Course Summary This course is a fresh view of the fundamenta l and practical concepts of digital signal processing applicable to the de sign of mixed signal design with A/D conversion\, digital filters\, operat ions with the FFT\, and multi-rate signal processing. This course will bu ild an intuitive understanding of the underlying mathematics through the u se of graphics\, visual demonstrations\, and applications in GPS and mixed signal (analog/digital) modern transceivers. This course is applicable to DSP algorithm development with a focus on meeting practical hardware deve lopment challenges in both the analog and digital domains\, and not a tuto rial on working with specific DSP processor hardware. Now with Jupyter Not ebooks! This long-running IEEE Course has been updated to include Jupyter Notebooks which incorporates graphics together with Python simulation cod e to provide a “take-it-with-you” interactive user experience. No knowledg e of Python is required but the notebooks will provide a basic framework f or proceeding with further signal processing development using that tools for those that have interest in doing so. This course will not be teaching Python\, but using it for demonstration. A more detailed course on Python itself is covered in a separate IEEE Course “Python Applications for Digi tal Design and Signal Processing”. Students will be encouraged but not req uired to load all the Python tools needed\, and all set-up information for installation will be provided prior to the start of class. Target Audienc e: All engineers involved in or interested in signal processing applicatio ns. Engineers with significant experience with DSP will also appreciate th is opportunity for an in-depth review of the fundamental DSP concepts from a different perspective than that given in a traditional introductory DSP course. Benefits of Attending/ Goals of Course: Attendees will build a st ronger intuitive understanding of the fundamental signal processing concep ts involved with digital filtering and mixed signal analog and digital des ign. With this\, attendees will be able to implement more creative and eff icient signal processing architectures in both the analog and digital doma ins. The knowledge gained from this course will have immediate practical v alue for any work in the signal processing field.

Thi s course will build an intuitive understanding of the und erlying mathematics through the use of graphics\, visual demonstrations\, and applications in GPS and mixed signal (analog/digital) modern transceiv ers. This course is applicable to DSP algorithm development with a focus o n meeting practical hardware development challenges in both the analog and digital domains\, and not a tutorial on working with specific DSP process or hardware.
Now with Jupyter Notebooks!
This long-running IEEE Course h as been updated to include Jupyter Notebooks which incorporates graphics t ogether with Python simulation code to provide a “take-it -with-you” interactive user experience. No knowledge of Python is required but the notebooks will provide a basic framework for proceeding with furt her signal processing development using that tools for those that have int erest in doing so.
This course will not be teaching Python\, but us ing it for demonstration. A more detailed course on Python itself is cover ed in a separate IEEE Course “Python Applications for Digital Design and S ignal Processing”.
Students will be encouraged but not required to load all the Python tools needed\, and all set-up information for installa tion will be provided prior to the start of class.
Target A udience:
All engineers involved in or interested in signal processing applications. Engineers with significant experience with DSP w ill also appreciate this opportunity for an in-depth review of the fundame ntal DSP concepts from a different perspective than that given in a tradit ional introductory DSP course.
Benefits of Attending/ Goals of Course:
Attendees will build a stronger intuitive unde rstanding of the fundamental signal processing concepts involved with digi tal filtering and mixed signal analog and digital design. With this\, atte ndees will be able to implement more creative and efficient signal process ing architectures in both the analog and digital domains. The knowledge ga ined from this course will have immediate practical value for any work in the signal processing field.

Photonic integration has been at the center of photonic activity for several years. Over this period\, great strides have been made to inc rease the integration density and integrated chip functionality. This talk will work its way up from the drivers for photonic integration – why do w e need Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs)? What are their similarities an d differences with Electronic Integrated Circuits (EICs)? This analysis of integration drivers will lead to a discussion of recent progress on the m ain paths: monolithic\, heterogeneous and hybrid. The talk will conclude w ith possible approaches to meet the additional demanding considerations fo r future Quantum PICs.
