unity gain) passband
characteristic and zero gain in their stop band.
avscomputer.blogspot.com 55
Created by Amit S
2. Ideal filters have a linear phase characteristic within their passband.
3. Ideal filters also have constant magnitude characteristic.
4. Ideal filters are physically unrealizable.

4. Lattice structures.

1. DIRECT FORM STRUCTURE OF FIR SYSTEM

The convolution of h(n) and x(n) for FIR systems can be written as
M-1
y(n)=∑ h(k) x(n–k) (1)
k=0

The above equation can be expanded as,

Y(n)= h(0) x(n) + h(1) x(n-1) + h(2) x(n-2) + …………… + h(M-1) x(n-M+1) (2)

Implementation of direct form structure of FIR filter is based upon the above equation.

FIG - DIRECT FORM REALIZATION OF FIR SYSTEM

1) There are M-1 unit delay blocks. One unit delay block requires one memory
location. Hence direct form structure requires M-1 memory locations.

2) The multiplication of h(k) and x(n-k) is performed for 0 to M-1 terms. Hence M
multiplications and M-1 additions are required.

3) Direct form structure is often called as transversal or tapped delay line filter.

2. CASCADE FORM STRUCTURE OF FIR SYSTEM

In cascade form, stages are cascaded (connected) in series. The output of one system is
input to another. Thus total K number of stages are cascaded. The total system function
'H' is given by

H= H1(z) . H2(z)……………………. Hk(z) (1)

FIG - DIRECT FORM I REALIZATION OF IIR SYSTEM

1. Direct form I realization of H(z) can be obtained by cascading the realization of

H1(z) which is all zero system first and then H2(z) which is all pole system.

2. There are M+N-1 unit delay blocks. One unit delay block requires one memory
location. Hence direct form structure requires M+N-1 memory locations.

3. Direct Form I realization requires M+N+1 number of multiplications and M+N

number of additions and M+N+1 number of memory locations.

DIRECT FORM - II

1. Direct form realization of H(z) can be obtained by cascading the realization of

H1(z) which is all pole system and H2(z) which is all zero system.

2. Two delay elements of all pole and all zero system can be merged into single delay
element.

3. Direct Form II structure has reduced memory requirement compared to Direct

form I structure. Hence it is called canonic form.

4.5 IIR FILTER DESIGN - IMPULSE INVARIANCE METHOD

Impulse Invariance Method is simplest method used for designing IIR Filters.
Important Features of this Method are

1. In impulse variance method, Analog filters are converted into digital filter just by
replacing unit sample response of the digital filter by the sampled version of
impulse response of analog filter. Sampled signal is obtained by putting t=nT
hence
h(n) = ha(nT) n=0,1,2. ………….
where h(n) is the unit sample response of digital filter and T is sampling interval.
2. But the main disadvantage of this method is that it does not correspond to simple
algebraic mapping of S plane to the Z plane. Thus the mapping from analog
frequency to digital frequency is many to one. The segments

avscomputer.blogspot.com 62
Created by Amit S
(2k-1)∏/T ≤ Ω ≤ (2k+1) ∏/T of jΩ axis are all mapped on the unit circle ∏≤ω≤∏.
This takes place because of sampling.

3. Frequency aliasing is second disadvantage in this method. Because of frequency

aliasing, the frequency response of the resulting digital filter will not be identical to
the original analog frequency response.

4. Because of these factors, its application is limited to design low frequency filters
like LPF or a limited class of band pass filters.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN Z PLANE AND S PLANE

Z is represented as rejω in polar form and relationship between Z plane and S plane is
given as Z=eST where s= σ + j Ω.
Z= eST (Relationship Between Z plane and S plane)
Z= e (σ + j Ω) T
= eσT . ejΩT
Comparing Z value with the polar form we have.

r= e σ T and ω = Ω T
Here we have three condition
1) If σ = 0 then r=1
2) If σ < 0 then 0 < r < 1
3) If σ > 0 then r> 1
Thus
1) Left side of s-plane is mapped inside the unit circle.
2) Right side of s-plane is mapped outside the unit circle.
3) jΩ axis is in s-plane is mapped on the unit circle.

4.6 IIR FILTER DESIGN - BILINEAR TRANSFORMATION METHOD (BZT)

The method of filter design by impulse invariance suffers from aliasing. Hence in order to
overcome this drawback Bilinear transformation method is designed. In analogue domain
frequency axis is an infinitely long straight line while sampled data z plane it is unit circle

avscomputer.blogspot.com 65
Created by Amit S
radius. The bilinear transformation is the method of squashing the infinite straight analog
frequency axis so that it becomes finite.

