The purpose of the course is to provide a common background for BS courses in control and communicastion. It is oriented in digital signal processing and digital filter design.
The course Digital Signals and Systems introduces discrete-time and digital signals and systems. It is a subsequent course to the BS course Foundation of Signals and Systems which is devoted mainly to continuous-time signals and systems.
The course introduces fhe following five major topics: 1. Fundamental concepts (causality, linearity, time-invariance, lumpedness and their applications) 2. Signal analysis (discrete-time Fourier transform, frequency spectrum and its computations) 3. System analysis (LTIL system analysis, the difference equations, z-transform) 4. Stabilities and their implications (filtering, frequency response, model reduction and memory circuits) 5. State variable equations and computer simulations (numerical methods, simulation means).
