 DSP
 Digital vs. Analog
 Importance of DSP
 Role of DSP in BSP
 Applications
 ADC
Digital Signal Processing:

 Analog to digital

 Definition:
A process where we convert continuous wave form into digital
means.
 Why DSP ..?

 Why Digital signals Digital systems Digital processing?

 Digital (Signals, Analog(Signal &
System) system)
Storage is good Can’t store properly
(easily stored on disk as
like magnetic media
etc..)
Digital Signal Can handle Difficult to handle
system vs. sophisticated
Algorithms
Analog Signal Processing is more Not that much efficient
and system reliable
Multiple task Specific Task
Less complex circuitry Complex
Confined circuitry Transistors, Inductors,
etc.
Greater power Less power consumption
consumption
Stored and Processes Complex
easily
Role of DSP in Biomedical
Engineering..

 So far technology become more faster and advanced as we use

advanced devices where we process the signals by digital
means.
 Real time processing and at faster rate
 Robust against the noise
 Storage of Diagnosed images and their retrievals.
 Key features of DSP:

 Versatile:
Program and re-program
 Easy to Built up:
simple and easy to built up digital hardware.
 Easily Transmit:
remote processing
 Up gradation is possible (by means of software.
Key features of DSP:

 Compatible:
being like standard hardware where we can use a specific
hardware but it provide compatibility by means of software,
 Algorithms:
can be easily implemented
 Accuracy:
more accuracy as compare to analog, though it has less noise
and distortions.
(cause of distortion is circuitry)
 Cheaper
Limitations:

 System complex in terms of conversion as ADC to DAC

 Band width Limitation
 Power consumption
