by Dr. Jaydeep T. Vagh Analog signal processing is a type of signal processing conducted on continuousanalog signals by some analog means (as opposed to the discrete digital signal processing where the signal processing is carried out by a digital process). “Analog” indicates something that is mathematically represented as a set of continuous values. This …

Signal processing
by Dr. Jaydeep T. Vagh Categories Analog Analog signal processing is for signals that have not been digitized, as in legacy radio, telephone, radar, and television systems. This involves linear electronic circuits as well as non-linear ones. The former are, for instance, passive filters, active filters, additive mixers, integrators and delay lines. Non-linear circuits include …
Signal
by Dr. Jaydeep T. Vagh Definitions Definitions specific to sub-fields are common. For example, in information theory, a signal is a codified message, that is, the sequence of states in a communication channel that encodes a message. In the context of signal processing, signals are analog and digital representations of analog physical quantities. In terms …

Computer Components Microprocessor Part 3
by Dr. Jaydeep T. Vagh Basic Input Output System Today Microsoft Windows comes with dozens of built-in applications from Internet Explorer to Minesweeper, but at its core the primary function of the operating system is still to load and run programs. However, the oper- ating system itself is a program, which leads to a “chicken-and-egg” …

Computer Components Microprocessor Part 2
by Dr. Jaydeep T. Vagh Processor Bus The processor bus controls how the microprocessor communicates with the outside world. It is sometimes called the Front-Side Bus (FSB). Early Pentium III and Athlon processors had high-speed cache memory chips built into the processor package. Communication with these chips was through a back-side bus, making the connection …

The Evolution of the Microprocessor Part 3
by Dr. Jaydeep T. Vagh Microprocessor Scaling Because of the importance of process scaling to processor design, all microprocessor designs can be broken down into two basic categories: lead designs and compactions. Lead designs are fundamentally new designs. They typically add new features that require more transistors and therefore a larger die size. Compactions change …

The Evolution of the Microprocessor Part 2
by Dr. Jaydeep T. Vagh The Microprocessor The integrated circuit was not an immediate commercial success. By 1960 the computer had gone from a laboratory device to big business with thousands in operation worldwide and more than half a billion dollars in sales in 1960 alone. 2 International Business Machines (IBM ® ) had become …
