The module is aimed at both a theoretical and a hardware design perspective of the entire signal processing chain and the interdependencies of hardware design parameters. Topics covered will be: Anti-aliasing and reconstruction filters, sampling (in time), bit quantization (in value), conversion and reconstruction, slew rate, sample and hold, over-sampling, under-sampling, precision of al-gorithms and respective errors and error propagation. Digital signal generation. CORDIC. Sigma-Delta-prin-ciples, noise shaping. Digital filter design principles. Digital control systems. Z-transform and bit-true repre-sentations in time and frequency domain. Actual hardware implementation schemes.
