Course Policies
§ Do not expect that everything said during the lecture will be
documented in the lecture notes.
§ Expect that everything “said” during a lecture or tutorials will be
known by all students. So, if you do not attend, then please
frequently update or “at least” ask !
§ Your responsibility is to frequently check the course website
(BKeL) regularly for any announcements or materials

Signal Processing
§ Humans are the most advanced signal processors
▫ speech and pattern recognition, speech synthesis,…
§ Encounter many types of signals in various applications
▫ Electrical signals: voltage, current, magnetic and electric fields.
▫ Mechanical signals: velocity, force, displacement.
▫ Acoustic signals: sound, vibration,…
▫ Other signals: pressure, temperature,…
§ Most real-world signals are analog
▫ They are continuous in time and amplitude
▫ Convert to voltage or currents using sensors and transducers
§ Analog circuits process these signals using
▫ Resistors, Capacitors, Inductors, Amplifiers
§ Analog signal processing examples
▫ Audio processing in FM radios
▫ Video processing in traditional TV sets
CO2035 – Digital Signal Processing --- Course Introduction 11
Analog Signal Processing
§ Accuracy limitations
▫ Component tolerances, undesired nonlinearities
§ Limited repeatability due to
▫ Tolerances, Temperature, Vibration
§ Sensitivity to electrical noise
§ Limited dynamic range for voltage and currents
§ Inflexibility to changes
§ Difficulty of implementing certain operations
▫ Nonlinear operations, Time-varying operations
§ Difficulty of storing information
CO2035 – Digital Signal Processing --- Course Introduction 12
What is Digital Signal Processing?
§ Convert naturally occurring analog signals to digital form.
§ Represent analog data as an approximated digital version or vice-versa to
represent digital data as an approximate representation of an analog signal.

Digital Signal Processing
§ Pros
▫ Remove unwanted noise
▫ Encode/Encrypt the data for secure transmission
▫ Detect and correct data
▫ Process, store, transmit, and reproduce data more easily
▫ Dynamic range can be controlled using floating point numbers
▫ Flexibility can be achieved with software implementations
▫ Price/performance and reduced time-to-market
§ Cons
▫ Sampling causes loss of information
▫ A/D and D/A requires mixed-signal hardware
▫ Limited speed of processors
▫ Quantization and round-off errors
