What is Digital Signal Processing?

Represent a signal by a sequence of numbers (called

a "discrete-time signal” or "digital signal").

Modify this sequence of numbers by a computing
process to change or extract information from the
original signal

The "computing process" is a system that converts
one digital signal into another— it is a "discrete-time
system” or "digital system“.

Discrete-time signal vs.
continuous-time signal

Continuous-time signal:
- define for a continuous duration of time
- sound, voice…

Discrete-time signal:
- define only for discrete points in time (hourly, every
second, …)
- an image in computer, a MP3 music file
- amplitude could be discrete or continuous
- if the amplitude is also discrete, the signal is digital.

Advantages of Digital
Signal Processing

Flexible: re-programming ability

More reliable

Smaller, lighter  less power

Easy to use, to develop and test (by using the
assistant tools)

Suitable to sophisticated applications

Suitable to remote-control applications
2
Limitations of Digital Signal
Processing

A/D and D/A needed  aliasing error and

quantization error

Not suitable to high-frequency signal

Require high technology

Step 2: “Signal Processing”

Performed by:

Special-purpose (custom) chips: application-specific integrated
circuits (ASIC)

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA)

General-purpose microprocessors or microcontrollers (µP/µC)

General-purpose digital signal processors (DSP processors)

DSP processors with application-specific hardware (HW)
accelerators

Step 2: “Signal Processing”

Step 2: “Signal Processing”

Use basic operations of addition,

multiplication and delay

Combine these operations to accomplish
processing: a discrete-time input signal  a
discrete-time output signal)
3
A simple example of step 2:
“Signal Processing”

From a discrete-time input signal:
{ 1 2 4 -9 5 3 }

Create a discrete-time output signal:
{ 1/3 1 7/3 -1 0 -1/3 8/3 2 }
What is the relation between input and output signal?
 HW

By referring all EE341 references, let each student group write a

two-page A4 English report (Times New Roman font; 13-pt size;
1.5-lines line spacing) to introduce a specific DSP system supplied
by Instructor.
The report has to meet 3 following requirements:
- Identify benefits and weakness of using DSP instead of ASP in
given system
- Identify the function of each module of the given DSP system
- Set 3 multiple-choice and 3 gap-filled questions including the
answers for the reader self-testing
