Summary
Filtering (analogue and digital filters – FIR and IIR filter design), sampling (Shannon theorem), signal taxonomy (deterministic and stochastic signals), analysis of signals in the time and frequency domain, Fourier transform (FFT, DIT, DIF, butterfly algorithms), frequency spectra (time window, overlay, averaging in the time domain), frequency response (noise and impulse responses), synchronous averaging in the time domain, analytical signal (Hilbert transform), envelope analysis, phase demodulation, tracking filters, signal resampling.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The aim of the lectures on signal processing is to give students basic knowledge of the theory of digital filters, Fourier and wavelet transform, FFT techniques, spectral and correlation analysis, evaluation autospekter, cross-spectrum and frequency characteristics. The lecture describes the evaluation methods of frequency spectra of deterministic and stochastic signals, the method of selecting the time window, overlapping blocks of averaging and spectral averaging alone. Theoretical lectures are combined with demonstrations of examples of the measured signals and evaluating the possibilities of using theory in practice. Understanding the methods used in signal processing to analysis and measurement applications, design of computer applications for data processing (filtering and frequency analysis). The aim is to reach independent decisions and evaluate the measured data and the method of their processing.
Course Contents
