Advanced Digital Signal Processing (102H6)

15 credits, Level 7 (Masters)

Autumn teaching

This module covers the theory and applications of digital signal processing.

You’ll study:

  • the revision of linear systems theory, discretisation, Fourier, Laplace, and z-transforms
  • the relationship between z and s planes, stability, poles and zero locations
  • a detailed discussion of the system response, convolution and correlation functions
  • design methods for finite impulse response (FIR) and infinite impulse response (IIR) digital filters
  • the discrete and fast Fourier transform algorithm
  • two-dimensional filtering for image and video processing along with the discrete cosine transforms for image compression.

Lectures are supported by laboratory sessions in which the filtering techniques are implemented on DSP hardware, coding in both C and Matlab.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We鈥檙e planning to run these modules in the academic year 2026/27. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We鈥檒l make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
