This course builds on EENG 21000 Signals and Systems to provide students with an understanding of the theory, interpretation, design and application of DSP techniques. In particular the course covers the theory and practice of digital filters and Fourier transform based spectrum analysis. Spectral descriptions of continuous-time and discrete-time waveforms are reviewed and related, and the FFT algorithm is used as a spectral analysis tool. The behaviour of digital filters is analysed through the use of difference equations and transfer functions via the z-transform. Methods for designing IIR and FIR filters are described, and various issues associated with their practical implementation are discussed.
