Applications-oriented instruction on signal processing and digital signal processing (DSP) using MATLAB and Python codes

Why you need to learn digital signal processing.

Nature is mysterious, beautiful, and complex. Trying to understand nature is deeply rewarding, but also deeply challenging. One of the big challenges in studying nature is data analysis. Nature likes to mix many sources of signals and many sources of noise into the same recordings, and this makes your job difficult.

Therefore, one of the most important goals of time series analysis and signal processing is to denoise: to separate the signals and noises that are mixed into the same data channels.

The big idea of DSP (digital signal processing) is to discover the mysteries that are hidden inside time series data, and this course will teach you the most commonly used discovery strategies.

What’s special about this course?

The main focus of this course is on implementing signal processing techniques in MATLAB and in Python. Some theory and equations are shown, but I’m guessing you are reading this because you want to implement DSP techniques on real signals, not just brush up on abstract theory.

The course comes with over 10,000 lines of MATLAB and Python code, plus sample data sets, which you can use to learn from and to adapt to your own coursework or applications.

In this course, you will also learn how to simulate signals in order to test and learn more about your signal processing and analysis methods.

You will also learn how to work with noisy or corrupted signals.

What you’ll learn

  • Understand commonly used signal processing tools
  • Design, evaluate, and apply digital filters
  • Clean and denoise data
  • Know what to look for when something isn’t right with the data or the code
  • Improve MATLAB or Python programming skills
  • Know how to generate test signals for signal processing methods
