Description

In today’s smart devices, Digital Signal Processing (DSP) plays a critical role in everything from audio processing to sensor data analysis. But when you're building for embedded systems, efficiency, timing, and hardware constraints demand a specialized approach.

This course is designed to bridge the gap between theory and embedded application. You’ll learn how DSP differs from general-purpose computing, how to apply sampling and filtering techniques, and how to optimize performance for resource-constrained environments.

Whether you're working on IoT, robotics, wearables, or any embedded platform—this course will teach you the core DSP skills you need to design, analyze, and deploy real-time signal processing systems.

Each concept is explained in simple terms, with a focus on real-world use cases and system-level thinking.

What You’ll Learn

  • Why DSP requires a unique approach in embedded system design

  • How to implement sampling, quantization, and filtering techniques

  • Practical use of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) in real-time applications

  • How to design FIR and IIR filters for resource-constrained systems

  • Adaptive filtering for dynamic, real-time data environments

  • Performance tuning using fixed-point math and optimization techniques

  • How to use hardware acceleration to boost DSP performance