Important Features of Bilinear Transform Method are

1. Bilinear transformation method (BZT) is a mapping from analog S plane to digital

Z plane. This conversion maps analog poles to digital poles and analog zeros to
digital zeros. Thus all poles and zeros are mapped.

2. This transformation is basically based on a numerical integration techniques used

to simulate an integrator of analog filter.

3. There is one to one correspondence between continuous time and discrete time
frequency points. Entire range in Ω is mapped only once into the range -∏≤ω≤∏.

4. Frequency relationship is non-linear. Frequency warping or frequency

compression is due to non-linearity. Frequency warping means amplitude response
of digital filter is expanded at the lower frequencies and compressed at the higher
frequencies in comparison of the analog filter.

5. But the main disadvantage of frequency warping is that it does change the shape
of the desired filter frequency response. In particular, it changes the shape of the
transition bands.

CONVERSION OF ANALOG FILTER INTO DIGITAL FILTER

METHOD FOR DESIGNING DIGITAL FILTERS USING BZT

step 1. Find out the value of ωc*.

ωc*cc=
= (2/T) tan (ωc Ts/2)

step 2. Find out the value of frequency scaled analog transfer function

Normalized analog transfer function is frequency scaled by replacing s by s/ωp*.

step 3. Convert into digital filter

Apply BZT. i.e Replace s by the ((z-1)/(z+1)). And find out the desired transfer
function of digital function.

Example:
Q) Design first order high pass butterworth filter whose cutoff frequency is 1 kHz at
sampling frequency of 104 sps. Use BZT Method

Step 1. To find out the cutoff frequency

ωc = 2∏f
= 2000 rad/sec

Step 2. To find the prewarp frequency

ωc* = tan (ωc Ts/2)
= tan(∏/10)

Step 3. Scaling of the transfer function

For First order HPF transfer function H(s) = s/(s+1)

Scaled transfer function H*(s) = H(s) |s=s/ωc*
H*(s)= s/(s + 0.325)

Step 4. Find out the digital filter transfer function. Replace s by (z-1)/(z+1)

H(z)= z-1

Q) Design second order low pass butterworth filter whose cutoff frequency is 1 kHz at
sampling frequency of 104 sps.

Q) First order low pass butterworth filter whose bandwidth is known to be 1 rad/sec . Use
BZT method to design digital filter of 20 Hz bandwidth at sampling frequency 60 sps.

Q) Second order low pass butterworth filter whose bandwidth is known to be 1 rad/sec .
Use BZT method to obtain transfer function H(z) of digital filter of 3 DB cutoff frequency of
150 Hz and sampling frequency 1.28 kHz.

Q) The transfer function is given as s2+1 / s2+s+1 The function is for Notch filter with
frequency 1 rad/sec. Design digital Notch filter with the following specification
(1) Notch Frequency= 60 Hz
(2) Sampling frequency = 960 sps.

4.7 BUTTERWORTH FILTER APPROXIMATION

The filter passes all frequencies below Ωc. This is called passband of the filter. Also
the filter blocks all the frequencies above Ωc. This is called stopband of the filter. Ωc is
called cutoff frequency or critical frequency.
No Practical filters can provide the ideal characteristic. Hence approximation of the
ideal characteristic are used. Such approximations are standard and used for filter design.
Such three approximations are regularly used.
a) Butterworth Filter Approximation
b) Chebyshev Filter Approximation
c) Elliptic Filter Approximation
Butterworth filters are defined by the property that the magnitude response is
maximally flat in the passband.

FREQUENCY RESPONSE CHARACTERISTIC

The frequency response characteristic of |Ha(Ω)|2 is as shown. As the order of the filter N
increases, the butterworth filter characteristic is more close to the ideal characteristic.
Thus at higher orders like N=16 the butterworth filter characteristic closely approximate
ideal filter characteristic. Thus an infinite order filter (N  ∞) is required to get ideal
characteristic.

4.9 FIR FILTER DESIGN

Features of FIR Filter

1. FIR filter always provides linear phase response. This specifies that the signals in
the pass band will suffer no dispersion Hence when the user wants no phase
distortion, then FIR filters are preferable over IIR. Phase distortion always
degrade the system performance. In various applications like speech processing,
data transmission over long distance FIR filters are more preferable due to this
characteristic.

