Preface

This is one in a series of modules designed to teach you about Digital Signal Processing (DSP) using Java. The purpose of the miniseries is topresent the concepts of DSP in a way that can be understood by persons having no prior DSP experience. However, some experience in Java programmingwould be useful. Whenever it is necessary for me to write a program to illustrate a point, I will write it in Java.

Some of what you have previously learned

In a previous module, I explained the meaning of sampling, and discussed some of the problems that occur as a result of high-frequency componentsin the analog signal.

Measure and record the signal amplitude

I told you that to sample an analog signal means to measure and record its amplitude at a series of points in time. The values that you record constitute a sampled time series intended to represent the analog signal.

Avoiding frequency folding

I told you that to avoid problems, the sampling frequency must be a least twice as great as the highest frequency component contained in the analogsignal, and as a practical matter, should probably be somewhat higher.

Sinusoids, frequency, and period

I introduced you to sinusoids, taught you about sine and cosine functions, and introduced the concepts of period and frequency for sinusoids.

Decomposition of time series

I told you that almost everything we will discuss in this series on DSP is based on the premise that every time series can be decomposed into a largenumber of sinusoids, each having its own amplitude and frequency.

The notion of DSP

I told you that DSP is based on the notion that signals in nature can be sampled and converted into a series of numbers. The numbers can be fed into somesort of digital device, which can process the numbers to achieve some desired objective.

Viewing tip

what are pathogens
Don Reply
In biology, a pathogen (Greek: πάθος pathos "suffering", "passion" and -γενής -genēs "producer of") in the oldest and broadest sense, is anything that can produce disease. A pathogen may also be referred to as an infectious agent, or simply a germ. The term pathogen came into use in the 1880s.[1][2
