Advanced Digital Signal Processing (102H6)
Advanced Digital Signal Processing
Module 102H6
Module details for 2022/23.
15 credits
FHEQ Level 7 (Masters)
Module Outline
The module covers the theory and applications of digital signal processing.
The module starts with the revision of linear systems theory, discretisation, Fourier, Laplace, and z-transforms. The relationship between s and z planes, stability, poles and zero locations are examined.
This is followed by a detailed discussion of the system response, convolution and correlation functions. Design methods for finite impulse response (FIR) and infinite impulse response (IIR) digital filters are covered in detail.
The discrete and fast Fourier transform algorithm are covered in detail.
Two-dimensional filtering for image and video processing are examined along with the discrete cosine transforms for image compression.
The lectures are supported by laboratory sessions in which the filtering techniques are implemented on DSP hardware, coding in both C and Matlab.
The syllabus covers the following AHEP4 learning outcomes: M1, M2, M3, M4, M12

Please note that the University will use all reasonable endeavours to deliver courses and modules in accordance with the descriptions set out here. However, the University keeps its courses and modules under review with the aim of enhancing quality. Some changes may therefore be made to the form or content of courses or modules shown as part of the normal process of curriculum management.
The University reserves the right to make changes to the contents or methods of delivery of, or to discontinue, merge or combine modules, if such action is reasonably considered necessary by the University. If there are not sufficient student numbers to make a module viable, the University reserves the right to cancel such a module. If the University withdraws or discontinues a module, it will use its reasonable endeavours to provide a suitable alternative module.
