Catalog Description: This course covers both the analysis and design of FIR and IIR digital filters. Implementations in both hardware (DSP chips) and software will be discussed. Emphasis on the use of the FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) as an analysis tool will also be included. Examples will be presented to illustrate the use of digital filtering in areas such as speech processing, noise canceling, and communication.

Prerequisite: ECEN 3300, Linear Systems

Textbook: Oppenheim, Shafer, and Buck, Discrete-Time Signal Processing, Prentice Hall, 1999.

Course Objectives: To be able to analyze digital filters in the time domain and frequency domain, and to be able to design and implement digital filters given design requirements.

Topics:

Analyzing and simulating signals in the time domain.
Analyzing signals in the frequency domain (Fourier series, Fourier transform, discrete Fourier transform, FFT).
Analyzing and implementing digital filters (FIR and IIR filters).
Designing digital filters (FIR and IIR filters).
Interpolation and decimation.

Class Schedule: 3 hours of lecture per week

Contribution of course to meeting Criterion 4, the professional component: This course provides 3 semester hours of electrical engineering topics consisting of engineering sciences and engineering design.

Relationship of course to program outcomes: This course is not required and is not included in outcomes assessment.
