Program Overview

This combined theory and practice course provides an introduction to the principles of digital signal processing including the areas of discrete-time spectral analysis and adaptive signal processing. The course begins with an introduction to discrete-time signals and systems and continues with a lecture on digital filters, the FFT, random signal processing, direct and parametric methods for digital spectral analysis, linear prediction, and adaptive LMS algorithms. Computer experiments using a DSP software package on the PC will give participants the opportunity to generate, process, and analyze signals. Each participant will get a set of notes for the class sessions, and a copy of the DSP educational software package for the laboratory (experimental) portion.

Course objectives

Students will achieve the following learning outcomes;

  • digital filter design methods and filter many applications including audio coding, channel equalization
  • the principles of spectral estimation methods including FFT-based methods and linear prediction
  • the essentials of adaptive filtering and its applications to noise and echo cancellation as well as smart antennas
  • using the PC to design and implement digital filters as well analyze and process real-life signals
Who Should Attend

The course is designed for engineers and managers who need to understand the fundamental theory and applications of DSP. The course should be of particular interest to engineers who need to prepare for projects that involve DSP hardware and software. Participants should have an understanding of basic engineering mathematics. Familiarity with an IBM PC compatible though not mandatory it will be beneficial. Individuals may want to take both courses to obtain a broader perspective on signal and speech processing.

Instructors

Dr. Andreas Spanias

Dr. Andreas Spanias is Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering Fulton School of Engineering at Arizona State University (ASU). His research interests are in the areas of adaptive signal processing and speech processing. While at ASU, he has developed and taught courses in DSP, adaptive signal processing, and speech coding. He has also developed and taught continuing education short courses and web courses in digital signal processing and speech coding. Andreas Spanias has been the principal investigator on research contracts from Intel Corporation, Sandia National Labs, Motorola Inc., and Active Noise and Vibration Technologies.

He has also consulted with Inter-Tel Communications, Intel Corporation, Motorola, Texas Instruments, DTC, and the Cyprus Institute of Neurology and Genetics. In his work with Intel Corporation he contributed to the development of architectures with signal processing capabilities and received an award from Intel-Chandler for "his leadership and contributions to the development of the Intel 60172 processor architecture" and a corporate award by the Intel NDTC committee for his support of the Intel research program.

He recently published refereed papers in Perceptual Coding of Digital Speech and Audio, Adaptive Beamforming, Genomic Signal Processing, and DSP Java tools. He and his student team developed the computer simulation software Java-DSP (J-DSP - ISBN 0-9724984-0-0) which is used in the ASU DSP courses. He received the 2003 teaching award from the IEEE Phoenix section for the development of J-DSP. Andreas Spanias is associate director of the ASU Arts, Media, and Engineering (AME) center where he heads a program on sound localization for smart stages using microphone arrays. He is involved extensively in IEEE scientific activities.

He is member of the DSP Committee of the IEEE Circuits and Systems society, and has served as a member in the technical committee on Statistical Signal and Array Processing of the IEEE Signal Processing society (SPS). He has also served as Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing and as General Co-chair of the 1999 International Conference on Acoustics Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP-99) in Phoenix. He served as the IEEE Signal Processing Vice-President for Conferences and the Chair of the Conference Board. He served as a member of the IEEE Signal Processing Executive Committee and as Associate Editor of the IEEE Signal Processing Letters.
