Phase 1: Mathematical Foundations

Signals & Systems Fundamentals

Build the theoretical foundation covering continuous and discrete signal classification and system properties.

Fourier & Z-Transform

Master the mathematical transforms that convert signals between time and frequency domains.

Phase 2: FFT & Spectral Analysis

FFT Algorithm & Applications

Understand the Fast Fourier Transform algorithm and apply it for real-world spectral analysis.

Sampling Theory & ADC/DAC

Understand the bridge between continuous and discrete worlds through sampling and reconstruction.

Phase 3: Digital Filter Design

FIR Filter Design

Design and implement Finite Impulse Response filters with linear phase and guaranteed stability.

IIR Filter Design

Design recursive IIR filters that achieve sharp roll-off with far fewer coefficients than FIR.

Adaptive Filters & Estimation

Design filters that automatically adapt to unknown or changing signal characteristics.

Phase 4: Real-Time DSP Implementation

DSP on Microcontrollers (CMSIS-DSP)

Run optimised DSP algorithms on ARM Cortex-M processors using the CMSIS-DSP library.

DSP on FPGAs

Implement high-throughput signal processing pipelines in FPGA hardware for radar, SDR, and video.
