Electrical and Electronic Engineering Final Year Topic: Investigation of Digital Filter Fixed-Point Effects

This Electrical and Electronic Engineering final year project examines measuring quantisation effects in an embedded digital filter, with a bounded circuit, model or measurement procedure and explicitly defined evaluation quantities.

Why choose this project topic?

The project focuses on measuring quantisation effects in an embedded digital filter, making the engineering decision visible through measurable behaviour. Comparing frequency-response error, overflow events and computation cost provides material for waveforms, calculations and a reasoned discussion of the trade-offs behind the selected design.

How do the selected circuit, control or measurement choices affect frequency-response error, overflow events and computation cost when measuring quantisation effects in an embedded digital filter?

Agree the available approved equipment or simulation platform, operating range and comparison method for measuring quantisation effects in an embedded digital filter with your supervisor.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Specify the operating limits, assumptions and reference conditions for measuring quantisation effects in an embedded digital filter.
  2. 02Implement floating and fixed-point versions, compare word lengths and test bounded input signals near clipping limits.
  3. 03Evaluate frequency-response error, overflow events and computation cost and explain model or measurement uncertainty.

A suggested research approach

Implement floating and fixed-point versions, compare word lengths and test bounded input signals near clipping limits. Obtain supervisor approval for equipment and operating limits, and use simulation whenever the physical setup is unavailable or unsafe. Record units, instrument settings and repeated observations before comparing frequency-response error, overflow events and computation cost with a defined reference.

What you will need

  • Filter design software
  • Synthetic test signals
  • Fixed-point simulation tools

Keep your project scope clear

A stable numerical demonstration does not establish suitability for medical or safety-critical sensing.
