DSP Applications and Student Projects

Abstract

DSP Applications and Student Projects 260This chapter can be used as a source of experiments, projects, and applications, as well as Refs. 1 to 4. A wide range of projects have been implemented on the floatingpoint C30 and C31 processors [5-20] as well as on the fixed-point TMS320C25 [21][22][23][24][25][26]. They range in topics from communications and controls, to neural networks, and can be used as a source of ideas to implement other projects. The proceedings from the yearly conferences, published by Texas Instruments, contain a number of articles based on the TMS320 family of digital signal processors and can be a good source of project ideas.Texas Instruments' Web site contains a list of student projects covering a wide range of applications that have made it to the final rounds of the TI "DSP and Analog Design Contest Challenge" (which has a $100,000 first prize). Chapters 6 and 7 and Appendices D-F can also be useful.I owe a special debt to all the students who have made this chapter possible. They include students from Roger Williams University and the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth, who have contributed to my general background in DSP applications, in particular the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) students in my graduate course "Real-Time DSP," based on the C6x: Y.
