Course Description
The objective of this course is to understand the fundamental concepts of digital signal processing and
its applications in communication engineering and many other areas such as biomedical engineering,
robotics, power system and so on.

Course Learning Outcomes (CLO/CO):

Students are expected to demonstrate the ability to:

CO1. Explain the basic concepts of signals, signal processing and digital signals;
CO2. Characterize signals and systems in discrete time, explain LTI system and its relation with
digital filter;
CO3. Analyze LTI system and use the concept of convolution to filter signals;
CO4. Explain the properties of the Z-transform and apply Z-transform and inverse Z-transform.
CO5. Apply the discrete-time Fourier transform and the fast Fourier transform;
CO6. Design finite impulse response (FIR) filters to satisfy a desired frequency response and explain
the role of the window function on FIR filters.
CO7. Design infinite impulse response (IIR) filters on the basis of an analogue design;
CO8. Implement a small project by using MATLAB as a filter design tool and writing small
programs in MATLAB to create/use simulated or real signals, analyze them in frequency
domain, process signals to remove noise and enhance signal quality and finally be able to plot
the signals for result analysis.

Course Policy:
1. It is the student’s responsibility to gather information about the assignments and covered topics
during the lectures missed. Regular class attendance is mandatory. Points will be taken off for
missing classes. According to IUB system students must enter the classroom within the first 10
minutes to get the attendance submitted.
2. The date and syllabus of quiz, midterm and final exam is already given here, however,
announcements will be given ahead of time. There is NO provision for make-up exams.

 3. The reading materials for each class will be given prior to that class so that student may have a
cursory look into the materials.
4. Class participation is vital for better understanding of technological issues. Students are invited
to raise questions.
5. Students should take tutorials with the instructor during the office hours. Prior appointment is
required.
6. Students must maintain the IUB code of conduct and ethical guidelines offered by the School of
Engineering & Computer Science.

Assessment and Marks Distribution:

Students will be assessed on the basis of their overall performance in all the exams, class tests,
assignments and class participation. Final numeric reward will be the compilation of:
Attendance/Participation 5%
Homework/Assignment 10%
Project/Viva 10%
Quiz/Class Test 20%
Mid-term Exam 25%
Final Exam 30%
_______________________________________________

Total 100%

[Class attendance is mandatory; failure to do so may deduct the final marks]

Grade Conversion Scheme:

The following chart will be followed for final grading. This can be customized from the
guideline provided by the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

Audit:
Students who are willing to audit the course are welcome during the first two classes and are advised to
contact the instructor after that.

Note:
Plagiarism – that is, the presentation of another person’s thoughts or words as though they were the
student’s own – must be strictly avoided. Cheating and plagiarism on exam and assignments are
unacceptable. University policies shall be strictly enforced in this regard.

University Regulation and Code of Conduct:

Please see the Green Book for further information about academic regulation and policies, including
withdrawal and grading, appeals and penalties for plagiarism and academic misconduct.

Students with Disabilities:

Students with disabilities are required to inform the Department of Electrical and Electronic
Engineering of any specific requirement for classes or examination as soon as possible.
