Digital Signal Processing - Design Guide

From Frequency Devices, Inc.
 

 

Based on combining ever increasing computer processing speed with higher sample rate processors, Digital Signal Processors (DSP’s) continue to receive a great deal of attention in technical literature and new product design. The following section on digital filter design reflects the importance of understanding and utilizing this technology to provide precision stand alone digital or integrated analog/digital product solutions.

By utilizing DSP’s capable of sequencing and reproducing hundreds to thousands of discrete elements, design models can simulate large hardware structures at relatively low cost. DSP techniques can perform functions such as Fast-Fourier Transforms (FFT), delay equalization, programmable gain, modulation, encoding/decoding, and filtering.


Products & Services
Digital signal processors (DSPs) are specialized microprocessors designed specifically for digital signal processing, usually in real-time. DSPs can also be used to perform general-purpose computations, but are not optimized for this function. Search by Specification | Learn more about Digital Signal Processors (DSP)
