Overview
This course provides a good understanding of DSP principles and their implementation and equips the delegate to put the ideas into practice and/or to tackle more advanced aspects of DSP. 'Hands-on' laboratory sessions are interspersed with the lectures to illustrate the taught material and allow you to pursue your own areas of interest in DSP. The hands-on sessions use specially written software running on PCs.
In the first session you will simulate signals and systems in both the time and frequency domains and work through illustrations of basic DSP functions. This will be followed by practical experiments with audio inputs and outputs and you will conduct experiments with external equipment to explore the real time capability of DSP.
Note that there is a one-day optional supplement to this course - DSP Implementation.
All delegates will receive a copy of the latest edition of "Digital Signal Processing: Concepts and Applications" by Mulgrew, Grant & Thompson (Palgrave Macmillan).
Please send me details about future Digital Signal Processing courses.
Description
Benefits
- A comprehensive grounding in DSP concepts and algorithms plus practical information on the design and implementation of DSP systems.
- Gives a good understanding of DSP principles and their implementation and equips the delegate to put the ideas into practice and/or to tackle more advanced aspects of DSP
- The theoretical knowledge is illustrated by application examples, by demonstrations and by work in the laboratory.
- Limited numbers of delegates to ensure full advantage of laboratory practice.
- There are three 'hands-on' laboratory sessions, shown in the image below, interspersed with the lectures which are designed to illustrate the taught material and allow you to pursue your own areas of interest in DSP.
Programme details
Test and measurement equipment for this course is supplied by Agilent Technologies.

Certification
Sample certificate
.Participants who satisfy the course requirements will receive a Certificate of Attendance. The pdf sample above is an illustration only, and the wording will reflect the course and dates attended.
Level and demands
Graduate level engineers and computer scientists who have limited experience with, and/or limited knowledge of DSP. Although a reasonable competence in mathematics will be helpful it is not essential and all the basic theory will be covered from scratch. This course is an ideal "refresher course" for those who have previously studied DSP.
Accommodation
Accommodation is available at the Rewley House Residential Centre, within the Department for Continuing Education, in central Oxford. The comfortable, en-suite, study-bedrooms are rated 3-star, and come with free high-speed internet access and TV. Guests can take advantage of the excellent dining facilities and common room bar, where they may relax and network with others on the programme.
Payment
Fees include course materials, tuition, refreshments and lunches. The price does not include accommodation.
All courses are VAT exempt.
