Learning outcomes
On successful completion of the unit, students will be able to:1. Explain the fundamental theories of digital signal processing;
2. Design and implement finite and infinite impulse response filters;
3. Construct low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass filters to solve signal processing problems;
4. Apply the concepts of spectrum analysis to periodic and non-periodic signals;
5. Explain Laplace transform, z-transform and discrete Fourier transform and their application in signal analysis; and
6. Develop digital signal processing systems using contemporary software and hardware techniques.

Required texts
We will not follow any text book chapter by chapter. The books mentioned below are for reference and further reading to develop a thorough understanding of the material.
Digital Signal Processing by Oppenheim, Alan V., and Ronald W. Schafer. Prentice Hall, 1975. ISBN: 9780132146357.
DSP First: A Multimedia Approach by James H. McClellan, Ronald W. Schafer, Mark A. Yoder
Signal Processing for Communications by Paolo Prandoni and Martin Vetterli
Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
All the assessments will need to adhere to a particular format as specified on the unit's Canvas site and submitted electronically via Canvas.
Detailed rubrics will be provided for each assessment.
Special assessment requirements
To obtain a particular grade in this unit, it is necessary that there are no outstanding submissions at the end of week 14. The unit convener reserves the right to question students orally on any of their submitted work.
In order to pass this unit, students need to:
1- Submit all three main assessment items: first assessment, research paper, and final assessment.
and
2- Achieve minimum 50% of combined weighted marks of all assessment items
and
3- Achieve Minimum 50% of the final assessment.
All assessment items will receive a numerical mark. The final grade will be determined as a weighted average of the individual assessment items.
To be awarded a particular grade in DSP, students must meet the overall requirements, individual requirements for each assessment item set out in the table below. All grades are conditional upon the following minimum requirements:
| Grade |
All assessment |
| Pass |
Minimum 50% of combined weighted marks of all assessment items |
| Credit |
Minimum 65% of combined weighted marks of all assessment items |
| Distinction |
Minimum 75% of combined weighted marks of all assessment items |
| High Distinction |
Minimum 85% of combined weighted marks of all assessment items |
The unit convenor reserves the right to question students on any of their submitted work for moderation and academic integrity purposes, which may result in an adjustment to the marks awarded for a specific task.
Academic integrity
Students have a responsibility to uphold University standards on ethical scholarship. Good scholarship involves building on the work of others and use of others' work must be acknowledged with proper attribution made. Cheating, plagiarism, and falsification of data are dishonest practices that contravene academic values. Refer to the University's Student Charter for more information.
To enhance understanding of academic integrity, all students are expected to complete the Academic Integrity Module (AIM) at least once during their course of study. You can access this module within UCLearn (Canvas) through the 'Academic Integrity and Avoiding Plagiarism' link in the Study Help site.
Use of Text-Matching Software
The University of Canberra uses text-matching software to help students and staff reduce plagiarism and improve understanding of academic integrity. The software matches submitted text in student assignments against material from various sources: the internet, published books and journals, and previously submitted student texts.

Participation requirements
To get the most out of unit, students are highly recommended to actively participate in the lectures as well as the tutorials.
Tutorial and Lab Attendance is compulsory and will count towards 5% of the total mark.
Required IT skills
Basic Programming Skills in Matlab, Python, and use of Arduino.
In-unit costs
Students might consider purchasing reference textbooks which can cost $100-$400, depending upon the condition of the book (new, used) and number of reference books.
One of the reference text books is freely available on Canvas.
