Some Advantages of Digital Signal

Processing technology over Analog:

Š Allows for more compact or smaller device

sizes
Š Lesser noise and signal distortion
Š More accurate design; Allows more
mathematical signal implementation and
analysis
l i
Š Flexibility; Ease of reprogramming and
replication
Š Provision of cheaper design and implementation
