Course Introduction

The principal objective of this course is to provide a systematic introduction to the basic concepts and
methodologies for digital signal processing and to develop a foundation that can be used as the basis for further
study and research in this field. The aim is to help the student develop sufficient intuition as to how a DSP
technique works, be able to apply the technique, and be capable of interpreting the results of the application.

Course Contents
▪ Introduction This chapter provides an introduction to the concepts of signals, systems, and signal processing.
▪ Discrete-time signals and systems The subject of this chapter is the mathematical properties and analysis of linear
time-invariant systems with emphasis on the convolution representation.
▪ The z-transform This chapter serves as a refresher on the z-transform of a sequence and shows how the properties
of the sequence are related to the properties of its z-transform. The z-transform facilitates the representation and
analysis of LTI systems using the powerful concepts of system function, poles, and zeros.
▪ Sampling of continuous-time signals This chapter is mainly concerned with the conditions that should be satisfied
for the accurate representation of baseband and band-pass continuous-time signals by discrete-time signals.
However, the treatment is extended to the sampling and reconstruction of discrete-time signals.
▪ Transform analysis of LTI systems introduces the concept of frequency response function and shows a close
coupling of its shape to the poles and zeros of the system function. This leads to a set of tools which are then
utilized for the analysis and design of LTI systems
▪ Structures for discrete-time systems This chapter is concerned with different structures for the representation and
implementation of discrete-time systems described by linear constant-coefficient difference equations
▪ Design of FIR filters Chapter 7 presents procedures (design techniques) for obtaining values of FIR filter
coefficients to approximate a desired frequency response function. Design techniques such as window technique
and frequency-sampling technique are discussed
▪ Design of IIR filters Chapter 7 also presents design techniques for IIR systems with rational system functions. It
begins with analog filter design and then continues with the transformation of analog low-pass filters to digital
low-pass filters and then concludes with the filter-band transformation to obtain other frequency-selective digital
filters.
▪ Computation of the Discrete Fourier Transform A number of efficient algorithms for the computation of DFT in
practical applications are presented
