Course Objectives The objective of this course is to provide a basic introduction to the
theory of digital signal processing (DSP). Major parts of the course
will concentrate on signal analysis using Fourier transforms, linear
system analysis, filter design and a few more advanced topics. We
1
will study the discrete Fourier transform and its properties. We will
also study the sampling theorem and the relationship between
continuous and discrete time transforms.
We will see how discrete time, linear shift invariant systems can be
characterized using linear difference equations and the impulse
response and show how tools such as the Z-transform and discrete
Fourier transform can be used in the design and analysis of such
systems. We will then study the design and implementation of digital
filters. While this course deals largely with the theory of DSP, we will
use MATLAB, to look at applications of this theory, particularly
Fourier analysis and digital filter design.
