How to study Digital Signal Analysis & Processing — Semester V, Pokhara University BECE

What it covers

Discrete-time signals and systems: the Z-transform, frequency-domain analysis, the DFT and FFT, discrete filter structures, and IIR and FIR filter design.

Topics worth extra time

  1. Discrete-time signals and systems, and their properties
  2. Convolution and correlation
  3. Z-transform and its application to system analysis
  4. Discrete Fourier transform and FFT
  5. Design of FIR and IIR filters

How to study it

Build intuition with plots: compute and plot signals and their transforms in Python or MATLAB. Practise convolution by hand on short sequences. Keep a table of Z-transform pairs and properties.

In the exam

Show each step of convolution and transform calculations. Filter design questions need the specification, design steps and final transfer function.