2. FIR filters are most stable as compared with IIR filters due to its non feedback
nature.

3. Quantization Noise can be made negligible in FIR filters. Due to this sharp cutoff
FIR filters can be easily designed.

4. Disadvantage of FIR filters is that they need higher ordered for similar magnitude
response of IIR filters.

FIR SYSTEM ARE ALWAYS STABLE. Why?

Proof:
Difference equation of FIR filter of length M is given as
M-1
y(n)=∑ bk x(n–k) (1)
k=0

And the coefficient bk are related to unit sample response as

H(n) = bn for 0 ≤ n ≤ M-1
= 0 otherwise.

We can expand this equation as

Y(n)= b0 x(n) + b1 x(n-1) + …….. + bM-1 x(n-M+1) (2)

System is stable only if system produces bounded output for every bounded input. This is
stability definition for any system.
Here h(n)={b0, b1, b2, } of the FIR filter are stable. Thus y(n) is bounded if input
x(n) is bounded. This means FIR system produces bounded output for every bounded
input. Hence FIR systems are always stable.

Symmetric and Anti-symmetric FIR filters

Created by Amit S

1. Unit sample response of FIR filters is symmetric if it satisfies following condition

h(n)= h(M-1-n) n=0,1,2…………….M-1

2. Unit sample response of FIR filters is Anti-symmetric if it satisfies following

condition
h(n)= -h(M-1-n) n=0,1,2…………….M-1

FIR Filter Design Methods

The various method used for FIR Filer design are as follows
1. Fourier Series method
2. Windowing Method
3. DFT method
4. Frequency sampling Method. (IFT Method)

GIBBS PHENOMENON

Consider the ideal LPF frequency response as shown in Fig 1 with a normalizing angular
cut off frequency Ωc.

Impulse response of an ideal LPF is as shown in Fig 2.

1. In Fourier series method, limits of summation index is -∞ to ∞. But filter must

have finite terms. Hence limit of summation index change to -Q to Q where Q is some
finite integer. But this type of truncation may result in poor convergence of the series.
Abrupt truncation of infinite series is equivalent to multiplying infinite series with
rectangular sequence. i.e at the point of discontinuity some oscillation may be observed in
resultant series.

2. Consider the example of LPF having desired frequency response Hd (ω) as shown
in figure. The oscillations or ringing takes place near band-edge of the filter.

3. This oscillation or ringing is generated because of side lobes in the frequency

avscomputer.blogspot.com 78
Created by Amit S
response W(ω) of the window function. This oscillatory behavior is called "Gibbs
Phenomenon".

Truncated response and ringing effect is as shown in fig 3.

W[n]
WINDOWING TECHNIQUE

Windowing is the quickest method for designing an FIR filter. A windowing function
simply truncates the ideal impulse response to obtain a causal FIR approximation that is
non causal and infinitely long. Smoother window functions provide higher out-of band
rejection in the filter response. However this smoothness comes at the cost of wider
stopband transitions.
Various windowing method attempts to minimize the width of the main lobe (peak)
of the frequency response. In addition, it attempts to minimize the side lobes (ripple) of
the frequency response.

Rectangular Window: Rectangular This is the most basic of windowing methods. It

does not require any operations because its values are either 1 or 0. It creates an abrupt
discontinuity that results in sharp roll-offs but large ripples.

Rectangular window is defined by the following equation.

=1 for 0 ≤ n ≤ N
=0 otherwise

Triangular Window: The computational simplicity of this window, a simple convolution

Kaiser Window: This windowing method is designed to generate a sharp central peak. It
has reduced side lobes and transition band is also narrow. Thus commonly used in FIR
filter design.

Hamming Window: This windowing method generates a moderately sharp central peak.
Its ability to generate a maximally flat response makes it convenient for speech
processing filtering.

Hanning Window: This windowing method generates a maximum flat filter design.

4.10 DESIGNING FILTER DESIGN FROM POLE ZERO PLACEMENT

Filters can be designed from its pole zero plot. Following two constraints should be
imposed while designing the filters.

1. All poles should be placed inside the unit circle on order for the filter to be stable.
However zeros can be placed anywhere in the z plane. FIR filters are all zero filters hence
they are always stable. IIR filters are stable only when all poles of the filter are inside unit
circle.

