ECE 512 - Real-Time Digital Signal Processing

Units: 3
When Offered: Spring
This course introduces the fundamental principles of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) in a real-time (or lab-based) approach. Topics include introduction to ARM (brand) microcontrollers (for implementing lab experiments), analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, finite impulse response (FIR) and infinite impulse response (IIR) filtering, the Fourier Transform, and adaptive filtering. The course aims to produce students who are capable of designing DSP systems and creating commercially-viable audio applications using high-performance and energy-efficient ARM processors.
