DSP Concepts, Programming and Prototyping using MATLAB

Duration: 5 Days

Intended Audience

The course is aimed at engineers having interest in mathematical analysis and modeling who have some experience working with MATLAB, and, who require an introduction to basic and advanced DSP concepts and who wish to learn the techniques and theory of mathematical modeling of DSP systems via the use of MATLAB software and associated toolboxes such as the MATLAB image processing toolbox, signal processing toolbox, filter design toolbox and wavelet toolbox.

Synopsis

Digital Signal Processing (DSP) is concerned with the digital representation of signals and the use of digital hardware to analyze, modify, or extract information from these signals. Advances in digital signal processing technology have considerably reduced the cost of the implementation of sophisticated DSP algorithms.Matlab and associated DSP toolboxes provide an interactive software development environment for prototyping, testing and realising DSP software. In particular, this, facilitates the design of applications that make use of DSP filters and DSP transformsuch without having to work through a lot of mathematics. Once designed, much of the corresponding DSP code can be generated and evaluated.
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to both basic and more advanced DSP algorithms and their underlying concepts. In this course the principles and concepts underlying the mathematical analysis and modeling of signal processing systems are carefully covered.
The main topics covered in this course include filter design methods as well as adaptive filtering. The course also introduces multirate systems, image processing systems and wavelet analysis of signals.
