A digital signal processor (DSP) is a specialized microprocessor designed specifically to perform complex computations on digital signals in real-time. It is used to analyze, process, and transform digital signals such as audio, video, images, and data to extract useful information or modify their characteristics. DSPs are used in various applications including telecommunications, audio and video processing, radar and sonar systems, image and speech recognition, and control systems. They have high processing power, low power consumption, and are optimized for algorithms that require high-speed mathematical calculations.