2. All complex poles and zeros occur in complex conjugate pairs in order for the filter
coefficients to be real.

In the design of low pass filters, the poles should be placed near the unit circle at points
corresponding to low frequencies ( near ω=0)and zeros should be placed near or on unit
circle at points corresponding to high frequencies (near ω=∏). The opposite is true for
high pass filters.

NOTCH AND COMB FILTERS

A notch filter is a filter that contains one or more deep notches or ideally perfect nulls in
its frequency response characteristic. Notch filters are useful in many applications where
specific frequency components must be eliminated. Example Instrumentation and
recording systems required that the power-line frequency 60Hz and its harmonics be
eliminated.
To create nulls in the frequency response of a filter at a frequency ω0, simply
introduce a pair of complex-conjugate zeros on the unit circle at an angle ω0.
comb filters are similar to notch filters in which the nulls occur periodically across
the frequency band similar with periodically spaced teeth. Frequency response
characteristic of notch filter |H(ω)| is as shown

DIGITAL RESONATOR

A digital resonator is a special two pole bandpass filter with a pair of complex
conjugate poles located near the unit circle. The name resonator refers to the fact that the
filter has a larger magnitude response in the vicinity of the pole locations. Digital
resonators are useful in many applications, including simple bandpass filtering and speech
generations.

IDEAL FILTERS ARE NOT PHYSICALLY REALIZABLE. Why?

Ideal filters are not physically realizable because Ideal filters are anti-causal and as only
causal systems are physically realizable.

Proof:
Let take example of ideal lowpass filter.
H(ω) = 1 for - ωc ≤ ω ≤ ωc
= 0 elsewhere

The unit sample response of this ideal LPF can be obtained by taking IFT of H(ω).

Thus h(n)= sin ωcn / ∏n for n≠0

and h(n) = ωc / ∏ for n=0

i.e
sin (ωcn )
∏n for n≠0

h(n) =
ωc
n for n=0

Hence impulse response of an ideal LPF is as shown in Fig

LSI system is causal if its unit sample response satisfies following condition.
h(n) = 0 for n<0
In above figure h(n) extends -∞ to ∞. Hence h(n) ≠0 for n<0. This means causality
condition is not satisfied by the ideal low pass filter. Hence ideal low pass filter is non
causal and it is not physically realizable.

EXAMPLES OF SIMPLE DIGITAL FILTERS:

The following examples illustrate the essential features of digital filters.

1. UNITY GAIN FILTER: yn = xn

Each output value yn is exactly the same as the corresponding input value xn:

2. SIMPLE GAIN FILTER: yn = Kxn (K = constant) Amplifier or attenuator)

This simply applies a gain factor K to each input value:

3. PURE DELAY FILTER: yn = xn-1

The output value at time t = nh is simply the input at time t = (n-1)h, i.e. the
signal is delayed by time h:

4. TWO-TERM DIFFERENCE FILTER: yn = xn - xn-1

The output value at t = nh is equal to the difference between the current input xn
and the previous input xn-1:

5. TWO-TERM AVERAGE FILTER: yn = (xn + xn-1) / 2

The output is the average (arithmetic mean) of the current and previous input:

avscomputer.blogspot.com 83
Created by Amit S

6. THREE-TERM AVERAGE FILTER: yn = (xn + xn-1 + xn-2) / 3

This is similar to the previous example, with the average being taken of the current
and two previous inputs.

7. CENTRAL DIFFERENCE FILTER: yn = (xn - xn-2) / 2

This is similar in its effect to example (4). The output is equal to half the change in
the input signal over the previous two sampling intervals:

ORDER OF A DIGITAL FILTER

The order of a digital filter can be defined as the number of previous inputs (stored in the
processor's memory) used to calculate the current output.
This is illustrated by the filters given as examples in the previous section.

Example (1): yn = xn
This is a zero order filter, since the current output yn depends only on the current
input xn and not on any previous inputs.

Example (2): yn = Kxn

The order of this filter is again zero, since no previous outputs are required to give
the current output value.

Example (3): yn = xn-1

This is a first order filter, as one previous input (xn-1) is required to calculate yn.
(Note that this filter is classed as first-order because it uses one previous input,
even though the current input is not used).

Example (4): yn = xn - xn-1

This is again a first order filter, since one previous input value is required to give
the current output.

Example (5): yn = (xn + xn-1) / 2

The order of this filter is again equal to 1 since it uses just one previous input
value.

