A Digital Signal Processing Laboratory for Undergraduates ‘Tamal Bose, Senior Member, IEBE Aberact— An undergraduate level laboratory on Digital Signal Procesing (DSP) Is described. The equlpment used and samples ‘Of staden experiment are described In detall. The lab based on ‘the TMS320 digital signal processor andi equipped with spectral tals and audio signal procesing eapeoiiie. The primary Porpowe of the lab to supplement 4 course on Digital Fier Desiga and Implementation. However, it can abo be ase for senior design projects valving DSP applications, 1. wwrmopucnon NTIL RECENTLY, Digital Signal Processing (DSP) used to be taught only at the graduate level. With the aid growth of applications of DSP in the industry, it has be- ‘come necessary to inrodace these concepts to undergraduates. 'A graduate level course on DSP would typically require an ‘indepth background in discrete system theory. A knowledge of real analysis would also be an asset if advanced topics on adaptive fiers [1]-2], rite word length effects (3118). ‘nonlinear filtering [9]-{11], and spectral analysis (12}(13), ‘ae included. It is unrealistic to expect an undergraduate to Ihave such a background. Therefore, an undergraduate course ‘on DSP must be modified sccondingly. Advanced topics like the ones named above should be avoided. If a laboratory is used to supplement the couse, then it greatly enhances the students’ understanding of the concepts. Als, the hands-on element of the laboratory has a great impact in motivating the tudents in the subject. ‘There is some published literature on the teaching of DSP at the undergraduate level. In [14]-15] the authors describe a {ew senior level projects using TMS320 based DSP systems. In 16, some simple techniques are described for scaling digital ‘ers that can be used by the undergraduates. In this paper 4 DSP laboratory is described in detail, The lecture course that this lab supplements is also described briefly. number of student experiments are presented. These experiments are
