Examples of signals of particular interest are: speech, is encountered in telephony, radio, and everyday life biomedical signals, (heart signals, brain signals) Sound and music, as reproduced by the compact disc player Video and image, Radar signals, which are used to determine the range and bearing of distant targets Attraction of DSP comes from key advantages such as : * Guaranteed accuracy: (accuracy is only determined by the number of bits used) * Perfect Reproducibility: Identical performance from unit to unit ie. A digital recording can be copied or reproduced several times with no loss in signal quality * No drift in performance with temperature and age * Uses advances in semiconductor technology to achieve: (i) smaller size (ii) lower cost (iii) low power consumption (iv) higher operating speed * Greater flexibility: Reprogrammable , no need to modify the hardware * Superior performance ie. linear phase response can be achieved complex adaptive filtering becomes possible Disadvantages of DSP * Speed and Cost DSP designs can be expensive, especially when large bandwidth signals are involved. ADC or DACs are either to expensive or do not have sufficient resolution for wide bandwidth applications. * DSP designs can be time consuming plus need the necessary resources (software etc) * Finite word-length problems If only a limited number of bits is used due to economic considerations serious degradation in system performance may result.
