Signal Processing 3

Townsville

HECS Band 2

39 hours lectures, 39 hours tutorials, demonstrations and practicals, site visits and seminars. Semester 1.

Software and Theory: The sampling and processing of signals in a digital environment, including effects of sampling, aliasing, time domain to frequency domain transforms, convolution and correlation of sequences, window and filter specification, specification and design of IIR and FIR filters.

Hardware: Analogue to digital and digital to analogue converters, direct digital synthesis. Digital down conversion, decimation and interpolation. Digital signal processing engines.

Learning Objectives:

to understand the characteristics of sampled signals and mechanisms for sampling;

to understand the principles, application and interpretation of Discrete and Fast Fourier Transforms;

to understand the principles, application and interpretation of Convolution and Correlation (in terms of digital signal processing);

to understand the principles, application and interpretation of windowing techniques, the Z-transform and Bilinear Z-transform;

ability to write specification and using these to design digital FIR and IIR filters;

to understand the properties and limitations of DSP hardware;

ability to specify and select components required for a DSP based radio receiver.

Assessment by examination (50%-70%); on-course assessment (30%-50%).
