Midterm Examination Flashcards
DSP stands for?
Digital Signal Processing
is the process of analyzing and modifying a
signal to optimize or improve its efficiency or
performance.
Digital Signal Processing
is concerned with the representation of signals
by sequence of numbers or symbols and the
processing of these sequences
Digital Signal Processing
is an electrical or electromagnetic
current that is used for carrying data from one
device or network to another
Signal
can be define as a function that
conveys information, generally about the state
or behavior of a physical system
Signal
are those signals for which both time and amplitude are continuous.
Analog signal
are those signals that are defined only at discrete units of time
Discrete signal
Involves analyzing, modifying, and synthesizing signals to
pull meaning out of it.
Signal Processing
Two classifications of signal processing:
Analog Signal Processing
Digital Signal Processing
deals with transformation of
analog signals
Analog signal processing
deals with the processing of discrete signals
Digital signal processing
Block diagram of a Digital Processing system
Pre-filter
ADC
DSP
DAC
Post-filter
used to filter out unwanted high-frequency components from
raw analog input signal.
Pre-filter
converts analog signals to digital signals
ADC
the digital signal is analyzed and processed and the synthesized output is fed to DAC
DSP
converts digital signals back to analog signals.
DAC
Used to filter out unwanted high-frequency components in
the generated analog signal
Post-filter
Applications of DSP System: (5)
Speech and Audio Processing;
Image and Video Processing;
Military and Telecommunications;
Healthcare and Biomedical sector; and
Consumer electronics
This involves speech recognition and analysis
noise filtering, echo cancellation, etc.
Speech and Audio Processing
This involves compression, enhancement,
reconstruction and restoration of images and
videos.
Image and Video Processing
Example radar tracking, modulation and
demodulation
Military and Telecommunications
Example analysis of ECG and X-ray signal
Healthcare and Biomedical sector
Most digital equipment like smartphones,
televisions, digital cameras, etc. it has DSP
embedded on it to accelerate its
performance
Consumer electronics
In electrical engineering, the fundamental
quantity of representing some information is
called a?
Signal
is a function that conveys some information
Signal
Analog signals are denoted by?
Sine waves
