Introduction to Digital Signal Processing

Signal (flow of information):
Signal is defined as any physical quantity that varies with Time, Space, or any other
independent variables. For Example:
 Measured quantity that varies with time (or position).
 Electrical signal received from a transducer (Microphone, Thermometer, Accelerometer,
Antenna, etc.)
 Electrical signal that controls a process.
Example:
A. Continuous-Time Signal or Analog Signal:

The analog signal is defined for every value of time and they take on values in the
continuous interval as shown in Fig. 1.
Fig. 1. Continuous or analog signal
 Continuous in time.
 Amplitude may take on any value in the continuous range of (-∞,∞).
 Analog Processing
 Differentiation, Integration, Filtering, Amplification.
 Differential Equations
 Implemented via passive or active electronic circuitry.
B. Discrete-Time signals:
Discrete signals are defined only at certain specific value of time as shown in Fig. 2.

 Continuous in amplitude but discrete in time.

 Only defined for certain time instances.
 Can be obtained from analog signals via sampling.
C. Digital Signal:
Digital signal is the signal that takes on values from a finite set of possible values as
shown in Fig. 3.
Fig. 3. Digital signal with four different amplitude values
 Discrete in amplitude & discrete in time.

 Can be obtained from discrete signals via quantization.
Finite and infinite length signal:

Finite length signal is nonzero over a finite interval t min< t< tmax as shown in Fig. 4.
Fig. 4. Finite length signal
In contrast, the infinite length signal is nonzero over all real numbers.
What is signal processing?

Signals may have to be transformed in order to
 Amplify or filter out embedded information.
 Detect patterns.
 Prepare the signal to survive a transmission channel.
 Undo distortions contributed by a transmission channel.
 Compensate for sensor deficiencies.
 Find information encoded in a different domain.

Limitations of analog signal processing:

 Accuracy limitations due to
 Component tolerances

 Temperature
 Vibration
 Sensitivity to electrical noise
 Limited dynamic range for voltage and currents

Digital signal processing (DSP) system:

Digital signal processing (DSP) is one of the most powerful technologies that will
shape science and engineering in the twenty-first century. Revolutionary changes have already
been made in aboard range of fields: communications, radar and sensor. DSP converts signals
that naturally accrue in analog form (such as sound, video and information from sensors) to
digital form and uses digital techniques to enhance and modify analog signal data for various
applications. Fig. 7 shows a basic block diagram of a typical digital signal processing system.
Fig. 7. A typical digital signal processing (DSP) system
The system consists of an analog filter, an analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) unit, a

digital signal processor (DSP), a digital-to-analog conversion (DAC) unit, and a
reconstruction (anti-image) filter.
As shown in the diagram, the analog input signal, which is continuous in time and
amplitude, is generally encountered in our real life. Examples of such analog signals include
current, voltage, temperature, pressure, and light intensity. Usually a transducer (sensor) is
used to convert the non-electrical signal to the analog electrical signal (voltage). This analog
signal is fed to an analog filter, which is applied to limit the frequency range of analog signals
prior to the sampling process. The purpose of filtering is to significantly attenuate aliasing
distortion.
The band-limited signal at the output of the analog filter is then sampled and converted
via the ADC unit into the digital signal, which is discrete both in time and in amplitude.
The DSP then accepts the digital signal and processes the digital data according to
DSP rules such as lowpass, highpass, and bandpass digital filtering, or other algorithms for
different applications. Notice that the DSP unit is a special type of digital computer and can be
a general-purpose digital computer, a microprocessor, or an advanced microcontroller;
furthermore, DSP rules can be implemented using software in general. With the DSP and
4
corresponding software, a processed digital output signal is generated. This signal behaves in a
manner according to the specific algorithm used.
The DAC unit converts the processed digital signal to an analog output signal. The
signal is continuous in time and discrete in amplitude (usually a sample-and-hold signal).
The final stage in Fig. 7 is often another analog filter designated as a function to
smooth the DAC output voltage levels back to the analog signal (i.e. to reconstruct the analog
signal from the DAC output).
In contrast to the above, a direct analog processing of analog signals is much simpler
since it involves only a signal processor. It is therefore natural to ask why we go to use the
DSP systems. There are several good reasons:
1- Rapid advances in integrated circuit design and manufacture are producing more
powerful DSP systems on a single chip at decreasing size and cost.
2- Digital processing is inherently stable and reliable.
3- Good processing techniques are available for digital signals, such as Data compression
(or source coding), Error Correction (or channel coding), Equalization and Security.
4- Easy to mix signals and data using digital techniques known as Time Division
Multiplexing (TDM).
5- It is easy to Change, Correct, or Update applications (software changes), such as-that

needed in implementing adaptive circuits.
6- Sensitivity to electrical noise is minimal.
7- Digital information can be encrypted for security.
The list below by no means covers all DSP applications. Many more areas are
increasingly being explored by engineers and scientists. Applications of DSP techniques will
continue to have profound impacts and improve our lives.
1- Digital audio and speech: Digital audio coding such as CD players, digital crossover,
digital audio equalizers, digital stereo and surround sound, noise reduction systems,
speech coding, data compression and encryption, speech synthesis and speech
recognition.
2- Digital telephone: Speech recognition, high-speed modems, echo cancellation, speech

synthesizers, DTMF (dual-tone multi frequency) generation and detection, answering
machines.

3- Automobile industry: GPS, Active Noise Cancellation, Cruise Control, Parking.
4- Electronic communications: Cellular phones, digital telecommunications, wireless LAN

(local area networking), satellite communications.
5- Medical imaging equipment: ECG analyzers, cardiac monitoring, medical imaging and
image recognition, digital x-rays, image processing, magnetic resonance, tomography
and electrocardiogram.
6- Multimedia : Internet phones, audio, and video, hard disk drive electronics, digital
pictures, digital cameras, DVD, JPEG, Movie special effects, video conferencing, text-
to-voice and voice-to-text technologies.
7- Military: Radar, sonar, space photographs, remote sensing.
8- Mechanical: Motor control, process control, oil and mineral prospecting.
