The traditional view is that the floating-point number format is superior to the fixed-point number format when it comes to representing sound digitally. In fact, while it may be counter-intuitive, ...

How to optimize typical frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar range-Doppler signal processing algorithm kernels using both fixed- and floating-point computations on Cadence Tensilica DSPs.

A digital signal processor is an IC or IP core designed to process signals digitally with efficiency. Analog signals are converted to digital via an analog-to-digital converter before being processed ...

The shift to larger data words and higher sampling rates in audio applications is creating challenges for the audio developer. Here’s some advice on how to deal with the transition. The demand for ...

Every modern computer has a microprocessor in it, but not many have a digital signal processor (DSP). Since the CPU is a digital device, it clearly processes digital data, so you might wonder what the ...