Example (6): yn = (xn + xn-1 + xn-2) / 3

To compute the current output yn, two previous inputs (xn-1 and xn-2) are needed;
this is therefore a second-order filter.

Example (7): yn = (xn - xn-2) / 2

The filter order is again 2, since the processor must store two previous inputs in
order to compute the current output. This is unaffected by the absence of an
explicit xn-1 term in the filter expression.

Q) For each of the following filters, state the order of the filter and identify the values of
its coefficients:
(a) yn = 2xn - xn-1 A) Order = 1: a0 = 2, a1 = -1
(b) yn = xn-2 B) Order = 2: a0 = 0, a1 = 0, a2 = 1
(c) yn = xn - 2xn-1 + 2xn-2 + xn-3 C) Order = 3: a0 = 1, a1 = -2, a2 = 2, a3 = 1

5.1 REQUIREMENTS OF DSP PROCESSORS

The most fundamental mathematical operation in DSP is sum of products also called as
dot of products.
Y(n)= h(0)*x(n) + h(1)*x(n-1) +………+ h(N-1)*x(n-N)
This operation is mostly used in digital filter designing, DFT, FFT and many other DSP
applications. A DSP is optimized to perform repetitive mathematical operations such as
the dot product. There are five basic requirements of s DSP processor to optimize the
performance They are

1) Fast arithmetic
2) Extended precision
3) Fast Execution - Dual operand fetch
4) Fast data exchange
5) Fast operations
6) Circular buffering

Sr Requirements Features of DSP processor

have ALU and a programmable shifter function for bit
manipulation.

High degree of overflow protection.

3 Fast Execution Parallel Execution is required in place of sequential.

5.2 MICROPROCESSOR ARCHITECTURES

There are mainly three types of microprocessor architectures present.

1. Von-Neumann architecture
2. Harvard architecture
3. Analog devices Modified Harvard architecture.

1) Von-Neumann Architecture
General purpose microprocessors uses the Von-Neumann Architectures. (named after the
American mathematician John Von Neumann)

1. It consists of ALU, accumulator, IO devices and common address and data bus. It
also consists of a single memory which contains data and instructions, a single bus for
transferring data and instructions into and out of the CPU.

2. Multiplying two numbers requires at leased three cycles, two cycles are required to
transfer the two numbers into the CPU and one cycle to transfer the instruction.

3. This architecture is giving good performance when all the required tasks can be
executed serially.

4. For large processing applications like DSP applications Von-Neumann architecture is

not suitable as processing speed is less. Processing speed can be increased by pipelining
up to certain extend which is not sufficient for DSP applications.

2) Harvard Architecture (named for the work done at Harvard university)

1. Data and program instructions each have separate memories and buses as shown.
Program memory address and data buses for program memory and data memory address
and data buses for data memory.
2. Since the buses operate independently, program instructions and data can be fetched
at the same time. Therefore improving speed over the single bus Von Neumann design.
3. In order to perform a single FIR filter multiply-accumulate, an instruction is fetched
from the program memory, and during the same cycle, a coefficient can be fetched from
the data memory. A second cycle is required to fetch the data word from data memory.

3) Analog Devices modified Harvard architectures.

1. In these architectures, program and data are allowed in the program memory. For
example in case of digital filter coefficients are stored in program memory and data
samples are in data memory. A coefficient and data sample can thus be fetched in a single
cycle. At the same time, instruction is also fetched from program memory.
2. Analog devices modified architecture can handle this is two ways. In the first method ,
the program memory is accessed twice in an instruction cycle. (As in case of ADSP-218x)
In the second method program cache is provided.
3. The DSP caches the instruction in cache memory and when the next time the
instruction is called, the program sequence obtains it from the cache. (In case of ADSP-
219x)

Fig 1 shows Harvard Architecture Common to many DSP processors. The processor can
simultaneously access two memory blanks using two independent sets of buses allowing
operands to be loaded while fetching instructions.
Fig 2 shows Von-Neumann memory architecture common among microcontrollers Since
there is only one data bus, operands can not be loaded while instructions are fetched.

BUSES:
The ADSP-21xx processors have five internal buses to ensure data transfer.
89
Created by Amit S

1. PMA and DMA buses are used internally for addresses associated with Program and
data memory. The PMD and DMD are used for data associated with memory
spaces. Off Chip, the buses are multiplexed into a single external address bus and a
single external data bus. The address spaces are selected by the appropriate
control signal.

