programme in Electronics and Computer Engineering.
Content, progress and pedagogy of the
module
Purpose
This semester offers two themes: automation and real-time signal
processing, students has the option to select any one of them.
The purpose of real-time signal processing is to offer students
with fundamental knowledge of digital signal processing systems as
well as the real time issues within this kind of systems. Students
shall be able to develop a signal processing system using the
knowledge leaned from this semester, and implement the
developed solution using the real-time ad embedded programming
skills.
Learning objectives
Knowledge
- Must have insight of sampling mechanism and sampling theorem
with proper ADC implementation
- Must have insight of typical numerical computation
methods, including the principles, features and limitations
- Must be able to simulated the concerned digital signal
processing solution in an efficient and reliable manner
- Must be able to convert an analog filter into its equivalent
digital version, and analyse the influence due to this
discretization
- Must have insight of typical digital filter design techniques,
including FIR and IIR filter designs
- Must have insight of discrete Fourier transform and its
efficient digital computation algorithms, named FFT
- Must have an understanding of different digital filter, e.g.,
DSP implementation
- Must be able to take care of the real-time issue in a
systematic manner when a digital filter is
implemented
Skills
- Must be able to determine a correct sampling frequency based on
system frequency feature analysis
- Must be able to commit a proper discretization of an analog
filter
- Must be able to design frequency selective filters and analyse
the system frequency features
- Must be able to commit digital signal spectrum analysis
and analyse its results and limitations
- Must be able to cope with the real-time issue of digital
implementation in an professional manner
Competences
- Must be able to analyse and design a digital implementation of
a filter in an professional way
- Must be able to design typical frequency selective filters
either in a direct digital way or indirect way, i.e., converting
from analog one to its digital formulation
- Must be able to produce a signal’s digital spectrum and
retrieve signal’s corresponding features
- Must be able to commit the real-time analysis and programming
of the concerned digital filter
