Introduction:
• Digital: operating by the use of discrete signal
to represent data in the form of numbers.
• Signal: A parameter(electrical quantity or
effect) that can be varied in such a way as to
convey information.
• Processing: A series operation performed
according to programmed instructions.
Definition of Signal Processing:
• SIGNAL PROCESSING
is the analysis,
interpretation and
manipulation of like
sound, images, time-
varying measurement
values and sensor
data etc.
Needs of signal processing:
• When a signal is transmitted from one point
to another there is every possibility of
contamination/deformation of the signal by
external noise.
• So to retrieve the original signal at the
receiver suitable filters are to be used.
i.e The signal is processed to obtain the pure
signal.
Definition of DSP:
• Analog waveform is sliced into equal
segments and the waveform amplitude is
measured in the middle of each segment.
• The collection of measurements make up the
digital representation of the waveform.
Categories of DSP:
• Analog signal
processing

• Digital signal
processing
Analog signal processing:
• Signals that have not been digitized, as in
classical radio, telephone, radar and television
systems.
• This involves linear electronic circuits such as
passive filters, active filters, additive mixers,
integrators and delay lines.
• It also involves non-linear circuits such as
multiplicators, phase-locked loops, voltage-
controlled oscillators
Digital signal processing:
• Signals that have been digitized, processing is
done by general-purpose computers or by
digital circuits such as ASICs, specilized digital
signal processors,etc.
Advantages of DSP:
• The main advantage of digital signals over
analog signals is that the precise signal level of
the digital signal is not vital.
• Digital signals can convey information with
greater noise immunity.
• It enables multi-directional transmission
simultaneously.
• It is more secure.
Continued….
• Enables transmission of signals over a long
distance.
• Digital signals typically use less bandwidth.
• Size is small.
Applications of DSP:
Digital signal processing has variety of
applications like as follows
• Digital filtering
• Video compression
• Audio compression
• Speech processing
• Image processing
• RADAR and Sonar processing
