1. SIGNALS AND SYSTEM

1.0 PREREQISTING DISCUSSION

A Signal is defined as any physical quantity that changes with time, distance, speed, position, pressure,
temperature or some other quantity. A Signal is physical quantity that consists of many sinusoidal of
different amplitudes and frequencies.
Ex x(t) = 10t
X(t) = 5x2+20xy+30y
A System is a physical device that performs an operations or processing on a signal. Ex Filter or
Amplifier.

1.1 CLASSIFICATION OF SIGNAL PROCESSING

1) ASP (Analog signal Processing) : If the input signal given to the system is analog then system does
analog signal processing. Ex Resistor, capacitor or Inductor, OP-AMP etc.

Analog ANALOG Analog

Input SYSTEM Output

2) DSP (Digital signal Processing) : If the input signal given to the system is digital then system does
digital signal processing. Ex Digital Computer, Digital Logic Circuits etc. The devices called as ADC
(analog to digital Converter) converts Analog signal into digital and DAC (Digital to Analog Converter)
does vice-versa.

Analog ADC DIGITAL DAC Analog

M.I.E.T 7 DEPT OF ECE

EE6403 DISCRETE TIME SYSTEMS & SIGNAL PROCESSING

Most of the signals generated are analog in nature. Hence these signals are converted to digital form by
the analog to digital converter. Thus AD Converter generates an array of samples and gives it to the
digital signal processor. This array of samples or sequence of samples is the digital equivalent of input
analog signal. The DSP performs signal processing operations like filtering, multiplication,
transformation or amplification etc operations over this digital signals. The digital output signal from the
DSP is given to the DAC.

1.1.1 ADVANTAGES OF DSP OVER ASP

1. Physical size of analog systems are quite large while digital processors are more compact and light
in weight.
2. Analog systems are less accurate because of component tolerance ex R, L, C and active components.
Digital components are less sensitive to the environmental changes, noise and disturbances.
3. Digital system are most flexible as software programs & control programs can be easily modified.
4. Digital signal can be stores on digital hard disk, floppy disk or magnetic tapes. Hence becomes
transportable. Thus easy and lasting storage capacity.
5. Digital processing can be done offline.
6. Mathematical signal processing algorithm can be routinely implemented on digital signal
processing systems. Digital controllers are capable of performing complex computation with
constant accuracy at high speed.
7. Digital signal processing systems are upgradeable since that are software
controlled.
8. Possibility of sharing DSP processor between several
tasks.
9. The cost of microprocessors, controllers and DSP processors are continuously going down. For
some complex control functions, it is not practically feasible to construct analog controllers.
10. Single chip microprocessors, controllers and DSP processors are more versatile and
powerful.

1.1.2 Disadvantages Of DSP over

ASP
1. Additional complexity (A/D & D/A
Converters)
2. Limit in frequency. High speed AD converters are difficult to achieve in practice. In high
frequency applications DSP are not preferred.

called as Multi-channel signal. Example ECG signals. Multi-channel signal will be the vector sum of
signals generated from multiple sources.

2) Single Dimensional (1-D) and Multi-Dimensional signals (M-

If signal is a function of one independent variable it is called as single dimensional signal like
speech

then by quantizing its values to a set of discrete values & thus generating DISCRETE AMPLITUDE
signals. Sampling process takes place on x axis at regular intervals & quantization process takes
place along y axis. Quantization process is also called as rounding or truncating or approximation
process.

7) Periodic signal and Non-Periodic signal

The signal x(n) is said to be periodic if x(n+N)= x(n) for all n where N is the fundamental
period of the signal. If the signal does not satisfy above property called as Non-Periodic signals.
Discrete time signal is periodic if its frequency can be expressed as a ratio of two integers. f= k/N
where k is integer constant.

Tutorial problems:
a) cos (0.01 ∏ n) Periodic N=200 samples per cycle.

8) Symmetrical(Even) and Anti-Symmetrical(odd) signal

A signal is called as symmetrical(even) if x(n) = x(-n) and if x(-n) = -x(n) then signal is odd. X1(n)=
cos(ωn) and x2(n)= sin(ωn) are good examples of even & odd signals respectively. Every discrete
signal can be represented in terms of even & odd signals.

b) Find out the even and odd parts of the discrete signal x(n)={2,2,2,2}

9) Energy signal and Power signal

Discrete time signals are also classified as finite energy or finite average power signals.
The energy of a discrete time signal x(n) is given by

The average power for a discrete time signal x(n) is defined as

1 ∞
𝑃 = lim 𝑁→∞ 2𝑁+1

if Energy is finite and power is zero for x(n) then x(n) is an energy signal. If power is finite and energy is
infinite then x(n) is power signal. There are some signals which are neither energy nor a power signal.

a) Find the power and energy of u(n) unit step function.
b) Find the power and energy of r(n) unit ramp function.
c) Find the power and energy of an u(n).

1.3 DISCRETE TIME SIGNALS AND SYSTEM

There are three ways to represent discrete time signals.
1) Functional Representation

x(n)= -2 for n =2
0 elsewhere
2) Tabular method of representation
n -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5
x(n) 0 0 0 0 4 -2 4 0 0
3) Sequence Representation
X(n) = { 0 , 4 , -2 , 4 , 0 ,……}

n=0

1.4 STANDARD SIGNAL SEQUENCES

1) Unit sample signal (Unit impulse signal)

δ (n) = 1 n=0
0 n=0 i.e δ(n)={1}

2) Unit step signal

u(n) = 1 n≥0
0 n<0

M.I.E.T 12 DEPT OF ECE

EE6403 DISCRETE TIME SYSTEMS & SIGNAL PROCESSING

3) Unit ramp signal

ur (n) = n n≥0
0 n<0
4) Exponential signal
x(n) = a n = (re j Ø ) n = r n e j Ø n = r n (cos Øn + j sin Øn)

4) Sinusoidal waveform
x(n) = A Sin wn

1.5 PROPERTIES OF DISCRETE TIME SIGNALS

1) Shifting : signal x(n) can be shifted in time. We can delay the sequence or advance the sequence.
This is done by replacing integer n by n-k where k is integer. If k is positive signal is delayed in time by
k samples (Arrow get shifted on left hand side) And if k is negative signal is advanced in time k samples
(Arrow get shifted on right hand side)
X(n) = { 1, -1 , 0 , 4 , -2 , 4 , 0 ,……}

n=0
Delayed by 2 samples : X(n-2)= { 1, -1 , 0 , 4 , -2 , 4 , 0 ,……}

n=0
Advanced by 2 samples : X(n+2) = { 1, -1 , 0 , 4 , -2 , 4 , 0 ,……}

n=0
2) Folding / Reflection : It is folding of signal about time origin n=0. In this case replace n by –n.
Original signal:
X(n) = { 1, -1 , 0 , 4 , -2 , 4 , 0}

n=0
Folded signal:
X(-n) = { 0 , 4 , -2 , 4 , 0 , -1 , 1}

n=0
3) Addition : Given signals are x1(n) and x2(n), which produces output y(n) where y(n) = x1(n)+ x2(n).
Adder generates the output sequence which is the sum of input sequences.

4) Scaling: Amplitude scaling can be done by multiplying signal with some constant. Suppose original
signal is x(n). Then output signal is A x(n)

5) Multiplication : The product of two signals is defined as y(n) = x1(n) * x2(n).

2) DIFFERENCE EQUATION

1.9.1 LINEAR CONVOLUTION SUM METHOD

1. This method is powerful analysis tool for studying LSI Systems.
2. In this method we decompose input signal into sum of elementary signal. Now the elementary
input signals are taken into account and individually given to the system. Now using linearity property
whatever output response we get for decomposed input signal, we simply add it & this will provide us
total response of the system to any given input signal.
3. Convolution involves folding, shifting, multiplication and summation operations.
4. If there are M number of samples in x(n) and N number of samples in h(n) then the maximum
number of samples in y(n) is equals to M+n-1.
Linear Convolution states that
y(n) = x(n) * h(n)
∞ ∞

y(n) = ∑ x (k) h(n – k ) = ∑ x (k) h[ -(k-n) ]

k= -∞ k= -∞

METHOD 1: GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION

Step 1) Find the value of n = nx+ nh = -1 (Starting Index of x(n)+ starting index of h(n))

Step 2) y(n)= { y(-1) , y(0) , y(1), y(2), ….} It goes up to length(xn)+ length(yn) -1.

i.e n=-1 y(-1) = x(k) * h(-1-k)

n=0 y(0) = x(k) * h(0-k)
n=1 y(1) = x(k) * h(1-k) ….
ANSWER : y(n) ={1, 4, 8, 8, 3, -2, -1 }

1.9.3 CAUSALITY OF LSI SYSTEM

The output of causal system depends upon the present and past inputs. The output of the causal system
at n= n0 depends only upon inputs x(n) for n≤ n0. The linear convolution is given as
∞

y(n) = ∑ h(k) x(n–k)

k=-∞

At n= n0 ,the output y(n0) will be

∞

y(n0) = ∑ h(k) x(n0–k)

k=-∞

Rearranging the above terms...

