1. Fundamentals of Digital Signal Processing יהודה אפק, נתן אינטרטור אוניברסיטת תל אביב

2. What is DSP? Converting a continuously changing waveform (analog) into a series of discrete levels (digital) and then performing Digital Computations

3. What is DSP? The analog waveform is sliced into equal segments and the waveform amplitude is measured in the middle of each segment The collection of measurements make up the digital representation of the waveform

4. A/D Parameters 1. Sampling Frequency – The rate at which we convert the analog data into digital 2. Dynamic range – The ratio between the highest to lowest value (which is not zero)

5. What is DSP?

6. Converting Analog into DigitalElectronically The device that does the conversion is called an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) There is a device that converts digital to analog that is called a Digital to Analog Converter (DAC)

7. The simplest form of DAC uses a resistance ladder where the different bits close a gate enabling more current to flow through the resistors and create the corresponding analog voltage. Converting Digital to Analog Electronically

8. The output of the resistance ladder is compared to the analog voltage in a comparator When there is a match, the digital equivalent (switch configuration) is captured Converting Analog into DigitalElectronically

9. Analog to Digital (Ladder Comparison)

10. Converting Analog into DigitalComputationally The binary search is a mathematical technique that uses an initial guess, the expected high, and the expected low in a simple computation to refine a new guess The computation continues until the refined guess matches the actual value (or until the maximum number of calculations is reached) Faster way, start with previous value as the initial guess
