Abstract

Handheld devices are increasingly finding more applications in STEM education. In this paper, we present the design of an interactive signal processing simulation software operating on both the iPhone OS (iOS) and Android platforms. This object-oriented application is called i-JDSP and is conceptually based on the award-winning Java-DSP (J-DSP) simulation environment. The i-JDSP app offers a user-friendly visual programming interface and provides users with a compelling multi-touch programming experience. It supports basic signal processing simulation functions such as the FFT, filtering, frequency response, pole-zero plots, and sound recording and playback. Initial assessments have been promising and we believe that this new attractive smartphone interface will make signal processing education among undergraduate students more appealing.