∞ -∞

y(n0) = ∑ h(k) x(n0–k) + ∑ h(k) x(n0–k)

k=0 k=-1

The output of causal system at n= n0 depends upon the inputs for n< n0 Hence
h(-1)=h(-2)=h(-3)=0
Thus LSI system is causal if and only if
h(n) =0 for n<0
This is the necessary and sufficient condition for causality of the system.
Linear convolution of the causal LSI system is given by

The absolute values of total sum is always less than or equal to sum of the absolute values of
individually terms. Hence

|y(n)| ≤ ∑ |h(k)| |x(n–k)|

k=-∞

The input x(n) is said to bounded if there exists some finite number M x such that |x(n)| ≤ Mx < ∞.
Hence bounded input x(n) produces bounded output y(n) in the LSI system only if ∞
∑ |h(k)| < ∞

With this condition satisfied, the system will be stable. The above equation states that the LSI system is
stable if its unit sample response is absolutely summable. This is necessary and sufficient condition for
the stability of LSI system.

1.10 CORRELATION:
It is frequently necessary to establish similarity between one set of data and another. It means we
would like to correlate two processes or data. Correlation is closely related to convolution, because the
correlation is essentially convolution of two data sequences in which one of the sequences has been
reversed.

Applications are in
1) Images processing for robotic vision or remote sensing by satellite in which data from
different image is compared
2) In radar and sonar systems for range and position finding in which transmitted and reflected
waveforms are compared.

1.10.1 TYPES OF CORRELATION

Under Correlation there are two classes.
1) CROSS CORRELATION: When the correlation of two different sequences x(n) and y(n) is
performed it is called as Cross correlation. Cross-correlation of x(n) and y(n) is rxy(l) which can
be mathematically expressed as

rxy(l) = ∑ x (n) y(n – l )

n= -∞

OR
∞

rxy(l) = ∑ x (n + l) y(n)
n= -∞

2) AUTO CORRELATION: In Auto-correlation we correlate signal x(n) with itself, which can be
mathematically expressed as

rxx(l) = ∑ x (n) x(n – l )

n= -∞

OR

1.10.2 PROPERTIES OF CORRELATION

1) The cross-correlation is not commutative.
rxy(l) = ryx(-l)
2) The cross-correlation is equivalent to convolution of one sequence with folded version of another
sequence.
rxy(l) = x(l) * y(-l).
3) The autocorrelation sequence is an even function.
rxx(l) = rxx(-l)

Examples:

signal signal signal

1.SAMPLING THEOREM
It is the process of converting continuous time signal into a discrete time signal by taking samples of the
continuous time signal at discrete time instants.

X[n]= Xa(t) where t= nTs = n/Fs ….(1)

When sampling at a rate of fs samples/sec, if k is any positive or negative integer, we cannot distinguish
between the samples values of fa Hz and a sine wave of (fa+ kfs) Hz. Thus (fa + kfs) wave is alias or
image of fa wave.

Thus Sampling Theorem states that if the highest frequency in an analog signal is Fmax and the
signal is sampled at the rate fs > 2Fmax then x(t) can be exactly recovered from its sample values. This
sampling rate is called Nyquist rate of sampling. The imaging or aliasing starts after Fs/2 hence folding
frequency is fs/2. If the frequency is less than or equal to 1/2 it will be represented properly.

Example:
Case 1: X1(t) = cos 2∏ (10) t Fs= 40 Hz i.e t= n/Fs

M.I.E.T 23 DEPT OF ECE

EE6403 DISCRETE TIME SYSTEMS & SIGNAL PROCESSING

x1[n]= cos 2∏(n/4)= cos (∏/2)n

Case 2: X1(t) = cos 2∏ (50) t Fs= 40 Hz i.e t= n/Fs

x1[n]= cos 2∏(5n/4)= cos 2∏( 1+ ¼)n
= cos (∏/2)n

Thus the frequency 50 Hz, 90 Hz , 130 Hz … are alias of the frequency 10 Hz at the sampling rate of 40
samples/sec

2.QUANTIZATION
The process of converting a discrete time continuous amplitude signal into a digital signal by expressing
each sample value as a finite number of digits is called quantization. The error introduced in
representing the continuous values signal by a finite set of discrete value levels is called quantization
error or quantization noise.

Example: x[n] = 5(0.9)n u(n) where 0 <n < ∞ & fs= 1 Hz

N [n] Xq [n] Rounding Xq [n] Truncating eq [n]

0 5 5.0 5.0 0
1 4.5 4.5 4.5 0
2 4.05 4.0 4.0 -0.05
3 3.645 3.6 3.6 -0.045
4 3.2805 3.2 3.3 0.0195

Quantization Step/Resolution : The difference between the two quantization levels is called quantization
step. It is given by Δ = XMax – xMin / L-1 where L indicates Number of quantization levels.

3.CODING/ENCODING
Each quantization level is assigned a unique binary code. In the encoding operation, the quantization
sample value is converted to the binary equivalent of that quantization level. If 16 quantization levels are
present, 4 bits are required. Thus bits required in the coder is the smallest integer greater than or equal to
Log2 L. i.e b= Log2 L
Thus Sampling frequency is calculated as fs=Bit rate / b.

4.ANTI-ALIASING FILTER
When processing the analog signal using DSP system, it is sampled at some rate depending upon the
bandwidth. For example if speech signal is to be processed the frequencies upon 3khz can be used.
Hence the sampling rate of 6khz can be used. But the speech signal also contains some frequency
components more than 3khz. Hence a sampling rate of 6khz will introduce aliasing. Hence signal should
be band limited to avoid aliasing.
The signal can be band limited by passing it through a filter (LPF) which blocks or attenuates all
the frequency components outside the specific bandwidth. Hence called as Anti aliasing filter or pre-
filter. (Block Diagram).

5.SAMPLE-AND-HOLD CIRCUIT:
The sampling of an analogue continuous-time signal is normally implemented using a device called an
analogue-to- digital converter (A/D). The continuous-time signal is first passed through a device called a
sample-and-hold (S/H) whose function is to measure the input signal value at the clock instant and hold

M.I.E.T 24 DEPT OF ECE

EE6403 DISCRETE TIME SYSTEMS & SIGNAL PROCESSING

it fixed for a time interval long enough for the A/D operation to complete. Analogue-to-digital conversion
is potentially a slow operation, and a variation of the input voltage during the conversion may disrupt the
operation of the converter. The S/H prevents such disruption by keeping the input voltage constant during
the conversion. This is schematically illustrated by Figure.

After a continuous-time signal has been through the A/D converter, the quantized output may differ from
the input value. The maximum possible output value after the quantization process could be up to half the
quantization level q above or q below the ideal output value. This deviation from the ideal output value is
called the quantization error. In order to reduce this effect, we increases the number of bits.

2.0 PREREQISTING DISCUSSION ABOUT Z TRANSFORM

For analysis of continuous time LTI system Laplace transform is used. And for analysis of
discrete time LTI system z transform is used. Z transform is mathematical tool used for conversion of
time domain into frequency domain (z domain) and is a function of the complex valued variable Z. The
z transform of a discrete time signal x(n) denoted by X(z) and given as
∞

X(z) = ∑ x (n) z –n z-Transform.……(1)

n=-∞

Z transform is an infinite power series because summation index varies from -∞ to ∞. But it is useful
for values of z for which sum is finite. The values of z for which f (z) is finite and lie within the region
called as ―region of convergence (ROC).

2.0.1 ADVANTAGES OF Z TRANSFORM

1. The DFT can be determined by evaluating z transform.
2. Z transform is widely used for analysis and synthesis of digital filter.
3. Z transform is used for linear filtering. z transform is also used for finding Linear convolution,
cross-correlation and auto-correlations of sequences.
4. In z transform user can characterize LTI system (stable/unstable, causal/anti- causal) and its
response to various signals by placements of pole and zero plot.

2.0.2 ADVANTAGES OF ROC(REGION OF CONVERGENCE)

1. ROC is going to decide whether system is stable or unstable.
2. ROC decides the type of sequences causal or anti-causal.
3. ROC also decides finite or infinite duration sequences.

