mall but efficient evaluation board, based on the FLEX 10K50 Altera FPGA connected to an UART for PC interfacing and dual SRAM providing data and programmemory, is available for each project group.5. GENERAL EXPERIENCESApart from minor modifications and updates, the Master programme is now running into its 6th year. Although the programme is quite intensive we found that it actually is possible during a two semester course to enable students to design operational FPGA prototype systems for plex DSP applications. The prerequisitions are a detailed knowledge of DSP theory and general digital circuit design. We are convinced that our success is due to the projectoriented education strategy. Working together in small groups, the students are highly motivated and prepared to spend some extra hours every day in order to achieve their project goals. Up til now, a variety of diffierent Master theses have been conducted, examples are available from [3] | some, unfortunately, are written in Danish, meaning that the next goal is to give our students a more international flavor.附錄B一個以 “ DSP算法和ASIC架構(gòu)”為導(dǎo)向的碩士課程在過去十年中數(shù)字信號處理(DSP)已從一個只有少數(shù)專家認知的術(shù)語,演變?yōu)橐粋€家喻戶曉的名詞。 extract information from an observed signal eliminate/reduce unwanted signal ponents fast and reliable signal transmission/detectionanalyze, modify and benchmark DSP algorithms in order to _t them optimally into a fixed or programmable target architecture.

The growth in DSP applied in ., consumer, medical, munications, networking and puting devices has been spectacular. In fact, the digital signal processor market has grown 40% per year since 1988 and this figure is expected to continue over the next 10 years. At the same time the extreme improvement in hardware technologies has been paving the way for designing dedicated architectures for real time execution of still more plex DSP algorithms, continuously decreasing the power and silicon consumption required to perform certain functionalities. Consequently, we consider advanced DSP topics as being essential in the curriculum for a still growing number of electrical engineering students. These topics are basically related to 1) the design of highly plex DSP algorithms according to given specifications, and 2) real time implementation of these algorithms using various and conceptually different hardware architectures. Aalborg University, which has a long standing tradition for projectoriented teaching in traditional DSP theory at the Master level, therefore in 1994 launched a new Master programme in DSP Algorithms and ASIC Architectures. Now, after five years of very successful execution of t
