Course Overview

The term “digital signal processing” implies the processing of various types of digital signals or signals indexed by integers. This can be one, two, or three-dimensional, and the signals can come in the form of audio, video, images, or picture elements. The Digital Signal Processing and its Applications certification course focus on decoding one-dimensional signals.

The Digital Signal Processing and its Applications syllabus begin by discussing Discrete-Time systems and signals. The curriculum then proceeds to introduce the properties and theoretical implications of the Z transform. Moreover, this curriculum is highly relevant to the undergraduate course model as it is designed by undergraduate students, along with the course faculty.

Two premier institutes, namely IIT Bombay and GH Raisoni College of Engineering, Nagpur, have designed this online course on Digital Signal Processing and its Applications. Candidates can choose to audit the course for free or pay the exam fee to obtain the certification. Assignments and examples aid the teaching-learning process.
