Course Objective:
This course would develop a sound understanding of Digital Signal Processing, its theoretical background as well as
its applications and implementation design. Based on the fundamentals of “Signals and Systems” this course would
elaborate the time domain as well as frequency domain characteristics of discrete time signals and systems. Various
important systems (IIR, FIR filters) and efficient algorithms (FFT, DCT etc) would be introduced to students.
Applications of DSP Processing would also be emphasized in this course. Introduction to DSP architectures would
enable students understand the practical aspects.

Pre-requisite: Introductory course in Linear Signals and Systems

Grading Policy:

1. Lab Work / Project [15/20%]: Final weightage decided depending on workload/level of creativity.
2. Quizzes / Assignments [15/20%]: Quizzes and Assignments: Assignment due date will typically be one to two
weeks based on the workload. Absolutely no late submissions will be allowed. At least four 10/15 minute quizzes
would be scheduled. Assignments may/may not be graded. There would be negative marking for non-
submission/plagiarism. There would be quizzes based on assignments/course material which would be graded to
test level of understanding of material. Quizzes can be un-announced/announced.
3. One Hour Tests [30%]
4. Final Test [35%]. It is mandatory to maintain at least 75% class attendance to sit in the Final Test.
5. Bonus Marks: Given to exceptional creativity/embedded feedback during the course of course.
