Abstract

The category of "Laboratory Courses, Projects, Seminars" includes courses and laboratories in various formats designed to impart practical knowledge and skills. Moreover, these classes encourage independent experimentation and design, allow for explorative learning and teach the methodology of project work.

Objective

Many practical applications require the processing of digital signals in real time (e.g., digital communication, audio and video processing, radar, etc.). Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) are a family of microprocessors specifically designed and optimized for this purpose. In this course, students learn the basics of digital signal processing as well as how to implement them on DSPs with assembler. The relevant theory and the necessary skills in assembler programming will be acquired step by step. The course culminates in an individual small project which students carry out in groups of two. The course uses a custom-designed board for implementation. The board features components as they are also common in industry. It has analog inputs and outputs, an analog/digital-digital/analog codec, a DSP of the "Blackfin" family by Analog Devices (BF532) as well as 32MB of memory.
