In doing this project, we
faced many of the trials and tribulations associated with real time signal
processing using a TI DSP Evaluation Module.
We encountered and dealt with various hardware issues including limited
onboard memory and the finite number of instructions that can be executed
between successive interrupts. Our
first straightforward implementation of the fft and ifft algorithms distorted
the output signal, so we implemented the overlap-save algorithm in an attempt
to eliminate this distortion; we were successful. Thus, we have accomplished our goal – to develop a foundation on
which others can use to design digital filters.
