High power amplifier​

GPT-4o mini · Answer

Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) are primarily known for their ability to process digital signals efficiently. Among the provided options, the following apply to DSPs:

FPGA - While FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays) can be used to implement DSP functions and can be designed to perform as a DSP, they are not inherently DSPs themselves. However, DSPs can be implemented using FPGAs.
Specialized microprocessor - This is correct since many DSPs are specialized microprocessors designed specifically for the purpose of processing digital signals.

The other options do not apply:

NAND gate - This is a basic digital logic gate, not a type of processor.
High power amplifier - This is an electronic device used to amplify signals, but it is not considered a DSP.

So the correct selections are FPGA and Specialized microprocessor.
