Course Description
This course covers knowledge of digital filter characteristics; digital filter design
principles; various design methods to actually design digital filters with two
typicall types FIR and IIR; the use of Matlab software to design filter to solve
real world applications
Course Learning Outcomes
1. Explain digital filter characteristics and design principles
2. Calculate filter input specifications in digital domain
3. Design, program FIR digital filters and compare various design techniques
4. Analyze complexity and tradeoffs of the FIR and IIR filter design methods
5. Apply the design techniques to build filter-based solution for real problems
6. Form effective team-work and demonstrate transparent communication in
small group to complete project design during the course

Kinds of signals

• Given a continuous-time (CT) signal x(t), we can sample it to generate

the discrete-time (DT) signal x(n)

x(n) = x(nΔT ), where ΔT is the sampling period

• 1-D signals: speech, audio, biosensor, ECG, etc.

• 2-D signals: image (optical, X-ray, MRI), remote sensing data, etc.
• 2.5-D signals: video, ultrasound images (2-D + time)
• 3-D signals: graphics and animation
• Multi-D signals: multi-spectral data, sonar array etc.

Why do we need Signal Processing ?

• Signal processing is an operation designed for extracting, enhancing,

storing and transmitting expected (useful) information.
• Which are expected (useful) and unwanted (noisy) information ? Very
much depend on subjective and objective of application.
è Quiz 01: Teamwork to examples
• How to process signals? In practice, mostly deal with analog signals.
They are processed by analog devices (active and passive elements
?): Analog Signal Processing
è Quiz 02: Draw scheme of Analog Signal Processing without reading
next slide ?

Digital Signal Processing – Analog Signal Processing

• Process signals based on digital hardware containing: adders,

multipliers, logic elements
• Can be general-purpose computer or specific-purpose microp. or digital
hardware
Equivalent analog signal processor
Analog Analog
PrF ADC DSP DAC PoF

• PrF: Pre-filter or antialiasing Filter

• ADC/DAC: Analog-to-digital and Digital-to-Analog converters
• PoF: Post-filter to smooth out staircase waveform