2) Time shifting
The Time shifting property states that if

2.2 RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FOURIER TRANSFORM AND Z TRANSFORM.

There is a close relationship between Z transform and Fourier transform. If we replace the complex
variable z by e –jω, then z transform is reduced to Fourier transform.
Z transform of sequence x(n) is given by
∞

X(z) = ∑ x (n) z –n (Definition of z-Transform)

n=-∞

EE6403 DISCRETE TIME SYSTEMS & SIGNAL PROCESSING

Fourier transform of sequence x(n) is given by

∞

X(ω) = ∑ x (n) e –jωn (Definition of Fourier Transform)

n=-∞

Complex variable z is expressed in polar form as Z= rejω where r= |z| and ω is ∟z. Thus we can be
written as
∞

X(z) = ∑ [ x (n) r–n] e–jωn

n=-∞

X(z) jw
z =e = ∑ x (n) e–jωn

n=-∞
jw
X(z) z =e = x(ω) at |z| = unit circle.

Thus, X(z) can be interpreted as Fourier Transform of signal sequence (x(n) r–n). Here r–n grows with n if
r<1 and decays with n if r>1. X(z) converges for |r|= 1. hence Fourier transform may be viewed as Z
transform of the sequence evaluated on unit circle. Thus The relationship between DFT and Z transform
is given by

X(z) z=ej2∏kn = x(k)

The frequency ω=0 is along the positive Re(z) axis and the frequency ∏/2 is along the positive Im(z)
axis. Frequency ∏ is along the negative Re(z) axis and 3∏/2 is along the negative Im(z) axis.

2.3 INVERSE Z TRANSFORM (IZT)

The signal can be converted from time domain into z domain with the help of z transform (ZT). Similar
way the signal can be converted from z domain to time domain with the help of inverse z

1) Partial fraction expansion Method (PFE) / Application of residue theorem
2) Power series expansion Method (PSE)

3. POWER-SERIES EXPANSION METHOD

The z transform of a discrete time signal x(n) is given as
∞

X(z) = ∑ x (n) z –n (1)

n=-∞

Expanding the above terms we have

x(z) = …..+x(-2)Z2+ x(-1)Z+ x(0)+ x(1) Z-1 + x(2) Z2 +….. (2)
This is the expansion of z transform in power series form. Thus sequence x(n) is given as
x(n) ={ ….. ,x(-2),x(-1),x(0),x(1),x(2),…………..}.
Power series can be obtained directly or by long division method.

2.4 POLE –ZERO PLOT

1. X(z) is a rational function, that is a ratio of two polynomials in z -1 or z.
The roots of the denominator or the value of z for which X(z) becomes infinite, defines locations
of the poles. The roots of the numerator or the value of z for which X(z) becomes zero, defines
locations of the zeros.

2. ROC dos not contain any poles of X(z). This is because x(z) becomes infinite at
the locations of the poles. Only poles affect the causality and stability of the system.

3. CASUALTY CRITERIA FOR LSI SYSTEM

LSI system is causal if and only if the ROC the system function is exterior to
the circle. i. e |z| > r. This is the condition for causality of the LSI system in terms of z transform.
(The condition for LSI system to be causal is h(n) = 0 ….. n<0 )

4. STABILITY CRITERIA FOR LSI SYSTEM

Bounded input x(n) produces bounded output y(n) in the LSI system only if
∞
∑ |h(n)| < ∞
n=-∞

With this condition satisfied, the system will be stable. The above equation states that the LSI
system is stable if its unit sample response is absolutely summable. This is necessary and
sufficient condition for the stability of LSI system.

5. If H(z) is evaluated on the unit circle | z-n|=|z|=1.

Hence LSI system is stable if and only if the ROC the system function includes the unit circle. i.e
r < 1. This is the condition for stability of the LSI system in terms of z transform. Thus
For stable system |z| < 1
For unstable system |z| > 1
Marginally stable system |z| = 1

Poles inside unit circle gives stable system. Poles outside unit circle gives unstable system.
Poles on unit circle give marginally stable system.

3.1 PREREQISTING DISCUSSION

Any signal can be decomposed in terms of sinusoidal (or complex exponential) components. Thus
the analysis of signals can be done by transforming time domain signals into frequency domain and
vice-versa. This transformation between time and frequency domain is performed with the help of
Fourier Transform(FT) But still it is not convenient for computation by DSP processors hence Discrete
Fourier Transform(DFT) is used.

Time domain analysis provides some information like amplitude at sampling instant but does not
convey frequency content & power, energy spectrum hence frequency domain analysis is used.

x(n+N) = x(n) for all n then
X(k+N) = X(k) for all k

individual signals.

3. Circular Symmetries of a sequence

A) A sequence is said to be circularly even if it is symmetric about the point zero on the circle. Thus
X(N-n) = x(n)

B) A sequence is said to be circularly odd if it is anti symmetric about the point zero on the circle. Thus
X(N-n) = - x(n)

C) A circularly folded sequence is represented as x((-n))N and given by x((-n))N = x(N-n).

D) Anticlockwise direction gives delayed sequence and clockwise direction gives advance sequence.
Thus delayed or advances sequence x`(n) is related to x(n) by the circular shift.

3.6 APPLICATION OF DFT

1. DFT FOR LINEAR FILTERING

Consider that input sequence x(n) of Length L & impulse response of same system is h(n) having M
samples. Thus y(n) output of the system contains N samples where N=L+M-1. If DFT of y(n) also
contains N samples then only it uniquely represents y(n) in time domain. Multiplication of two DFT‘s is
equivalent to circular convolution of corresponding time domain sequences. But the length of x(n) &
h(n) is less than N. Hence these sequences are appended with zeros to make their length N called as
―Zero padding‖. The N point circular convolution and linear convolution provide the same sequence.
Thus linear convolution can be obtained by circular convolution. Thus linear filtering is provided by
DFT.

When the input data sequence is long then it requires large time to get the output sequence. Hence other
techniques are used to filter long data sequences. Instead of finding the output of complete input
sequence it is broken into small length sequences. The output due to these small length sequences are
computed fast. The outputs due to these small length sequences are fitted one after another to get the
final output response.

METHOD 1: OVERLAP SAVE METHOD OF LINEAR FILTERING

Step 1> In this method L samples of the current segment and M-1 samples of the previous segment
forms the input data block. Thus data block will be

X1(n) ={0,0,0,0,0,………………… ,x(0),x(1),…………….x(L-1)} X2(n)

={x(L-M+1), …………….x(L-1),x(L),x(L+1),,,,,,,,,,,,,x(2L-1)} X3(n)

2. SPECTRUM ANALYSIS USING DFT

DFT of the signal is used for spectrum analysis. DFT can be computed on digital computer or digital
signal processor. The signal to be analyzed is passed through anti-aliasing filter and samples at the rate
of Fs≥ 2 Fmax. Hence highest frequency component is Fs/2.

Frequency spectrum can be plotted by taking N number of samples & L samples of waveforms. The
total frequency range 2∏ is divided into N points. Spectrum is better if we take large value of N & L But
this increases processing time. DFT can be computed quickly using FFT algorithm hence fast processing
can be done. Thus most accurate resolution can be obtained by increasing number of samples.

3.7 FAST FOURIER ALGORITHM (FFT)

1. Large number of the applications such as filtering, correlation analysis, spectrum analysis require
calculation of DFT. But direct computation of DFT require large number of computations and hence
processor remain busy. Hence special algorithms are developed to compute DFT quickly called as Fast
Fourier algorithms (FFT).

3. The radix-2 FFT algorithms are based on divide and conquer approach. In this method, the N-point
DFT is successively decomposed into smaller DFT‘s. Because of this decomposition, the number of
computations are reduced.

1. DECIMATION IN TIME (DITFFT)

There are three properties of twiddle factor WN

1) WNk+N = WNK (Periodicity Property)

2) WNk+N/2 = -WNK (Symmetry Property)
3) WN2= WN/2.

N point sequence x(n) be splitted into two N/2 point data sequences f1(n) and f2(n). f1(n) contains even
numbered samples of x(n) and f2(n) contains odd numbered samples of x(n). This splitted operation is
called decimation. Since it is done on time domain sequence it is called ―Decimation in Time‖. Thus
f1(m)=x(2m) where n=0,1,………….N/2-1
f2(m)=x(2m+1) where n=0,1,………….N/2-1

For Radix-2 algorithm value of N is given as N= 2V

Hence value of v is calculated as

V= log10 N / log10 2

= log2 N

Thus if value of N is 8 then the value of v=3. Thus three stages of decimation. Total number of
butterflies will be Nv/2 = 12.

