Abstract:
The object of the course is to provide a foundational understanding of digital filter design,
analysis, implementation, and application. The study will consider both classic and
contemporary digital filter design strategies along with their facilitating technologies.
Topical Outline
I. Review of DSP Principles
II. FIR Filters and Design - exam
III. IIR Filters and Design – exam
IV. IIR Architecture and Analysis – exam
V. Multi-rate Filters
Course Format and Evaluation
The course is presented using a studio-based format that begins each session with a discussion
of previously assigned auto-graded Challenge Problem, followed by the introduction of new
material, and ending with a new Challenge Problem. Challenge questions are to be answered
on-line by 10:00AM on the day they are due (see calendar).
Assessment
Guaranteed (pre-final letter grade) will tentatively be based on three hourly exams (80%),
MATLAB design projects (15%), and Challenge Problems (on-line submission) 5%. The final
exam is optional and will minimally replace your lowest hourly exam grade (i.e., best 3 of 4).
Exam Format
Open notes: No cell phone or unauthorized Internet access during quizzes. No makeup exams
except for verifiable medical or UF travel reasons.
