Looks a very typical university project. And perhaps the higher
level work is done in Matlab or similar tools. I guess DSP
(not dsPICs but those from AD or TI) might be better option
for this kind of project because of the higher level software.
Matlab supports quite some DSPs and higher end MCUs but not
anything from Microchip. And the system may need some MCUs,
so PIC still can be used for some tasks.