If value of N is 16 then the value of v=4. Thus four stages of decimation. Total number of butterflies
will be Nv/2 = 32.

Each butterfly operation takes two addition and one multiplication operations. Direct computation
requires N2 multiplication operation & N2 – N addition operations.

MEMORY REQUIREMENTS AND IN PLACE COMPUTATION

a A= a + WNr b

b WNr B= a - WNr b

Fig. BUTTERFLY COMPUTATION

From values a and b new values A and B are computed. Once A and B are computed, there is no need to
store a and b. Thus same memory locations can be used to store A and B where a and b were stored
hence called as In place computation. The advantage of in place computation is that it reduces memory
requirement.

Thus for computation of one butterfly, four memory locations are required for storing two complex
numbers A and B. In every stage there are N/2 butterflies hence total 2N memory locations are required.
2N locations are required for each stage. Since stages are computed successively these memory
locations can be shared. In every stage N/2 twiddle factors are required hence maximum storage
requirements of N point DFT will be (2N + N/2).

BIT REVERSAL

For 8 point DIT DFT input data sequence is written as x(0), x(4), x(2), x(6), x(1), x(5), x(3), x(7) and the
DFT sequence X(k) is in proper order as X(0), X(1), X(2), X(3), X(4), x(5), X(6), x(7). In DIF FFT it is
exactly opposite. This can be obtained by bit reversal method.

3.8 GOERTZEL ALGORITHM

FFT algorithms are used to compute N point DFT for N samples of the sequence x(n). This requires N/2
log2N number of complex multiplications and N log2N complex additions. In some applications DFT is
to be computed only at selected values of frequencies and selected values are less than log2N, then direct
computations of DFT becomes more efficient than FFT. This direct computations of DFT can be
realized through linear filtering of x(n). Such linear filtering for computation of DFT can be
implemented using Goertzel algorithm.

By definition N point DFT is given as

M.I.E.T 59 DEPT OF ECE

EE6403 DISCRETE TIME SYSTEMS & SIGNAL PROCESSING

N-1

X(k) =∑ x (m) WNkm (1)

m=0

Multiplying both sides by WN-kN (which is always equal to 1).

N-1

X(k) =∑ x (m) WNk(N-m) (2)

m=0

Thus for LSI system which has input x(n) and having unit sample response

hk(n)= WN-kn u(n)

X(n) hk(n)= WN-kn u(n) yk(n)

Linear convolution is given by

∞

y(n) = ∑ x (k) h(n – k )

k=- ∞

yk (n) = ∑ x (m) WN-k(n-m) u(n–m) (3)

m=-∞

As x(m) is given for N values

N-1

yk (n) = ∑ x (m) WN-k(n-m) (4)

m=0

The output of LSI system at n=N is given by

yk (n)|n=N = ∑ x (m) WN-k(N-m) (5)

m=-∞

Thus comparing equation (2) and (5),

X(k) = yk(n)| n=N

Thus DFT can be obtained as the output of LSI system at n=N. Such systems can give X(k) at selected
values of k. Thus DFT is computed as linear filtering operations by Goertzel Algorithm.

4.1 PREREQISTING DISCUSSION

To remove or to reduce strength of unwanted signal like noise and to improve the quality of
required signal filtering process is used. To use the channel full bandwidth we mix up two or more
signals on transmission side and on receiver side we would like to separate it out in efficient way. Hence
filters are used. Thus the digital filters are mostly used in

1. Removal of undesirable noise from the desired signals

2. Equalization of communication channels
3. Signal detection in radar, sonar and communication
4. Performing spectral analysis of signals.

Analog and digital filters

In signal processing, the function of a filter is to remove unwanted parts of the signal, such as random
noise, or to extract useful parts of the signal, such as the components lying within a certain frequency
range.
The following block diagram illustrates the basic idea.

There are two main kinds of filter, analog and digital. They are quite different in their physical makeup
and in how they work.
An analog filter uses analog electronic circuits made up from components such as resistors,
capacitors and op amps to produce the required filtering effect. Such filter circuits are widely used in
such applications as noise reduction, video signal enhancement, graphic equalizers in hi-fi systems, and
many other areas.
In analog filters the signal being filtered is an electrical voltage or current which is the direct analogue of
the physical quantity (e.g. a sound or video signal or transducer output) involved.
A digital filter uses a digital processor to perform numerical calculations on sampled values of
the signal. The processor may be a general-purpose computer such as a PC, or a specialized DSP
(Digital Signal Processor) chip.

M.I.E.T 61 DEPT OF ECE

EE6403 DISCRETE TIME SYSTEMS & SIGNAL PROCESSING
The analog input signal must first be sampled and digitized using an ADC (analog to digital
converter). The resulting binary numbers, representing successive sampled values of the input signal, are

M.I.E.T 62 DEPT OF ECE

EE6403 DISCRETE TIME SYSTEMS & SIGNAL PROCESSING

transferred to the processor, which carries out numerical calculations on them. These calculations
typically involve multiplying the input values by constants and adding the products together. If
necessary, the results of these calculations, which now represent sampled values of the filtered signal,
are output through a DAC (digital to analog converter) to convert the signal back to analog form.
In a digital filter, the signal is represented by a sequence of numbers, rather than a voltage or
current.
The following diagram shows the basic setup of such a system.

3. In the encoding operation, the quantization sample value is converted to the binary equivalent of
that quantization level.

FILTER TYPES AND IDEAL FILTER CHARACTERISTIC

Filters are usually classified according to their frequency-domain characteristic as lowpass, highpass,
bandpass and bandstop filters.

5.Multipass Filter
A multipass filter begins with a stopband followed by more than one passband. By default, a multipass
filter in Digital Filter Designer consists of three passbands and four stopbands. The frequencies of the
input signal at the stopbands are attenuated while those at the passbands are passed.
6.Multistop Filter
A multistop filter begins with a passband followed by more than one stopband. By default, a
multistop filter in Digital Filter Designer consists of three passbands and two stopbands.
7.All Pass Filter
An all pass filter is defined as a system that has a constant magnitude response for all frequencies.
|H(ω)| = 1 for 0 ≤ ω < ∏
The simplest example of an all pass filter is a pure delay system with system function
H(z) = Z-k. This is a low pass filter that has a linear phase characteristic.
All Pass filters find application as phase equalizers. When placed in cascade with a system that
has an undesired phase response, a phase equalizers is designed to compensate for the poor phase
characteristic of the system and therefore to produce an overall linear phase response.
IDEAL FILTER CHARACTERISTIC
1. Ideal filters have a constant gain (usually taken as unity gain) passband characteristic and
zero gain in their stop band.
2. Ideal filters have a linear phase characteristic within their passband.
3. Ideal filters also have constant magnitude characteristic.
4. Ideal filters are physically unrealizable.

1) There are M-1 unit delay blocks. One unit delay block requires one memory location.
Hencedirect form structure requires M-1 memory location
2) The multiplication of h(k) and x(n-k) is performed for 0 to M-1 terms. Hence M multiplications
and M-1 additions are required.
3) Direct form structure is often called as transversal or tapped delay line filter.

IIR FILTER DESIGN

1. IMPULSE INVARIANCE
2. BILINEAR TRANSFORMATION
3. BUTTERWORTH APPROXIMATION
4.5 IIR FILTER DESIGN - IMPULSE INVARIANCE METHOD
Impulse Invariance Method is simplest method used for designing IIR Filters.
Important Features of this Method are
1.In impulse variance method, Analog filters are converted into digital filter just by replacing unit
sample response of the digital filter by the sampled version of impulse response of analog filter.
Sampled signal is obtained by putting t=nT hence
h(n) = ha(nT) n=0,1,2. …………
where h(n) is the unit sample response of digital filter and T is sampling interval.
2.But the main disadvantage of this method is that it does not correspond to simple algebraic
mapping of S plane to the Z plane. Thus the mapping from analog frequency to digital frequency is
many to one. The segments
(2k-1)∏/T ≤ Ω ≤ (2k+1) ∏/T of jΩ axis are all mapped on the unit circle ∏≤ω≤∏. This
takes place because of sampling.
3. Frequency aliasing is second disadvantage in this method. Because of frequency aliasing, the
frequency response of the resulting digital filter will not be identical to the original analog frequency
response.
4.Because of these factors, its application is limited to design low frequency filters like LPF or a limited
class of band pass filters.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN Z PLANE AND S PLANE
Z is represented as rejω in polar form and relationship between Z plane and S plane is given as Z=eST
where s= σ + j Ω.
Z= eST (Relationship Between Z plane and S plane)
Z= e (σ + j Ω) T
= eσT . ejΩT
Comparing Z value with the polar form we have.
r= e σ T and ω = Ω T
Here we have three condition

1) If σ = 0 then r=1
2) If σ < 0 then 0 < r < 1
3) If σ > 0 then r> 1
Thus
1) Left side of s-plane is mapped inside the unit circle.
2) Right side of s-plane is mapped outside the unit circle.
3) jΩ axis is in s-plane is mapped on the unit circle.

