DSP-Based Design Project I- Overview
In this senior design project course, the students will gain hands-on experience with
Real-Time Digital Signal Processing: Signals, sampling, quantization, and filters
Digital Communications System Engineering: pulse shaping, modulation, psuedo-random sequences, and modem technology
Digital Signal Processors: Harvard architecture, special addressing modes, parallel instructions, real-time programming, pipelining, modern DSP architectures.
In the laboratory, students will design, implement, and test five DSP experiments to reach the ultimate goal of building their own DSP project. In the experiments and in implementing their project, students will be writing C and assembly language software for the TMS320C6700 floating-point DSP from Texas Instruments and interface the DSP to external devices. During this course, the students will learn about modem technology, which is widely used in fax machines, voiceband modems, and digital subscriber line modems, embedded digital signal processors which are the hidden processing power behind audio CD players, music synthesizers, disk drives, digital cellular phones, sonar, radar, radios, digital video disk (DVD) players, and video telephones.
