theory and modelling
Content, progress and pedagogy of the
module
Purpose
To offer students with fundamental knowledge about analysis, design
and implementation of digital systems, including digital
controllers or filters.
Learning objectives
Knowledge
- Must have the knowledge of Z-transform and its application in
analysis and design of digital signals and systems
- Must have knowledge about sampling theories and methods for
processing of physical signals on a computer
- Must have knowledge about theories and methods for spectral
estimation
- Must have knowledge about theories and methods for design of
digital filters (IIR/FIR)
- Must be able to implement IIR filters using bilinear transforms
and impulse invariant methods
- Must have an understanding of the limitations of taught
theories and methods
- Must have knowledge about the interplay between analysis of
signals in the time and frequency domains
- Must have knowledge about basic implementation structures and
specific DSP implementation
Skills
- Shall be able to utilize some software tools for analysis,
design and simulation of digital signal processing systems
- Must be able to apply theories and methods for spectral
estimation including DFT / FFT
- Must be able to demonstrate the correlation between frequency
resolution, window functions and zero-padding
- Must be able to apply theories and methods for design of
digital filters
- Must be able to design FIR filters using windowing methods
- Must be able to explain the relationship between the pole/zero
plots and frequency responses of digital filters
- Must be able to implement filters in practice, making use of
appropriate filter structures, quantization, and scaling.
Competences
- Shall be able to discuss fundamental theories and methods for
analysis and processing of digital signals, using correct
terminology
- Shall be able to assess opportunities and limitations in
connection with practical application of taught theories and
methods
Type of instruction
The programme is based on a combination of academic,
problem-oriented and interdisciplinary approaches and organised
based on the following work and evaluation methods that combine
skills and reflection:
- Lectures
- Classroom instruction
- Project work
- Workshops
- Exercises (individually and in groups)
- Teacher feedback
- Reflection
- Portfolio work
Extent and expected workload
Since it is a 5 ECTS course module, the work load is expected to
be 150 hours for the student.
