Course description

This course covers the concepts, theories and methodologies of digital signal processing. Topics include discrete signals and systems, Z-transform, discrete Fourier analysis; digital filter design; sampling; multi-rate digital signal processing; and multi-dimensional digital signal processing.

Course outline

  1. Discrete Signals and Systems, Z-transform, and Discrete Fourier Analysis

    Discrete signals and systems; Z-transform; stability and causality; discrete Fourier series (DFS) and transform (DFT); fast Fourier transform (FFT); discrete-time Fourier transform (DTFT).

  2. Digital Filter Design

    Finite impulse response (FIR) filter design; infinite impulse response (IIR) filter design.

  3. Sampling

    Bandlimited signals and Shannon’s sampling theorem; generalized sampling theory.

  4. Multi-rate Digital Signal Processing

    Discrete sampling rate conversion; narrowband and short time Fourier transform and analysis; spectrogram; analysis-synthesis filter banks and multi-resolution analysis.

  5. Multi-dimensional Digital Signal Processing

    Multi-dimensional DFT and FFT; multi-dimensional filter design; multi-dimensional general sampling lattice.

Required inclusions

  • Academic integrity: In order to maintain a culture of academic integrity, members of the University of Waterloo community are expected to promote honesty, trust, fairness, respect and responsibility.
  • Grievance: A student who believes that a decision affecting some aspect of his/her university life has been unfair or unreasonable may have grounds for initiating a grievance. Read Policy 70, Student Petitions and Grievances, Section 4. When in doubt please be certain to contact the department’s administrative assistant who will provide further assistance.
  • Discipline: A student is expected to know what constitutes academic integrity to avoid committing an academic offence, and to take responsibility for his/her actions. A student who is unsure whether an action constitutes an offence, or who needs help in learning how to avoid offences (e.g., plagiarism, cheating) or about “rules” for group work/collaboration should seek guidance from the course instructor, academic advisor, or the undergraduate Associate Dean. For information on categories of offences and types of penalties, students should refer to Policy 71, Student Discipline. For typical penalties check Guidelines for the Assessment of Penalties.
  • Appeals: A decision made or penalty imposed under Policy 70 (Student Petitions and Grievances) (other than a petition) or Policy 71 (Student Discipline) may be appealed if there is a ground. A student who believes he/she has a ground for an appeal should refer to Policy 72 (Student Appeals).
  • Note for students with disabilities: The AccessAbility Services, located in Needles Hall, Room 1132, collaborates with all academic departments to arrange appropriate accommodations for students with disabilities without compromising the academic integrity of the curriculum. If you require academic accommodations to lessen the impact of your disability, please register with the AccessAbility Services at the beginning of each academic term.
