Digital Signal Processing (DSP) has become over the years an important tool with applications in
Electrical and Mechanical Engineering fields. DSP has penetrated many domains of applications,
such as digital communications, medical imaging, audio & video systems, consumer electronics,
robotics, remote sensing, finance etc.
The Discrete-Time Signal Processing paradigm is a convenient setting to analyse the basic
principles of DSP. At the end of this course, the students should be able to understand these basic
principles, and apply fundamental algorithms and methods to analyse and design discrete-time
systems for modern DSP applications. Though the course will focus on the study of theoretical
concepts, methods and algorithms, the student will be confronted with application and imple-
mentation issues, through various examples and assignments requiring personal computer work
including processing of real-world signals.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
Having successfully completed this course, students will:
1. Understand the properties of z-transforms and its relations to LTI systems.
2. Have the understanding and the ability to use sampling and related concepts such changing
sampling rate, pre- ltering to avoid aliasing, oversampling & noise shaping.
3. Understand the concepts of all pass and minimum phase systems.
4. Understand IIR/FIR filter structures and ability to design filters.
5. Understand the processing of real time signals using Fourier techniques and ability to plan
and construct systems for spectral estimation of real signals.
6. Understand implementational aspects of simple DSP algorithms.
Indicative Assessment
Weekly problems; mid-semester quiz; Matlab project; final exam.
The ANU uses Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. While the use of Turnitin is not mandatory, the ANU highly recommends Turnitin is used by both teaching staff and students. For additional information regarding Turnitin please visit the ANU Online website.

Fees
Tuition fees are for the academic year indicated at the top of the page.
If you are a domestic graduate coursework or international student you will be required to pay tuition fees. Students continuing in their current program of study will have their tuition fees indexed annually from the year in which you commenced your program. Further information for domestic and international students about tuition and other fees can be found at Fees.
