Analog signal

processing
o Amplification of microphone output o Filtering 50
Hz interference from power line in ECG signal o
Modulating a carrier with an audio signal
(multiplication) o Storing music on a magnetic tape
as against this in digital it is stored in memory 30
Why digital signal processing? o Complexity and
accuracy can be greatly improved if signals are
processed in their digital coded form o DSP leads to
great reduction in cost, size, reliability and
efficiency o Analog signals are encoded into digital
form using analog-to-digital converter o Powerful
digital signal processing (DSP) devices are
currently available

Design of analog circuits and systems requires

performing: o signal processing functions including,
amplification, addition, subtraction, integration,
comparison, filtering and multiplication o signal
generation o interfacing including sample and hold,
A/D conversion and D/A conversion o power supply
