DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING LAB

Welcome to the homepage of DSP Lab at ECE NITK Surathkal …!

DSP Lab is located in the North-wing of the ECE department encompassing an area of about 92 sq. m. The lab facility is being used by the BTech, MTech, MTech (R), PhD and JRF students of the ECE department.

The Lab is mainly a teaching Lab used for conducting experiments in the field of signal processing and its applications. The Lab includes various facilitates to conduct both simulations and hardware experiments, and different computational platforms and DSP tools for implementing DSP algorithms. The objective of the Lab is to enable the students simulate and experiment with digital signals and systems and apply the theory they have learnt to the practical scenarios. Students carry out their course-projects, mini and minor projects, major projects using the available facilities.
