DSP (digital signal processing) (DSP) deals with commonly signals such as speech, music, video, EKG or ECG (heart), and EEG (brain). Applications of DSP Signal transmission /storage/retrieval Speech coding , music coding, data compression communication over noisy channels Information extraction Radar and sonar signal processing Speech ,image and character recognition Preparing the analog signal for communication through a communication channel Analyzing the analog signal for use in a voice recognition telephone system. SIGNALS, SYSTEMS, AND SIGNAL PROCESSING A signal is defined as any physical quantity that vary with time or any independent variables A system may also be defined as a physical device that performs an operation on a signal A Signal processing is the operations that performed on the signal means processed the signal. DSP block diagram Classification of signals:• Multi channel and multi dimension signals • Continuous Time versus Discrete Time Signal • Continuous – Valued versus Discrete – Valued Signals • Deterministic signal and Random signal Analog-To-Digital convertor • Sampler • Quantization • Coding. Analog signal Sampler Discrete time signal Quantized signal Quantizes Codes Digital signal Sampling of analog signal This is the conversion of a continuous-time signal into discrete-time signal obtained by taking samples of the continuous-time signal at discrete-time instant The sampling theorem introduced by Nyquist and later by Shannon is used to determine the appropriate sampling rate Fs≥2Fmax