4.6 IIR FILTER DESIGN - BILINEAR TRANSFORMATION METHOD (BZT)

The method of filter design by impulse invariance suffers from aliasing. Hence in order to overcome this
drawback Bilinear transformation method is designed. In analogue domain frequency axis is an
infinitely long straight line while sampled data z plane it is unit circle radius. The bilinear transformation
is the method of squashing the infinite straight analog frequency axis so that it becomes finite.
Important Features of Bilinear Transform Method are
1. Bilinear transformation method (BZT) is a mapping from analog S plane to digital Z plane. This
conversion maps analog poles to digital poles and analog zeros to digital zeros. Thus all poles and
zeros are mapped.
2. This transformation is basically based on a numerical integration techniques used to simulate an
integrator of analog filter.
3. There is one to one correspondence between continuous time and discrete time frequency points.
Entire range in Ω is mapped only once into the range -∏≤ω≤∏.
4. Frequency relationship is non-linear. Frequency warping or frequency compression is due to non-
linearity. Frequency warping means amplitude response of digital filter is expanded at the lower
frequencies and compressed at the higher frequencies in comparison of the analog filter.

M.I.E.T 76 DEPT OF ECE

EE6403 DISCRETE TIME SYSTEMS & SIGNAL PROCESSING

5. But the main disadvantage of frequency warping is that it does change the shape of the desired filter
frequency response. In particular, it changes the shape of the transition bands.

step 1. Find out the value of ωc*.

ωc* = (2/T) tan (ωc Ts/2)

step 2. Find out the value of frequency scaled analog transfer function
Normalized analog transfer function is frequency scaled by replacing s by s/ωp*.
step 3. Convert into digital filter
Apply BZT. i.e Replace s by the ((z-1)/(z+1)). And find out the desired transfer function of digital
function.
Example:
Q) Design first order high pass butterworth filter whose cutoff frequency is 1 kHz at sampling frequency
of 104 sps. Use BZT Method
Step 1. To find out the cutoff frequency
ωc = 2∏f
= 2000 rad/sec
Step 2. To find the prewarp frequency
ωc* = tan (ωc Ts/2)
= tan(∏/10)
Step 3. Scaling of the transfer function
For First order HPF transfer function H(s) = s/(s+1)
Scaled transfer function H*(s) = H(s) |s=s/ωc*
H*(s)= s/(s + 0.325)

rad/sec. Design digital Notch filter with the following specification
(1) Notch Frequency= 60 Hz
(2) Sampling frequency = 960 sps.

4.7 BUTTERWORTH FILTER APPROXIMATION

The filter passes all frequencies below Ωc. This is called passband of the filter. Also the filter
blocks all the frequencies above Ωc. This is called stopband of the filter. Ωc is called cutoff frequency or
critical frequency.
No Practical filters can provide the ideal characteristic. Hence approximation of the ideal
characteristic are used. Such approximations are standard and used for filter design. Such three
approximations are regularly used.
a) Butterworth Filter Approximation
b) Chebyshev Filter Approximation
c) Elliptic Filter Approximation
Butterworth filters are defined by the property that the magnitude response is maximally flat in
the passband.

This equation gives the pole position of H(s) and H(-s).
FREQUENCY RESPONSE CHARACTERISTIC
The frequency response characteristic of |Ha(Ω)|2 is as shown. As the order of the filter N increases, the
butterworth filter characteristic is more close to the ideal characteristic. Thus at higher orders like N=16
the butterworth filter characteristic closely approximate ideal filter characteristic. Thus an infinite order

4.9 FIR FILTER DESIGN

Features of FIR Filter
1.FIR filter always provides linear phase response. This specifies that the signals in the pass band
will suffer no dispersion Hence when the user wants no phase distortion, then FIR filters are preferable
over IIR. Phase distortion always degrade the system performance. In various applications like
speech processing, data transmission over long distance FIR filters are more preferable due to this
characteristic.
2 FIR filters are most stable as compared with IIR filters due to its non feedback nature.
3.Quantization Noise can be made negligible in FIR filters. Due to this sharp cutoff FIR filters can be
easily designed.
4.Disadvantage of FIR filters is that they need higher ordered for similar magnitude response of IIR
filters.
FIR SYSTEM ARE ALWAYS STABLE. Why?
Proof: Difference equation of FIR filter of length M is given as
M-1
y(n)=∑ bk x(n–k) (1)
M.I.E.T 89 DEPT OF ECE
EE6403 DISCRETE TIME SYSTEMS & SIGNAL PROCESSING

k=0
And the coefficient bk are related to unit sample response as
H(n) = bn for 0 ≤ n ≤ M-1
= 0 otherwise.
We can expand this equation as
Y(n)= b0 x(n) + b1 x(n-1) + …….. + bM-1 x(n-M+1) (2)
System is stable only if system produces bounded output for every bounded input. This is stability
definition for any system.
Here h(n)={b0, b1, b2, } of the FIR filter are stable. Thus y(n) is bounded if input x(n) is bounded. This
means FIR system produces bounded output for every bounded input. Hence FIR systems are always
stable.
Symmetric and Anti-symmetric FIR filters
1. Unit sample response of FIR filters is symmetric if it satisfies following condition
h(n)= h(M-1-n) n=0,1,2…………….M-1
2. Unit sample response of FIR filters is Anti-symmetric if it satisfies following condition
h(n)= -h(M-1-n) n=0,1,2…………….M-1
FIR Filter Design Methods
The various method used for FIR Filer design are as follows
1. Fourier Series method
2. Windowing Method
3. DFT method
4. Frequency sampling Method. (IFT Method)
GIBBS PHENOMENON
Consider the ideal LPF frequency response as shown in Fig 1 with a normalizing angular cut off
frequency Ωc.

Impulse response of an ideal LPF is as shown in Fig 2.

M.I.E.T 90 DEPT OF ECE

EE6403 DISCRETE TIME SYSTEMS & SIGNAL PROCESSING

1.In Fourier series method, limits of summation index is -∞ to ∞. But filter must have finite terms.
Hence limit of summation index change to -Q to Q where Q is some finite integer. But this type of
truncation may result in poor convergence of the series. Abrupt truncation of infinite series is equivalent
to multiplying infinite series with rectangular sequence. i.e at the point of discontinuity some oscillation
may be observed in resultant series.
2. Consider the example of LPF having desired frequency response H d (ω) as shown in figure. The
oscillations or ringing takes place near band-edge of the filter.
3.This oscillation or ringing is generated because of side lobes in the frequency response W(ω) of the
window function. This oscillatory behavior is called "Gibbs Phenomenon".
Truncated response and ringing effect is as shown in fig 3.

WINDOWING TECHNIQUE
Windowing is the quickest method for designing an FIR filter. A windowing function simply
truncates the ideal impulse response to obtain a causal FIR approximation that is non causal and
infinitely long. Smoother window functions provide higher out-of band rejection in the filter response.
However this smoothness comes at the cost of wider stopband transitions.
Various windowing method attempts to minimize the width of the main lobe (peak) of the
frequency response. In addition, it attempts to minimize the side lobes (ripple) of the frequency
response.

M.I.E.T 91 DEPT OF ECE

EE6403 DISCRETE TIME SYSTEMS & SIGNAL PROCESSING

Rectangular Window: Rectangular This is the most basic of windowing methods. It does not require
any operations because its values are either 1 or 0. It creates an abrupt discontinuity that results in sharp
roll-offs but large ripples.

Rectangular window is defined by the following equation.

=1 for 0 ≤ n ≤ N
W[n]
=0 otherwise
Triangular Window: The computational simplicity of this window, a simple convolution of two
rectangle windows, and the lower sidelobes make it a viable alternative to the rectangular window.

Kaiser Window: This windowing method is designed to generate a sharp central peak. It has reduced
side lobes and transition band is also narrow. Thus commonly used in FIR filter design.

Hamming Window: This windowing method generates a moderately sharp central peak. Its ability to
generate a maximally flat response makes it convenient for speech processing filtering.

