Textbook
"Digital
Signal Processing, 4th Edition" by Proakis and Manolakis, Prentice Hall,
2007 (ISBN: 0-13-187374-1).
Class Objectives
Students learn the essential
advanced topics in digital signal processing that are necessary for successful
graduate-level research. The course includes a review of the linear
constant-coefficient system properties covered in an undergraduate DSP course,
and then examines a variety of multirate filter
structures, time-varying and adaptive systems, fast algorithms, and other
topics relevant to the research areas of the students.
Class Outline (subject to change)
- Review of discrete-time
signals and systems concepts; z-transform properties (3 weeks)
- Sampling, multirate
processing, and oversampling (1 week)
- Frequency response and
transform analysis (1 week)
- Filter structures and filter
design (2 weeks)
- DFT and DCT (1 week)
- FFT and short-time Fourier
transform (STFT) applications (2 weeks)
- Introduction to parametric
and adaptive signal processing (2 weeks)
- Array processing (1 week)
- Introduction to data compression
(1 week)

Policies
- All students must have an electronic mail address
listed with the MSU My Info
system. Announcements and reminders for EE 577 will be sent occasionally
via email.
- You are responsible for all material covered in class
and in the textbook reading assignments.
- Among other details,
Section 310.00 in the MSU Conduct
Guidelines states that students must be prompt and regular in attending
classes, be well prepared for classes, take exams when scheduled, and act in
a respectful manner toward other students and the instructor.
- Late submissions of assignments (homework and papers)
will not be accepted. Plan ahead and notify the instructor prior
to justifiable absences, or if a bona fide emergency prevented you from
attending class.
- Academic Misconduct: Unless group work is explicitly
assigned, homework and exams must be prepared individually.
Submitting the work of others is dishonest, constitutes academic misconduct,
and is grounds for dismissal from the course. Let there be NO MISUNDERSTANDING
regarding the academic dishonesty policy for this course.
Paraphrasing or quoting another’s work without citing the source is also
academic misconduct. Even inadvertent or unintentional misuse or
appropriation of another's work (such as relying heavily on source material
that is not expressly acknowledged) is plagiarism. If you have any questions
about using and citing sources, you are expected to ask for clarification.
- If you have a documented disability for which you are
or may be requesting accommodations, you are welcome and encouraged to
participate fully in this class. Please contact the instructor and the
MSU Office of Disability, Re-Entry
and Veteran Services as soon as possible.
- All records related to this course are confidential
and will not be shared with anyone, including parents, without a signed,
written release from the MSU Dean of Students. For more information contact
the Dean of Students office at 994-2828.
