ECE 477 - Digital Processing of Speech Signals

Credits 3
Requirements: Prerequisites: ECE 384 and ECE 475, or permission of instructor3 hours lecture
Applications of digital signal processing to speech signals. Course goals are to reinforce concepts learned in prerequisite courses, to introduce new tools needed to deal with time-varying signals and to have students apply what they have learned to their own voices. A semester design project is a large component of this course. Topics include a review of digital signal processing and random signal fundamentals, brief introduction to articulatory and acoustic phonetics, time-domain methods for speech processing, short-time Fourier analysis, homomorphic speech processing, linear predictive coding of speech, and applications.
