Many applications in today's technological world require fast DSP processing. Anything from physical layer processing in communication infrastructure to extraordinary image and sound processing in medical equipment. DSP is a unique area in VLSI design. There are many ways to implement the same DSP algorithm, though the efficient implementation may not be so obvious and would usually require particular expertise. The first day of the course introduces important basic concepts in DSP designing. The second day surveys a variety of structures and advanced DSP implementations in VLSI. The course is largely based on examples and relevant hands-on analytical exercises.
