This course includes both analog and digital signal processing topics and the pros and cons of each methodology. In the analog arena, operational amplifier circuits will be studied as they apply to various signal processing functions and to active filters. Concentration will be on higher-order active filters and current circuit implementations. Extensive use will be made of circuit simulation software and computer-controlled test equipment. In the digital arena, the characteristics of sampled signals will be examined and various digital filter implementations will be studied. Considerable hands-on work will be done using data acquisition cards and sound cards installed in a computer workstation.
