Digital Signal Processing (Theory)
Course Code: EEN-325
Credit Hours: 3
Pre-requisite: Signals and Systems
Objectives: The course aims to develop mathematical and analytical skills
necessary to perform time/spectral analysis of digital signals
and systems. Furthermore, this course will polish student’s
design abilities and will enable them to interpret and
implement digital systems with the high level of accuracy.
Course Learning Outcomes After taking this course, students will be able to:
(CLOs): CLO 1: (C2): Explain the fundamentals of signals and LTI systems.
CLO 2: (C4): Analyze and characterize LTI systems through
convolution sum, difference equation, DTFT, DFT (FFT) and Z-
Transform.
CLO3: (C4):Design the structural representation of any discrete/
digital filter to map it on embedded hardware.
CLO 4: (C4): Design and interpret complete discrete/ digital
system both in time and frequency domain.