2. The result (R) bus transfers the intermediate results directly between various
computational units.

3. PMA bus is 14-bits wide allowing direct access of up to 16k words of code and data.
PMD bus is 24 bits wide to accommodate the 24 bit instruction width.
The DMA bus 14 bits wide allowing direct access of up to 16k words of data.
The DMD bus is 16 bit wide.

4. The DMD bus provides a path for the contents of any register in the processor to be
transferred to any other register or to any external data memory location in a
single cycle. DMA address comes from two sources. An absolute value specified in
the instruction code (direct addressing) or the output of DAG (Indirect addressing).
The PMD bus can also be used to transfer data to and from the computational units
thro direct path or via PMD-DMD bus exchange unit.

COMPUTATIONAL UNITS:

The processor contains three -independent computational units. ALU, MAC (Multiplier-
accumulator) and the barrel shifter. The computational units process 16-bit data directly.
ALU is 16 bits wide with two 16 bit input ports and one output port. The ALU provides a
standard set of arithmetic and logic functions.

ALU Features
1. Add, subtract, Negate, increment, decrement, Absolute value, AND, OR, EX-OR, Not
etc.
2. Bitwise operators, Constant operators
3. Multi-precision Math Capability
4. Divide Primitives and overflow support.

MAC:
The MAC performs high speed single-cycle multiply/add and multiply/subtract
operations. MAC has two 16 bit input ports and one 32 bit product output port. 32 bit
product is passed to a 40 bit adder/subtractor which adds or subtracts the new product
from the content of the multiplier result (MR). It also contains a 40 bit accumulator which
provides 8 bit overflow in successive additions to ensure that no loss of data occurs. 256
overflows would have to occur before any data is lost. A set of background registers is
also available in the MAC for interrupts service routine.

SHIFTER:
The shifter performs a complete set of shifting functions like logical and arithmetic
shifts (circular or linear shift) , normalization (fixed point to floating point conversion),
demoralization (floating point to fixed point conversion) etc

90
Created by Amit S
ALU, MAC and shifter are connected to DMD bus on one side and to R bus on other side.
All three sections contains input and output registers which are accessible from the
internal DMD bus. Computational operations generally take the operands from input
registers and load the result into an output register.

DATA ADDRESS GENERATORS (DAG):

Two DAG's and a powerful program sequencer ensure efficient use of these
computational units. The two DAG's provides memory addresses when memory data is
transferred to or from the input or output registers. Each DAG keeps track of up to four
address pointers. Hence jumps, branching types of instructions are implemented within
one cycle. With two independent DAG's, the processor can generate two address
simultaneously for dual operand fetches.

DAG1 can supply addresses to data memory only. DAG2 can supply addresses to
either data memory or program memory. When the appropriate mode bit is set in mode
status register (MSTAT), the output address of DAG1 is bit-reversed before being driven
onto the address bus. This feature facilitates addressing in radix-2 FFT algorithm.

PROGRAM SEQUENCER:
The program sequencer exchanges data with DMD bus. It can also take from PMD
bus. It supplies instruction address to program memory. The sequencer is driven by the
instruction register which holds the currently executing instruction. The instruction
register introduces a single level of pipelining into the program flow. Instructions are
fetched and loaded into the instruction register during one processor cycle, and executed
during the following cycle while the next instruction is pre-fetched. The cache memory
stores up to 16 previously executed instructions. Thus data memory on PMD bus is more
efficient because of cache memory. This also makes pipelining and increase the speed of
operations.

The system builder is the software development tool for describing the
configuration of the target system's memory and I/O. The ranges for program
memory(PM) and data memory(DM) are described.

The program memory space is allotted with 16 K of memory for instructions and
16K for data. The data memory space is also divide into two blocks. The lowest 2K is the
dual -port memory that is shared by both processors. Each processor has an additional
14K of private data memory.

written in assembly language file (.DSP) Assembler reads .DSP file and generates four
output filed with the same root name. Object file(.OBJ), Code File(.CDE), Initialization File
(.INT), List File(.LST) etc. The file can be assembled by the following command.

LINKER

92
Created by Amit S
The linker is a program used to join together object files into one large object file.
The linker produces a link file which contains the binary codes for all the combined
modules. The linker uses .INT, .CDE, .OBJ and .ACH file and generates three files. Map
listing file (.MAP), Memory Image File (.EXE) and Symbol table (.SYM).

