EE411: Digital Signal Processing

Spring 2017

Course Catalog Description

Digital signal processing is a major field in the current era of engineering, with applications ranging from mobile and wireless communication,
satellite communications, radar, sonar, acoustics, forensic sciences, biomedical, imaging, speech, earth observation, space-sciences and many
more. This course covers the relevant background theory for processing any generic deterministic signals in digital domain. In particular,
following topics are covered:

Continuous-time and discrete-time signals and their relationship, Linear time invariant (LTI) systems representation and analysis techniques in
time domain, Z-transform, Fourier transforms, LTI system representation and analysis techniques in frequency domain, Sampling theory and
discrete time processing of continuous time signals, Discrete Fourier transform, Fast Fourier transform, Structures for discrete time systems,
Introduction to digital filter design techniques.
