DSP Primer

3-day DSP training course for engineers and designers new to DSP or needing to refresh their knowledge.

This course provides a foundation for Digital Signal Processing theory to serve as either a refresher or as an introductory course. The course begins with a foundation in signal processing concepts and terminology and evolves to explore filtering concepts and techniques, convolutions, and transforms. Although the course is theoretical in nature, the underlying focus is on factors relevant to efficient implementation in hardware. Concepts that are introduced are complemented by several hands-on exercises.

Course Outline

  • Course Agenda
  • Back to Basics – Introduces basic concepts and origins of signal processing, quantization, sampling theory and methods, fixed point and floating point numbers.
  • Linear Systems – Discusses the requirements and special properties of linear systems. Comparison of linear systems and non-linear systems.
  • Exercise 1 – MATLAB refresher, Linear Time Invariant systems and properties.
  • Correlation and Convolution – Introduces concepts and properties of correlation and convolution. Introduces the Delta function and impulse response. Discusses common impulse responses and mathematical properties.
  • Exercise 2 – Correlation, convolution, impulse response, and autocorrelation.
  • Filter Basics – Introduces basic concepts of filtering, filter classification, properties, and types, including Butterworth, Chebyshev, Elliptic, and Bessel filters.
  • Z-Transform – Discusses the z-Transform and applications to filter design. Examines Region of Convergence and stability.
