Course Enviroment
The course, DSP Systems Design, is delivered in
the 3rd semester of the two Master Degree
Courses, in Electronics and Computers and in
Electronics and Information Processing, at the
Dept. of Physics, University of Patras.
The number of postgraduate students who are
attending the course is 20-30 students per year.
DSP Systems Design
The DSP System Design course is a three parts
course, consisting of:
Lectures (2 hours per week)
Laboratories (2 hours per week)
Projects
DSP Systems Design
The lectures include the following topics :
Introduction to the DSPs
Basic families of Texas Instruments (TI), Analog Devices,
Motorola and AT&T DSPs
Floating point vs fixed point TI’s DSPs
Main Emphasis to the Architecture of the ΤΙ’s C6000
DSPs family (TMS320C6711, TMS320C6713 and
TMS320C6416)
DSP Systems Design
Programming in assembly and C using the development
environment, Code Composer Studio (CCS) v3.1
FIR and IIR digital filters
FFT (512, 1024 points)
Coding – Decoding of DTMF signals
Modulation – demodulation of digital signals (FSK and
DPSK)
DSP Systems Design
Image processing (edge detection, histogram
equalization)

DSP Systems Design
Within the framework of the course, the students in
teams of three to four persons, have to undertake,
design and implement one of the followings projects:
¾ Voice processing (Analyze – Synthesize with LPC method)
¾ Image processing (DCT – IDCT, coding based on JPEG)
¾ 10th band parametric equalizer
¾ DTMF encoder - decoder
¾ DPSK transmitter – receiver
¾ FSK transmitter – receiver
DSP Systems Design
¾ Ι2C protocol for the communication with other devices
¾ Applications for fingerprint image capture and processing
DSP Systems Design
Aiming to the improvement of the course, several new
projects are being under development in the following
areas:
¾ V34 coding - decoding
¾ Fingerprint recognition
¾ Real-time image processing
¾ Development of a toolkit in LabVIEW for automation and
communication with TI’s DSPs through CCS v3.1
Laboratory Equipment
The laboratory is constituted of ten workstations each
one equipped with:
• A PC based on Windows. In every PC are installed the following
programs:
• Code Composer Studio by Texas Instrument v3.1
• Matlab by Mathworks
• LabVIEW by National Instrument
