Course content

Digital signal processors (DSPs) can be found in many devices such as mobile phones, PDAs and digital cameras. Their fields of application are ubiquitous ranging from control and measurement to audio and video processing.
This lecture deals with the concepts of modern digital signal processors. It covers main topics of micro processor architectures, focuses on the characteristic features of DSP and presents up-to-date processors and development methods for DSP systems. Various case studies are presented during this lecture.
The lecture is complemented by a dedicated lab course.

Outline
  1. Introduction to microprocessors
  2. Fundamentals of DSPs
  3. Development of DSP systems
  4. Examples of DSPs
  5. DSP programming
  6. DSP applications and case studies

Prior knowledge expected

This course is primarily indented for master students in information and communications engineering or computer science and PhD students in engineering. The course aims to cover the key technologies and methods found in modern microprocessors, with a special focus on digitial signal processors and embedded processors. Participants should have passed (bachelor) courses on computer organization/computer architecture, digitial circuits, signal processing and programming. This course is included in the catalogue “ICE: Supplements”.

Related (master) courses include sensor networks (Rinner), wireless networks (Bettstetter), pervasive computing (Rinner) and fundamentals of image processing lab.