M.I.E.T 92 DEPT OF ECE

EE6403 DISCRETE TIME SYSTEMS & SIGNAL PROCESSING

Hanning Window: This windowing method generates a maximum flat filter design.

4.10 DESIGNING FILTER DESIGN FROM POLE ZERO PLACEMENT

Filters can be designed from its pole zero plot. Following two constraints should be imposed while
designing the filters.
1.All poles should be placed inside the unit circle on order for the filter to be stable. However zeros can
be placed anywhere in the z plane. FIR filters are all zero filters hence they are always stable. IIR filters
are stable only when all poles of the filter are inside unit circle.
2.All complex poles and zeros occur in complex conjugate pairs in order for the filter coefficients to be
real.
In the design of low pass filters, the poles should be placed near the unit circle at points corresponding to
low frequencies ( near ω=0)and zeros should be placed near or on unit circle at points corresponding to
high frequencies (near ω=∏). The opposite is true for high pass filters.

M.I.E.T 93 DEPT OF ECE

EE6403 DISCRETE TIME SYSTEMS & SIGNAL PROCESSING

NOTCH AND COMB FILTERS

A notch filter is a filter that contains one or more deep notches or ideally perfect nulls in its frequency
response characteristic. Notch filters are useful in many applications where specific frequency
components must be eliminated. Example Instrumentation and recording systems required that the
power-line frequency 60Hz and its harmonics be eliminated.
To create nulls in the frequency response of a filter at a frequency ω0, simply introduce a pair of
complex-conjugate zeros on the unit circle at an angle ω0.
comb filters are similar to notch filters in which the nulls occur periodically across the frequency band
similar with periodically spaced teeth. Frequency response characteristic of notch filter |H(ω)| is as
shown in figure.

ωo ω1 ω
DIGITAL RESONATOR
A digital resonator is a special two pole bandpass filter with a pair of complex conjugate poles
located near the unit circle. The name resonator refers to the fact that the filter has a larger magnitude
response in the vicinity of the pole locations. Digital resonators are useful in many applications,
including simple bandpass filtering and speech generations.
IDEAL FILTERS ARE NOT PHYSICALLY REALIZABLE. Why?
Ideal filters are not physically realizable because Ideal filters are anti-causal and as only causal systems
are physically realizable.
Proof:
Let take example of ideal lowpass filter.
H(ω) = 1 for - ωc ≤ ω ≤ ωc
= 0 elsewhere
The unit sample response of this ideal LPF can be obtained by taking IFT of H(ω).

Hence impulse response of an ideal LPF is as shown in Fig

LSI system is causal if its unit sample response satisfies following condition.
h(n) = 0 for n<0
In above figure h(n) extends -∞ to ∞. Hence h(n) ≠0 for n<0. This means causality condition is not
satisfied by the ideal low pass filter. Hence ideal low pass filter is non causal and it is not physically
realizable.
EXAMPLES OF SIMPLE DIGITAL FILTERS:

M.I.E.T 96 DEPT OF ECE

EE6403 DISCRETE TIME SYSTEMS & SIGNAL PROCESSING

The following examples illustrate the essential features of digital filters.

1.UNITY GAIN FILTER: yn = xn
Each output value yn is exactly the same as the corresponding input value xn:
2.SIMPLE GAIN FILTER: yn = Kxn (K = constant) Amplifier or attenuator)
This simply applies a gain factor K to each input value:
3.PURE DELAY FILTER: yn = xn-1
The output value at time t = nh is simply the input at time t = (n-1)h, i.e. the signal is delayed by time h:
4.TWO-TERM DIFFERENCE FILTER: yn = xn - xn-1
The output value at t = nh is equal to the difference between the current input xn and the previous
inputxn-1:
5.TWO-TERM AVERAGE FILTER: yn = (xn + xn-1) / 2
The output is the average (arithmetic mean) of the current and previous input:
6.THREE-TERM AVERAGE FILTER: yn = (xn + xn-1 + xn-2) / 3
This is similar to the previous example, with the average being taken of the current and two
previousinputs.
7.CENTRAL DIFFERENCE FILTER: yn = (xn - xn-2) / 2
This is similar in its effect to example (4). The output is equal to half the change in the input signal over
the previous two sampling intervals.
ORDER OF A DIGITAL FILTER
The order of a digital filter can be defined as the number of previous inputs (stored in the processor's
memory) used to calculate the current output.
This is illustrated by the filters given as examples in the previous section.
Example (1): yn = xn
This is a zero order filter, since the current output yn depends only on the current inputxn and not on any
previous inputs.
Example (2): yn = Kxn
The order of this filter is again zero, since no previous outputs are required to give the current output
value.
Example (3): yn = xn-1
This is a first order filter, as one previous input (xn-1) is required to calculate yn. (Note that this filter is
classed as first-order because it uses one previous input, even though the current input is not used).
Example (4): yn = xn - xn-1

M.I.E.T 97 DEPT OF ECE

EE6403 DISCRETE TIME SYSTEMS & SIGNAL PROCESSING

This is again a first order filter, since one previous input value is required to give the current output.
Example (5): yn = (xn + xn-1) / 2
The order of this filter is again equal to 1 since it uses just one previous input value.
Example (6): yn = (xn + xn-1 + xn-2) / 3
To compute the current output yn, two previous inputs (xn-1 and xn-2) are needed; this is therefore a
second-order filter.
Example (7): yn = (xn - xn-2) / 2
The filter order is again 2, since the processor must store two previous inputs in order to compute the
current output. This is unaffected by the absence of an explicitxn-1 term in the filter expression.
Q) For each of the following filters, state the order of the filter and identify the values of its coefficients:
(a) yn = 2xn - xn-1 A) Order = 1: a0 = 2, a1 = -1
(b) yn = xn-2 B) Order = 2: a0 = 0, a1 = 0, a2 = 1
(c) yn = xn - 2xn-1 + 2xn-2 + xn-3 C) Order = 3: a0 = 1, a1 = -2, a2 = 2, a3 = 1

EE6403 DISCRETE TIME SYSTEMS & SIGNAL PROCESSING

There are mainly three types of microprocessor architectures present.

1. Von-Neumann architecture
2. Harvard architecture
3. Analog devices Modified Harvard architecture.
1) Von-Neumann Architecture
General purpose microprocessors uses the Von-Neumann Architectures. (named after the American
mathematician John Von Neumann)
1.It consists of ALU, accumulator, IO devices and common address and data bus. It also consists of a
single memory which contains data and instructions, a single bus for transferring data and instructions
into and out of the CPU.
2.Multiplying two numbers requires at leased three cycles, two cycles are required to transfer the two
numbers into the CPU and one cycle to transfer the instruction.

3.This architecture is giving good performance when all the required tasks can be executed serially.
4.For large processing applications like DSP applications Von-Neumann architecture is not suitable as
processing speed is less. Processing speed can be increased by pipelining up to certain extend which is
not sufficient for DSP applications. In order to perform a single FIR filter multiply-accumulate, an
instruction is fetched from the program memory, and during the same cycle, a coefficient can be fetched
from the data memory. A second cycle is required to fetch the data word from data memory

2) Harvard Architecture (named for the work done at Harvard university)

1. Data and program instructions each have separate memories and buses as shown.
Program memory address and data buses for program memory and data memory
address and data buses for data memory.

2. Since the buses operate independently, program instructions and data can be
fetched at the same time. Therefore improving speed over the single bus Von
Neumann design.

3. In order to perform a single FIR filter multiply-accumulate, an instruction is

fetched from the program memory, and during the same cycle, a coefficient can be
fetched from the data memory. A second cycle is required to fetch the data word
from data memory.

BUSES: Block Diagram of Architecture

The ADSP-21xx processors have five internal buses to ensure data transfer.

1.PMA and DMA buses are used internally for addresses associated with Program
and data memory. The PMD and DMD are used for data associated with memory
spaces. Off Chip, the buses are multiplexed into a single external address bus and a
single external data bus. The address spaces are selected by the appropriate
control signal.

