Study Notes
Introduction to Digital Signal Processing
- Digital hardware offers greater flexibility and precision compared with analog counterparts.
- This has led to an explosive growth in digital signal processing theory and applications over the past few decades.
Converting Analog Signals to Digital
- Converting analog signals to digital form involves sampling and quantizing the values of the signal.
- These processes result in distortion of the original signal, which can be controlled by proper choice of sampling rate and quantization precision.
- The emphasis is on analyzing and designing digital signal processing systems and computational techniques.
Signals, Systems, and Signal Processing
- A signal is any physical quantity that varies with time, space, or any other independent variable.
- Signals can be described mathematically as functions.
- Certain types of signals, such as speech signals, lack a simple functional representation and are best described as a combination of sinusoids.
Digital Signal Characteristics
- Signals that are discrete in time and have a set of discrete values are called digital signals.
- Analog signals are converted to digital signals through sampling at discrete time instants and quantizing the values to a discrete set.
- Quantization is an approximation process achieved through rounding or truncation, where a continuous value is rounded to the nearest allowable discrete value.
Deterministic and Random Signals
- A signal that can be uniquely described mathematically through an explicit expression, table of data, or well-defined rule is considered deterministic.
- Random signals cannot be described uniquely by such methods and require statistical analysis.
Sampling and Aliasing
- Sampling an analog signal at a rate less than twice the highest frequency component in the signal (Nyquist rate) leads to aliasing, where high-frequency components appear as lower frequencies in the sampled signal.
- Aliasing can be avoided by sampling at a rate higher than the Nyquist rate.
- Aliasing is exploited in some applications, like stroboscopes and sampling oscilloscopes, to enable viewing high frequencies as lower frequencies.
Passband Sampling Theorem
- The passband sampling theorem states that a narrowband signal can be sampled at a rate greater than twice its bandwidth, even if this rate is less than twice the highest frequency component.
- This form of sampling is distinct from the Nyquist-rate sampling theorem and offers advantages for narrowband signals.
