This unit introduces and develops the fundamental concepts of discrete-time systems for engineering. Digital Signal Processing (DSP) is concerned with the infrastructure of multimedia, and this unit will provide the tools for developing and implementing that infrastructure.
This unit may be cotaught with 10003 Digital Signal Processing.

This unit is co-taught with Digital Signal Processing, 10003.

Learning outcomes

On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:
1. Have an advanced understanding of the fundamentals of Digital Signal Processing;
2.Apply their understanding of discrete time signals and sampling theory;
3. Design and implement finite and infinite impulse response filters;
4. Apply low-pass, bandpass, and high-pass filters to practical, real-world problems;
5. Interpret and convert sample rates and average signals;
6. Demonstrate and apply an understanding of the concepts of spectrum analysis of periodic and non-periodic signals;
7. Demonstrate an advanced ability to analyse signals using the Laplace transform, z-transform and the discrete Fourier transform / fast Fourier transform; and
8. Programmatically apply implementations of these concepts in Matlab.

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

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 first assessment, researach 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 convener reserves the right to question students orally on any of their submitted work.

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.
