Basic operations on signal sequences – Addition

by

Key focus: How to implement the basic addition operation on two discrete time signal sequences. Python code for signal addition is provided. Signal addition Given two discrete-time sequences \(x_1[n]\) and \(x_2[n]\), the addition of these two sequences is represented as \(x_1[n]+ x_2[n]\). The start of the sample at \(n=0\) can be different for these two … Read more

Real-valued exponential sequence

by

In digital signal processing, we utilize various elementary sequences for the purpose of analysis. In this series, we will see such sequences. One such elementary sequence is the real-valued exponential sequence. (see the articles on unit sample sequence, unit step sequence, complex exponential sequence) An exponential sequence in signals and systems is a discrete-time sequence … Read more

Design FIR filter to reject unwanted frequencies

by

Let’s see how to design a simple digital FIR filter to reject unwanted frequencies in an incoming signal. As a per-requisite, I urge you to read through this post: Introduction to digital filter design Background on transfer function The transfer function of a system provides the underlying support for ascertaining vital system response characteristics without … Read more

Digital filter design – Introduction

by

Key focus: Develop basic understanding of digital filter design. Learn about fundamentals of FIR and IIR filters and the design choices. Analog filters and digital filters are the two major classification of filters, depending on the type of signal signal they process. An analog filter, processes continuous-time signal analog signals. Whereas, digital filters process sampled, … Read more
