Signal Processing in Telecommunications II

The course focuses on fundamental principles and methods of signal processing during its transmission through the communication chain. Students will learn the concepts of frequency, spectrum of signal and their meanings.
Furthermore, they will learn basic signal transforms and their influence on the spectrum. They will learn the meaning of Fourier series, Fourier transform, window functions and Short-time Fourier transform. They will learn the principles of 1D and 2D signals sampling and phenomena that occur during sampling (aliasing, leakage, moiré). They will learn the principles of 1D and 2D discrete Fourier transform and Discrete cosine transform. Furthermore, students will learn two-dimensional Fourier transform and its importance for optical imaging in optical communications. At the end of the course students will be introduced to the concept of kepstrum and its use in applications of speech signal processing (speech to text), speaker recognition, text to speech.
