DSP instead of circuits? - Transition to undergraduate DSP education at Rose-Hulman
نویسندگان
چکیده
We assert that digital signal processing (DSP) can and should be taught early (sophomore-junior) in the electrical and computer engineering curricula. This paper looks at the impact this has on the rest of the curriculum, both in electrical and computer engineering and in other engineering curricula. While the early introduction of basic DSP makes it possible to offer better senior electives and graduate courses in DSP, the biggest benefit is the ability to build on DSP core concepts just as we have traditionally built on circuits core concepts in the past. Further, motivational examples in DSP lend themselves to multimedia and are often more familiar to today's students than basic circuits.

Experiences in teaching DSP first in the ECE curriculum
In this paper we describe experiences gained from teaching an introductory electrical engineering course based on digital signal processing rather than the traditional first course in analog circuit theory. We will discuss our motivation for teaching DSP first, before covering analog circuits and systems. We will describe the style of the course and point out difficulties, as well as advantages...
متن کاملUltra-Low-Energy DSP Processor Design for Many-Core Parallel Applications
Background and Objectives: Digital signal processors are widely used in energy constrained applications in which battery lifetime is a critical concern. Accordingly, designing ultra-low-energy processors is a major concern. In this work and in the first step, we propose a sub-threshold DSP processor. Methods: As our baseline architecture, we use a modified version of an existing ultra-low-power...
متن کامل"Digital signal processing with applications: " a new and successful approach to undergraduate DSP education
The new approach to undergraduate DSP education at Purdue is based on a simple idea: emphasize applications. Students are assumed to have a significant exposure to sampling and discrete-time signals, systems, and transforms at the junior level. In the senior course, the traditional DSP topics of digital filter design, the DFT, radix-2 FFT’s, and quantization are covered in the first five weeks ...
متن کاملImplementation and Critical Investigation on Modulation Schemes of Three Phase Impedance Source Inverter
New control circuits and algorithms are frequently proposed to control the impedance (Z) source inverter in efficient way with added benefits. As a result, several modified control techniques have been proposed in recent years. Although these techniques are clearly superior to the simple boost control method which was initially proposed along with the Z-source inverter (ZSI), little or conf...
متن کاملDigital Signal Processing The Impact of Convergence on Hardware Design Flow
Design and development of real-time, memory and processor hungry digital signal processing systems have for decades been accomplished on general-purpose microprocessors. Various attempts to improve the performance of these systems resulted in the use of dedicated digital signal processing devices like DSP processors and the former heavyweight champion of electronics design — Application Specifi...
