Description/Value to Others: This course is included in the EEC curriculum of the University of Porto, is given in Portuguese language, and is dedicated to laboratory work using a TI starter kit based on the C31 floating point processor. This course assumes that students are already familiar with basic discrete time theory including such concepts and techniques as discrete time signals and systems, sampling and reconstruction of analog signals, linear time-invariant systems, structures for the realization of LTI systems, FIR and IIR filter design, decimation and interpolation, the discrete Fourier transform and Z transform, overlap-add and overlap-save methods of fast filtering in the frequency domain, response of LTI systems to discrete random signals, the FFT and its implementation.

The DSP laboratory course focuses on practical DSP applications and issues including efficient realization structures and real-time processing constraints. The motivation of the course is that the advantages of DSP are better demonstrated by lab examples covering a representative diversity of application scenarios, and that effective learning happens when the student is challenged with specific DSP design and realization issues.

Besides getting familiar with the C31 starter kit development environment plus the (unfortunately discontinued) Code Explorer debugger, students are motivated to new topics such as filter banks, uniform filter banks and their relation to the DFT, half-band filters, M-band filters, power complementary filters, the QMF filter bank and its efficient realization, multi-resolution analysis using the QMF, adaptive filtering, polyphase decomposition of interpolation and decimation filters and their efficient realization, Hilbert Transformer and SSD modulation. During a 13 week semester, students have to perform 10 laboratory experiments, most of which require Matlab and assembly programming.

The themes of those laboratory experiments are: aliasing in sampling, waveform generation and DA+AD testing, floating-point versus fixed-point processing, FIR filtering and filter modulation, IIR filtering, five-vowel synthesizer, interpolation using polyphase filters, echo cancellation, FFT assembly implementation, and SSB modulation.
