DSP lab course experiments based on the Motorola DSP56K processor

This paper describes a set of real time experiments for a digital signal processing undergraduate course. These experiments are based upon the Motorola 56K DSP processor. The main purpose of the experiments described is to allow students to appreciate the potential of DSP processors to implement digital filters. The experiments described range from function generation to IIR and FIR filter design. The code is available to interested instructors as shareware files. Data for the digital filters designed and implemented in these experiments is obtained from the MATLAB Signals Toolbox and from other design packages available.
