Study Notes
Multirate Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
- Multirate DSP involves processing signals at different rates within a digital signal processing system.
- It's used for tasks like signal conversion, filtering, and compression where different sampling rates are needed.
- Down sampling reduces the sampling rate of a signal.
- Up sampling increases the sampling rate of a signal.
- Decimation combines down sampling and low-pass filtering.
- Interpolation combines up sampling and interpolation filtering.
- Applications:
- Digital Communications: adaptive filtering, channel coding.
- Audio and Speech Processing: compression, enhancement.
- Image Processing: resolution enhancement, compression.
Introduction to DSP Processors
- DSP processors are specialized microprocessors designed for efficient digital signal processing.
- They are optimized for operations like multiply-accumulate (MAC), filtering, and handling large amounts of data in real-time.
- Key Features:
- MAC Units: Efficient support for multiply-accumulate operations.
- Data Handling: Specialized data buses and memory architectures for fast data throughput.
- Instruction Set: Includes instructions tailored for DSP operations like FFT, FIR filters.

- Biomedical: Imaging, patient monitoring.
Decimation by a Factor D
- Decimation by a factor D reduces the sampling rate of a signal by a factor of D.
- The process involves selecting every Dth sample of the original signal.
Interpolation by a Factor I
- Interpolation by a factor I increases the sampling rate of a signal by a factor of I.
- This process involves estimating new data points between the existing ones.
- Methods:
- Linear Interpolation: Simple, connects data points with straight lines.
- Polynomial Interpolation: Uses higher-order polynomials to fit data points more closely.
- Spline Interpolation: Utilizes piecewise polynomial functions for smoother interpolation.
Sampling Rate Conversion by a Rational Factor I/D
- This technique combines both interpolation (factor I) and decimation (factor D) to achieve a rational sampling rate change.
- The process involves first interpolating the signal by a factor of I and then decimating the resulting signal by a factor of D.
Filter Design & Implementation for Sampling Rate Conversion
- Determine Requirements:
- Input and Output Sampling Rates (fs and fs').
- Filter Type: FIR or IIR (FIR is generally preferred for sampling rate conversion).
- Filter Characteristics: passband ripple, stopband attenuation, transition band width.
- Choose Sampling Rate Conversion Method:
- Upsampling or Downsampling or a combination of both.
- Determine the interpolation and decimation factors.
- Filter Design:
- FIR Filter: Design using windowing methods (Hamming, Kaiser), frequency sampling, or Parks-McClellan algorithm (Remez exchange).
- IIR Filter: Use techniques like Butterworth, Chebyshev, or Elliptic filters. Note that IIR filters can introduce phase distortion.
- Implementation:
- FIR Filter Implementation: Direct form, transposed form, or efficient structures like FFT-based methods (overlap-add, overlap-save).
- IIR Filter Implementation: Direct form, cascade form, or state-space representation.
- Testing and Validation:
