Today there is a global need for engineers who are “DSP literate.” An obvious solution for supplying this need is to educate the next generation of DSP engineers. To do this, several powerful and highly versatile options are available. Real-time or quasi-real-time systems can be implemented using, for example, microprocessors, FPGAs, dedicated DSP hardware, general-purpose processors, graphical processing...
Students who are learning fundamental principles of optical engineering can take advantage of existing knowledge of digital signal processing to greatly facilitate mastery of the new topics. This paper describes how professors can take advantage of this opportunity.
Engineering educators have found that students making the transition to real-time digital signal processing (DSP) from the more comfortable world of off-line processing using MATLAB must establish confidence in the hardware and software platform before significant learning can begin. In the audio realm, a talk-through project accomplishes this. For moving on to a more complicated signal such as video,...
This paper provides a comparison for educators of three currently available DSP boards based on Texas Instruments processors: the C6713 DSK, the OMAP-L138 eXperimenter Kit, and the OMAP-L138 Low Cost Development Kit. Software migration issues, classroom use, and some little-known board-design ramifications for DSP are discussed.
Engineering educators have found that well-chosen demonstrations of digital signal processing (DSP) can result in improved comprehension and better retention of topics for the majority of our students. In this paper, we discuss the use of a demonstration using real-time DSP to implement a basic adaptive filter for noise cancellation, utilizing newly-available DSP hardware from Texas Instruments. A...
Texas Instruments (TI) has created the Signal Processing Education Network (SPEN) Fellows program to help identify and fill content gaps within the signal processing content library hosted on the Connexions ecosystem. This paper will overview Connexions, SPEN, the SPEN Fellows program, and review this year's SPEN Fellows project involving Connexions content creation involving real-time DSP (RT-DSP).
The universal software radio peripheral (USRP) family of products has become a popular platform for hardware-based research and test bed validations conducted by universities in the software defined radio (SDR) and cognitive radio (CR) fields. With the recently released version of National Instruments (NI) LabVIEW, the USRP now offers a scalable, simpler, and easier to use combined platform. The new...
A new multi-core DSP board is available for university and industry engineers. The LogicPD Zoom™ OMAP-L138 eXperimenter Kit, featuring Texas Instruments' dual core SoC (ARM9 and a C6748 VLIW DSP) provides a much more capable and affordable development system for real-time DSP. While this new board includes several improvements over the TMS320C6713 DSK, the host computer-to-board communication methods...
The recent introduction of the LogicPD Zoom™ OMAP-L138 eXperimenter Kit, featuring Texas Instruments' dual core SoC (ARM9 and a C6748 VLIW DSP) has brought a much more capable and affordable DSP development system to both university and industry engineers. While this new experimenter kit has several improvements over the TMS320C6713 DSK, the host computer-to-experimenter kit communication techniques...
DSP topics such as software defined radio are more easily taught if appropriate demonstrations and laboratory experiences are provided. This paper describes a new, inexpensive software defined radio educational platform based upon MATLAB and the Texas Instruments C6713 digital signal processing starter kit. We describe the hardware and software issues and briefly describe recommended classroom use.
