• Discrete-time signals: exist only at discrete points in time.
• Often obtained by sampling an analogue signal,
i.e. measuring its value at discrete points in time.
• Sampling points separated by equal intervals of T seconds.
• Given analogue signal x(t), x[n] = value of x(t) when t = nT.
• Sampling process produces a sequence of numbers:
{ ..., x[-2], x[-1], x[0], x[1], x[2], ..... }
• Referred to as {x[n]} or ' the sequence x[n] '.
• Sequence exists for all integer n in the range - to .](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/dsplesson1slides1-230521175127-b38c6df7/85/DSP-Lesson-1-Slides-1-pdf-6-320.jpg)

- 7. 7 Advantages of DSP: • More & more signals are being transmitted & stored in digital form so it makes sense to process them in digital form also. • DSP systems can be designed & tested in simulation using PCs. • Accuracy pre-determined by word-length & sampling rate. • Reproducible as every copy of DSP system will perform identically. • Characteristics of system will not drift with temperature or ageing. • Availability of advanced VLSI technology. • DSP systems can be reprogrammed without changing hardware. • Products can be updated via Internet. • DSP systems can perform functions that would be extremely difficult or impossible in analogue form; e.g. adaptive filtering speech recognition.
- 8. 8 Disadvantages of digital signal processing: • DSP designs can be expensive especially for high bandwidth signals where fast analogue/digital conversion is required. • Design of DSP systems can be extremely time-consuming & a highly complex and specialised activity. There is an acute shortage of computer science and electrical engineering graduates with the knowledge and skill required. • Power requirements for digital processing can be high, thus making it unsuitable for battery powered portable devices. Fixed point processing devices are available which are simpler than floating point devices and less power consuming. However the ability to program such devices is a particularly valued and difficult skill.