LD21 FILTER -a SAMPLE -e FILTER

Here Filter is the input file name, sample.ACH file is system architecture file name and
FILTER.EXE is output file name.

DEBUGGER

A debugger is a program which allows user to load object code program into system
memory, execute the program and debug it. The debugger allows the user to look at the
contents of registers and memory locations etc. We can change the contents of registers
and memory locations at run time, generates breakpoints etc.

SIMULATOR

The multiprogramming environment can be tested using the simulator. When

simulated, the filter program produces output data and stores in common data memory.
Simulator command is used to dump form data memory to store the dual port data
memory image on disk which can be reloaded and tested.

5.5 APPLICATIONS OF DSP

1. SPEECH RECOGNITION

Basic block diagram of a speech recognition system is shown in Fig 1

1. In speech recognition system using microphone one can input speech or voice. The
analog speech signal is converted to digital speech signal by speech digitizer. Such
digital signal is called digitized speech.

2. The digitized speech is processed by DSP system. The significant features of

speech such as its formats, energy, linear prediction coefficients are extracted.
The template of this extracted features are compared with the standard
reference templates. The closed matched template is considered as the
recognized word.

3. Voice operated consumer products like TV, VCR, Radio, lights, fans and voice
operated telephone dialing are examples of DSP based speech recognized devices.

Fig shows block diagram of speech synthesizer using linear prediction.

1. For voiced sound, pulse generator is selected as signal source while for unvoiced
sounds noise generator is selected as signal source.

2. The linear prediction coefficients are used as coefficients of digital filter. Depending
upon these coefficients , the signal is passed and filtered by the digital filter.

3. The low pass filter removes high frequency noise if any from the synthesized
speech. Because of linear phase characteristic FIR filters are mostly used as digital
filters.

3. SOUND PROCESSING

1. In sound processing application, Music compression(MP3) is achieved by

converting the time domain signal to the frequency domain then removing
frequencies which are no audible.

94
Created by Amit S
2. The time domain waveform is transformed to the frequency domain using a filter
bank. The strength of each frequency band is analyzed and quantized based on
how much effect they have on the perceived decompressed signal.

3. The DSP processor is also used in digital video disk (DVD) which uses MPEG-2
compression, Web video content application like Intel Indeo, real audio.

4. Sound synthesis and manipulation, filtering, distortion, stretching effects are also
done by DSP processor. ADC and DAC are used in signal generation and recording.

4. ECHO CANCELLATION

In the telephone network, the subscribers are connected to telephone exchange by two
wire circuit. The exchanges are connected by four wire circuit. The two wire circuit is
bidirectional and carries signal in both the directions. The four wire circuit has separate
paths for transmission and reception. The hybrid coil at the exchange provides the
interface between two wire and four wire circuit which also provides impedance matching
between two wire and four wire circuits. Hence there are no echo or reflections on the
lines. But this impedance matching is not perfect because it is length dependent. Hence
for echo cancellation, DSP techniques are used as follows.

Figure : Echo canceller principle

1. An DSP based acoustic echo canceller works in the following fashion: it records the
sound going to the loudspeaker and substract it from the signal coming from
the microphone. The sound going through the echo-loop is transformed and
delayed, and noise is added, which complicate the substraction process.

2. Let be the input signal going to the loudspeaker; let be the signal picked up by
the microphone, which will be called the desired signal. The signal after
substraction will be called the error signal and will be denoted by . The adaptive
filter will try to identify the equivalent filter seen by the system from the

95
Created by Amit S
loudspeaker to the microphone, which is the transfer function of the room the
loudpeaker and microphone are in.

3. This transfer function will depend heavily on the physical characteristics of the
environment. In broad terms, a small room with absorbing walls will origninate
just a few, first order reflections so that its transfer function will have a short
impulse response. On the other hand, large rooms with reflecting walls will have a
transfer function whose impulse response decays slowly in time, so that echo
cancellation will be much more difficult.

5. VIBRATION ANALYSIS

1. Normally machines such as motor, ball bearing etc systems vibrate depending upon
the speed of their movements.

2. In order to detect fault in the system spectrum analysis can be performed. It shows
fixed frequency pattern depending upon the vibrations. If there is fault in the
machine, the predetermined spectrum is changes. There are new frequencies
introduced in the spectrum representing fault.

3. This spectrum analysis can be performed by DSP system. The DSP system can also
be used to monitor other parameters of the machine simultaneously.