M.I.E.T 101
DEPT OF ECE
 EE6403 DISCRETE TIME SYSTEMS & SIGNAL PROCESSING

2.The result (R) bus transfers the intermediate results directly between various
computational units.
3.PMA bus is 14-bits wide allowing direct access of up to 16k words of code and
data. PMD bus is 24 bits wide to accommodate the 24 bit instruction width.
The DMA bus 14 bits wide allowing direct access of up to 16k words of data.The
DMD bus is 16 bit wide.
4.The DMD bus provides a path for the contents of any register in the processor to
be transferred to any other register or to any external data memory location in a
single cycle. DMA address comes from two sources. An absolute value specified in
the instruction code (direct addressing) or the output of DAG (Indirect
addressing). The PMD bus can also be used to transfer data to and from the
computational units thro direct path or via PMD-DMD bus exchange unit.
COMPUTATIONAL UNITS:
The processor contains three -independent computational units. ALU, MAC
(Multiplier-accumulator) and the barrel shifter. The computational units process 16-
bit data directly. ALU is 16 bits wide with two 16 bit input ports and one output
port. The ALU provides a standard set of arithmetic and logic functions.
ALU Features
1. Add, subtract, Negate, increment, decrement, Absolute value, AND, OR, EX-OR,
Not etc.
2. Bitwise operators, Constant operators
3. Multi-precision Math Capability
4. Divide Primitives and overflow support.
MAC:
The MAC performs high speed single-cycle multiply/add and multiply/subtract
operations. MAC has two 16 bit input ports and one 32 bit product output port. 32
bit product is passed to a 40 bit adder/subtractor which adds or subtracts the new
product from the content of the multiplier result (MR). It also contains a 40 bit
accumulator which provides 8 bit overflow in successive additions to ensure that no
loss of data occurs. 256 overflows would have to occur before any data is lost. A set
of background registers is also available in the MAC for interrupts service routine.

M.I.E.T 102 DEPT OF ECE

 EE6403 DISCRETE TIME SYSTEMS & SIGNAL PROCESSING

SHIFTER:
The shifter performs a complete set of shifting functions like logical and arithmetic
shifts (circular or linear shift) , normalization (fixed point to floating point
conversion), demoralization (floating point to fixed point conversion) etc
ALU, MAC and shifter are connected to DMD bus on one side and to R bus on
other side. All three sections contains input and output registers which are
accessible from the internal DMD bus. Computational operations generally take the
operands from input registers and load the result into an output register.
DATA ADDRESS GENERATORS (DAG):
Two DAG's and a powerful program sequencer ensure efficient use of these
computational units. The two DAG's provides memory addresses when memory
data is transferred to or from the input or output registers. Each DAG keeps track of
up to four address pointers. Hence jumps, branching types of instructions are
implemented within one cycle. With two independent DAG's, the processor can
generate two address simultaneously for dual operand fetches.
DAG1 can supply addresses to data memory only. DAG2 can supply addresses to
either data memory or program memory. When the appropriate mode bit is set in
mode status register (MSTAT), the output address of DAG1 is bit-reversed before
being driven onto the address bus. This feature facilitates addressing in radix-2 FFT
algorithm.
PROGRAM SEQUENCER:
The program sequencer exchanges data with DMD bus. It can also take from
PMD bus. It supplies instruction address to program memory. The sequencer is
driven by the instruction register which holds the currently executing instruction.
The instruction register introduces a single level of pipelining into the program
flow. Instructions are fetched and loaded into the instruction register during one
processor cycle, and executed during the following cycle while the next instruction
is pre-fetched. The cache memory stores up to 16 previously executed instructions.
Thus data memory on PMD bus is more efficient because of cache memory. This
also makes pipelining and increase the speed of operations.

5.5 APPLICATIONS OF DSP
1. SPEECH RECOGNITION
Basic block diagram of a speech recognition system is shown in Fig 1
1.In speech recognition system using microphone one can input speech or voice.
The analog speech signal is converted to digital speech signal by speech digitizer.
Such digital signal is called digitized speech.
2.The digitized speech is processed by DSP system. The significant features of
speech such as its formats, energy, linear prediction coefficients are extracted.The
template of this extracted features are compared with the standard reference
templates.The closed matched template is considered as the recognized word.
3.Voice operated consumer products like TV, VCR, Radio, lights, fans and voice

sounds noise generator is selected as signal source.
2. The linear prediction coefficients are used as coefficients of digital filter.
Depending upon these coefficients , the signal is passed and filtered by the digital
filter.
3. The low pass filter removes high frequency noise if any from the synthesized
speech. Because of linear phase characteristic FIR filters are mostly used as digital

3. SOUND PROCESSING
1.In sound processing application, Music compression(MP3) is achieved by
converting the time domain signal to the frequency domain then removing
frequencies which are no audible.
2.The time domain waveform is transformed to the frequency domain using a filter
bank. The strength of each frequency band is analyzed and quantized based on how
much effect they have on the perceived decompressed signal.
3.The DSP processor is also used in digital video disk (DVD) which uses MPEG-2
compression, Web video content application like Intel Indeo, real audio.
4.Sound synthesis and manipulation, filtering, distortion, stretching effects are also
done by DSP processor. ADC and DAC are used in signal generation and recording.
4. ECHO CANCELLATION
In the telephone network, the subscribers are connected to telephone exchange by
two wire circuit. The exchanges are connected by four wire circuit. The two wire
circuit is bidirectional and carries signal in both the directions. The four wire circuit
has separate paths for transmission and reception. The hybrid coil at the exchange
provides the interface between two wire and four wire circuit which also provides
impedance matching between two wire and four wire circuits. Hence there are no
echo or reflections on the lines. But this impedance matching is not perfect because
it is length dependent. Hence for echo cancellation, DSP techniques are used as
follows.

Figure : Echo canceller principle

1.An DSP based acoustic echo canceller works in the following fashion: it records
the sound going to the loudspeaker and substract it from the signal coming from the

M.I.E.T 108
DEPT OF ECE
 EE6403 DISCRETE TIME SYSTEMS & SIGNAL PROCESSING

microphone. The sound going through the echo-loop is transformed and delayed,
and noise is added, which complicate the substraction process.
2.Let be the input signal going to the loudspeaker; let be the signal picked up
by the microphone, which will be called the desired signal. The signal after
substraction will be called the error signal and will be denoted by . The adaptive
filter will try to identify the equivalent filter seen by the system from the
loudspeaker to the microphone, which is the transfer function of the room
the loudpeaker and microphone are in.
3.This transfer function will depend heavily on the physical characteristics of the
environment.In broad terms, a small room with absorbing walls will
origninate just a few, first order reflections so that its transfer function will have a
short impulse response. On the other hand, large rooms with reflecting walls will
have a transfer function whose impulse response decays slowly in time, so that
echo cancellation will be much more difficult.
5. VIBRATION ANALYSIS
1. Normally machines such as motor, ball bearing etc systems vibrate depending
upon the speed of their movements.
2. In order to detect fault in the system spectrum analysis can be performed. It
shows fixed frequency pattern depending upon the vibrations. If there is fault in the
machine, the predetermined spectrum is changes. There are new frequencies
introduced in the spectrum representing fault.
3. This spectrum analysis can be performed by DSP system. The DSP system can
also be used to monitor other parameters of the machine simultaneously.

121 DEPT OF ECE
 EE6403 DISCRETE TIME SYSTEMS & SIGNAL PROCESSING

(ii) With zero padding, the DFT can be used in linear filtering.
15. Why FFT is needed?
The direct evaluation of the DFT using the formula requires N2 complex
multiplications and N (N-1) complex additions. Thus for reasonably large values of
N (inorder of 1000) direct evaluation of the DFT requires an inordinate amount of
computation. By using FFT algorithms the number of computations can be reduced.
For example, for an N-point DFT, The number of complex multiplications required

The fast Fourier transforms (FFT) is an algorithm used to compute the DFT. It
makes use of the Symmetry and periodically properties of twiddles factor WKN to
effectively reduce the DFT computation time. It is based on the fundamental
principle of decomposing the computation of the DFT of a sequence of length N

The FFT algorithm is most efficient in calculating N-point DFT. If the number of
output points N can be expressed as a power of 2, that is, N=2M, where M is an
integer, Then this algorithm is known as radix-s FFT algorithm.
22. What is a decimation-in-time algorithm?
Decimation-in-time algorithm is used to calculate the DFT of a N-point Sequence.
The idea is to break the N-point sequence into two sequences, the DFTs of which
can be combined to give the DFT of the original N-point sequence. Initially the N-
point sequence is divided into two N/2-point sequences xe(n) and x0(n), which have
the even and odd members of x(n) respectively. The N/2 point DFTs of these two
sequences are evaluated and combined to give the N point DFT. Similarly the N/2
point DFTs can be expressed as a combination of N/4 point DFTs. This process is
continued till we left with 2-point DFT. This algorithm is called Decimation-in-time
because the sequence x(n) is often splitted into smaller sub sequences.

