INTRODUCTION TO REAL-TIME DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING

ECE 303

Emphasizes the implementation of DSP algorithms on a digital signal processor in "real-time." Many of the signal processing algorithms that were used inE C E 203will be reviewed in MATLAB and then will be implemented on a floating point signal processor in "real-time" using the C programming language. Explore many basic digital signal processing processes in real-time. Gain the ability to create and develop your own Digital Signal Processing projects for a modern digital signal precessor using an Integrated Development Environment. Lab hardware will be provided.
