With a programming based approach, this course is designed to give you a solid foundation in the most useful aspects of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) in an engaging and easy to follow way. The goal of this course is to present practical techniques while avoiding  obstacles of abstract mathematical theories. To achieve this goal, the DSP techniques are explained in plain language and computer code, not simply proven to be true through mathematical derivations.

Still keeping it simple, this course comes in different programming languages and hardware architectures so that students can put the techniques to practice using a programming language or hardware architecture  of their choice. This version of the course uses the Java programming language.

With each dsp topic we shall develop two versions of the same algorithm. One version shall be focused on code readable and the other version shall focus on robustness and execution speed- we shall employ programming techniques such loop unrolling and Multiply- Accumulate (MAC) to accomplish this.

By the end of this course you should be able build a complete DSP library in java, develop the Convolution Kernel algorithm in Java, develop the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) algorithm in Java, develop the Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform (IDFT) algorithm in Java, design and develop Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters in Java, design and develop Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filters in Java, develop Windowed-Sinc filters in Java, build Modified Sallen-Key filters,  build Bessel, Chebyshev and Butterworth filters, develop the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm in  Java, even give a lecture on DSP and so much more.
