EE/TE 4385 - DSP-Based Design Project I - Lectures and Lab Schedule

The optional textbooks are

• C. Richard Johnson, Jr., and William A. Sethares, Telecommunication Breakdown, Prentice Hall, ISBN 0131430475, 2004.
• Nasser Kehtarnavaz, Digital Signal Processing System-Level Design Using LabVIEW, Elsevier/Newnes, 2005

The Johnson and Sethares text reflects the recent shift in telecommunications technology from hardware to software by focusing on the design of a digital software-defined radio. Telecommunications Breakdown explains a complete digital radio that includes each part of a typical digital communication system.

You will need a knowledge of Labview. The following tutorial is useful for a good start

• LabVIEW tutorial (35 minutes in length)

You need various TMS320C6000 manuals, which are only available electronically:

• Code Composer User's Guide (328B)
• Optimizing C Compiler (187K)
• Programmer's Guide (198G)
• CPU and Instruction Set Reference Guide (189F)
• Evaluation Module User's Guide (269F)
• TMS320C67x Fast RTS Library

According to DSPguru Digital Signal Processing (DSP) is a complex subject! Thus, we need additional resources to supplement the course material presented in the class. Most of this list is compiled from Brian Evans's Real-Time DSP class at UT Austin.

Additional Resources and References

You can get a lot of help from the following book on our lab experiments and QAM implementation

• Steven A. Tretter, Communication system design using DSP algorithms: with laboratory experiments for the TMS320C6700, Kluwer Academic Publishers, ISBN 0-306-47429-8, March 2003. Corrections and code are at http://www.ece.umd.edu/~tretter.

Many of the multimedia demonstrations given in lecture will be taken from the CD ROM that comes with the book.

• James H. McClellan, Ronald W. Schafer, and Mark A. Yoder,
, Signal Processing First, Pearson/Prentice-Hall, 2003, Sample CD-ROM demonstrations

The content of the four TMS320C6000 manuals used in the laboratory is distilled into the following tutorial book:

• Rulph Chassaing, Digital Signal Processing and Applications with the C6713 and C6416 DSK ISBN: 0-471-69007-4,  December 2004.