1. For DIT, the input is bit reversal while the output is in natural order, whereas for
DIF, the input is in natural order while the output is bit reversed.
2. The DIF butterfly is slightly different from the DIT butterfly, the difference being
that the complex multiplication takes place after the add-subtract operation in DIF.

DFT. Bot algorithms can be done in place and both need to perform bit reversal at
some place during the computation.

response. frequency response.

14) What are the advantages and disadvantages of digital filters?

 High thermal stability due to absence of resistors, inductors and capacitors.
 Increasing the length of the registers can enhance the performance
characteristics like accuracy, dynamic range, stability and tolerance.
 The digital filters are programmable.
 Multiplexing and adaptive filtering are possible.
Disadvantages of digital filters

 The performance of the digital filter depends on the hardware used to
implement the filter.
15) What is impulse invariant transformation?
The transformation of analog filter to digital filter without modifying the impulse
response of the filter is called impulse invariant transformation.
16) Obtain the impulse response of digital filter to correspond to an analog
filter with impulse response ha(t) = 0.5 e-2t and with a sampling rate of 1.0kHz

18) What is the importance of poles in filter design?
The stability of a filter is related to the location of the poles. For a stable analog

poles should lie inside the unit circle in the z-plane.
19) Why an impulse invariant transformation is not considered to be one-to-
one?
In impulse invariant transformation any strip of width 2π/T in the s-plane for values
of s-plane in the range (2k-1)/T < Ω <(2k-1) π/T is mapped into the entire z-plane.
The left half of each strip in s-plane is mapped into the interior of unit circle in z-
plane, right half of each strip in s-plane is mapped into the exterior of unit circle in
z-plane and the imaginary axis of each strip in s-plane is mapped on the unit circle

20) What is Bilinear transformation?
The bilinear transformation is conformal mapping that transforms the s-plane to z-
plane. In this mapping the imaginary axis of s-plane is mapped into the unit circle in
z-plane, The left half of s-plane is mapped into interior of unit circle in z-plane and
the right half of s-plane is mapped into exterior of unit circle in z-plane. The
Bilinear mapping is a one-to-one mapping and it is accomplished when

applications.
34. What is the necessary and sufficient condition for the linear phase
characteristic of an FIR filter?
The necessary and sufficient condition for the linear phase characteristic of an FIR

1 to 0 at the edges of window sequence. These oscillations can be eliminated or
reduced by replacing the sharp transition by gradual transition. This is the
motivation for development of triangular and cosine windows.

UNIT V - DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSOR

1. Write short notes on general purpose DSP processors

General-purpose digital signal processors are basically high speed microprocessors
with hard ware architecture and instruction set optimized for DSP operations. These
processors make extensive use of parallelism, Harvard architecture, pipelining and
dedicated hardware whenever possible to perform time consuming operations .
2. Write notes on special purpose DSP processors.
There are two types of special; purpose hardware.
(i) Hardware designed for efficient execution of specific DSP algorithms such as
digital filter, FFT.
(ii) Hardware designed for specific applications, for example telecommunication,
digital audio.
3. Briefly explain about Harvard architecture.
The principal feature of Harvard architecture is that the program and the data
memories lie in two separate spaces, permitting full overlap of instruction fetch and
execution. Typically these types of instructions would involve their distinct type.
1. Instruction fetch
2. Instruction decode
3. Instruction execute
4. Briefly explain about multiplier accumulator. The way to implement the
correlation and convolution is array multiplication Method. For getting
such as digital filter, FFT.

8. In a non-pipeline machine, the instruction fetch, decode and execute take 30

ns, 45 ns and 25 ns respectively. Determine the increase in throughput if the
instruction were pipelined. Assume a 5ns pipeline overhead in each stage and
ignore other delays. The average instruction time is = 30 ns+45 ns + 25 ns = 100 ns
Each instruction has been completed in three cycles = 45 ns * 3 = 135ns
Throughput of the machine = The average instruction time/Number of M/C per
instruction = 100/135 = 0.7407 But in the case of pipeline machine, the clock speed
is determined by the speed of the slowest stage plus overheads. In our case is = 45
ns + 5 ns =50 ns The respective throughput is = 100/50 = 2.00 The amount of speed
up the operation is = 135/50 = 2.7 times
9. Assume a memory access time of 150 ns, multiplication time of 100 ns,
addition time of 100 ns and overhead of 10 ns at each pipe stage. Determine the
throughput of MAC After getting successive addition and multiplications The total
time delay is 150 + 100 + 100 + 5 = 355 ns System throughput is = 1/355 ns.
10.Write down the name of the addressing modes. Direct addressing. Indirect
addressing. Bit-reversed addressing
Immediate addressing.
i. Short immediate addressing.
ii. Long immediate addressing.
Circular addressing.
11.What are the instructions used for block transfer in C5X Processors? The
BLDD, BLDP and BLPD instructions use the BMAR to point at the source or
destination space of a block move. The MADD and MADS also use the BMAR to
address an operand in program memory for a multiply accumulator operation
12.Briefly explain about the dedicated register addressing modes. The
dedicated-registered addressing mode operates like the long immediate addressing
modes, except that the address comes from one of two special-purpose memory-
mapped registers in the CPU: the block move address register (BMAR) and the
dynamic bit manipulation register (DBMR). The advantage of this addressing mode
is that the address of the block of memory to be acted upon can be changed during
execution of the program.
13. Briefly explain about bit-reversed addressing mode?
In the bit-reversed addressing mode, INDX specifies one-half the size of the FFT.
The value contained in the current AR must be equal to 2n-1, where n is an integer,
and the FFT size is 2n. An auxiliary register points to the physical location of a data
value. When we add INDX t the current AR using bit reversed addressing,
addresses are generated in a bit-reversed fashion. Assume that the auxiliary registers
are eight bits long, that AR2 represents the base address of the data in memory
(0110 00002), and that INDX contains the value 0000 10002.
14. Briefly explain about circular addressing mode.
Many algorithms such as convolution, correlation, and finite impulse response
(FIR) filters can use circular buffers in memory to implement a sliding window;
which contains the most recent data to be processed. The ‗C5x supports two
concurrent circular buffer operating via the ARs. The following five memory-
mapped registers control the circular buffer operation.
1. CBSR1- Circular buffer 1 start register.
2. CBSR2- Circular buffer 2 start Register,

2. Parallel logic unit (PLU)
3. Auxiliary register arithmetic unit (ARAU)
4. Memory-mapped registers.
5. Program controller.
16. Write short notes about arithmetic logic unit and accumulator.
The 32-bit general-purpose ALU and ACC implement a wide range of arithmetic
and logical functions, the majority of which execute in a single clock cycle. Once an
operation is performed in the ALU, the result is transferred to the ACC, where
additional operations, such as shifting, can occur. Data that is input to the ALU can
be scaled by the prescaler. The following steps occur in the implementation of a
typical ALU instruction:
1. Data is fetched from memory on the data bus,
2. Data is passed through the prescaler and the ALU, where the arithmetic is
performed, and
3. The result is moved into the ACC.
The ALU operates on 16-bit words taken from data memory or derived from
immediate instructions. In addition to the usual arithmetic instructions, the ALU can
perform Boolean operations, thereby facilitating the bit manipulation ability
required of high-speed controller. One input to the ALU is always supplied by the
ACC. The other input can be transferred from the PREG of the multiplier, the
ACCB, or the output of the prescaler. After the ALU has performed the arithmetic
or logical operation, the result is stored in the ACC.
17. Write short notes about parallel logic unit.
The parallel logic unit (PLU) can directly set, clear, test, or toggle multiple bits in
control/status register pr any data memory location. The PLU provides a direct logic
operation path to data memory values without affecting the contents of the ACC or
the PREG.
18. What is meant by auxiliary register file?
The auxiliary register file contains eight memory-mapped auxiliary registers (AR0-
AR7), which can be used for indirect addressing of the data memory or for
temporary data storage. Indirect auxiliary register addressing allows placement of
the data memory address of an instruction operand into one of the AR. The ARs are
pointed to by a 3-bit auxiliary register pointer (ARP) that is loaded with a value
from 0-7, designating AR0-AR7, respectively.
19. Write short notes about circular registers in C5X.
The ‗C5x devices support two concurrent circular buffers operating in conjunction
with user-specified auxiliary register. Two 16-bit circular buffer start registers
(CBSR1 and CBSR2) indicate the address where the circular buffer starts. Two 16-
bit circular buffer end registers (CBER1 and CBER2) indicate the address where the
circular buffer ends. The 16-bit circular buffer control register (CBCR) controls the
operation of these circular buffers and identifies the auxiliary registers to be used.
