ABSTRACT
Digital signal processing, or DSP, is a rapidly growing field within Electrical and Computer Engineering. Analog processing is achieved using components such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors, whereas digital processing utilizes a programmable microprocessor. The main advantage of digital processing is that applications can be changed, corrected, or updated very easily by reprogramming the microprocessor, unlike analog systems, which would require components, such as resistors or capacitors, to be physically changed. Additionally, DSPs also reduce noise, power consumption, and cost, when compared to analog systems.
