Digital Signal Processors (DSP) take real-world signals like voice, audio, video, temperature, pressure, or position that have been digitized and then mathematically manipulate them. A DSP is designed for performing mathematical functions like "add", "subtract", "multiply" and "divide" very quickly.
Signals need to be processed so that the information that they contain can be displayed, analyzed, or converted to another type of signal that may be of use. In the real-world, analog products detect signals such as sound, light, temperature or pressure and manipulate them. Converters such as an Analog-to-Digital converter then take the real-world signal and turn it into the digital format of 1's and 0's. From here, the DSP takes over by capturing the digitized information and processing it. It then feeds the digitized information back for use in the real world. It does this in one of two ways, either digitally or in an analog format by going through a Digital-to-Analog converter. All of this occurs at very high speeds.
DSP Lab of SPIT is well equipped with various DSP boards and have a systematic arrangement of experiments. It gave a great learning experience.
I heard Sardar Patel Institute of Technology is in the top 100 colleges of India!
ReplyDeleteDSP has a great scope in the real world, try to apply for jobs in this field if you're really interested!
ReplyDeleteJTAG cable was used to interface DSP processor and the computer rather than USBASP cable as JTAG allowed the user to check the values of the register of DSP processor in intermediate stages rather than just at the end which helps in debugging.
ReplyDeleteGreat that your college has a dedicated subject of DSP
ReplyDeleteVery informative work!
