The lab is based on TI’s TMS320UC5402, and features six DSP experiments aimed at demonstrating and exploring both theoretical and practical considerations in real-time implementation of DSP algorithms. The experiments include basic introductory functions, as well as more elaborate tasks such as real-time spectral analysis, Dual-Tone-Multiple-Frequency (DTMF) extraction, FIR and IIR filtering and adaptive notch filtering.
