I had prepared most part of these lecture notes for DSP along with Prof. Ahsan
Ursani, currently the Chairman for the Department of Biomedical Engineering,
back in 2009 when we taught DSP to 07TL.

I acknowledge Prof. Ursani’s equal contribution towards the development of these


lecture notes.

Digital Signal Processing: What is it?

What is digital signal processing (DSP) anyway?

The term DSP generally refers to the use of digital


computers to process signals.

Normally, these signals can be handled by analog


processors but, for a variety of reasons, we may
prefer to handle them digitally
Why Digital Signal Processing?
 Why Digital Signals & Digital Systems?
 Analog signals can’t be stored properly
 Processing analog signals is not efficient
 e.g.An analogue filter with sharp cutoff has non-linear
phase response
Why Digital Signal Processing?
 Why Digital Signals & Digital Systems?
 Analog systems are usually implemented using
resistors, capacitors, inductors, op-amps, transistors etc
 Potentially consume a lot of power
 Analog systems can get very complex
 An analog system made for one task/purpose may not
work for another task/purpose
Why Digital Signal Processing?
 Why Digital Signals & Digital Systems?
 Digital signals can be easily stored and processed
 Digital Signal ‘Processing’ is implemented in processors
 Processors in your cell phones, mp3 players etc
 Same processor can be used for many applications
 Multi-purpose
 PC can be used for education, gaming, watching movies,
listening to songs… what else?
 Digital systems will always consume less power than
their analogue counterparts!
DSP for Telecom engineers: Why?
 DSP has made deep inroads in to Telecommunications
 All modern communication systems are based on
‘digital communication’ principles, which makes them
robust against noise, that is always present in the
channel
 Robustness is due to the signal processing algorithms
that run in the digital system
 Regenerative repeaters
 Equalizers
 Error-correction codes and so on
Cont’d
 Modern communication systems are based on Field
Programmable Gate Array (FPGAs), Digital Signal
Processors (DSPs) or Application Specific
Integrated Circuits (ASICs)

 All these really implement DSP algorithms


DSP Applications
 Medical
 Diagnostic imaging (MRI, CT, ultrasound, etc.)
 Electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis
 Electroencephalogram (EEG) analysis
 Medical image storage and retrieval

 Scientific
 Data acquisition (you will have to submit a project)
 Data extraction (DIP)
 Simulation & modeling
 Spectral analysis
Cont’d
Commercial
 Sound Processing

 Its no fluke that suddenly every singer has a good voice!!


 MP3, WMA, RM etc
 Image Processing
 Adobe Photoshop
 JPEG, BMP, GIF etc
 Video Processing
 Better video formats that occupy less space
 Video stabilization
Cont’d
 Military
 More secure information transfer (better encryption)
 Jammers
 RADAR
 GPS guided missiles?

So many more applications!
