General Competencies

The course offers students opportunity to program, simulate and verify basic digital signal processing algorithms. For this purpose, they will use Matlab programming environment together with the Signal processing toolbox. Also, they will be able to individually investigate real-time implementation of these algorithms on a DSP based laboratory test-beds that consist of: DSP evaluation board, signal generator, microphone input, loudspeaker and oscilloscope. Work in the laboratory is supplemented with self study hours that students spend at home by solving exercises and writing Matlab programs as a preparation for the next laboratory session. The students should get acquainted with laboratory instrumentation, and procedures for measurement the parameters and analysis of various analog signal processing circuits, be able to create projects and solutions for different signal processing tasks, and to develop and realize simple SP circuits. Simulate linear and nonlinear analog circuits using CAD programs.

Comment:

No mid-term and final exam. Acquired knowledge and skills are tested at the end of each laboratory exercise. Points acquired at the laboratory exercises pertaining to each of the three theoretical courses related with this one contribute 33.3% of the final mark. Students have to acquire at least 50% of points in each of the three exercise groups.
