Summary
The subject deals with basic mathematical methods which are applied for analysis and processing of the signals with target of the important information extraction. In a context of the subject, the algorithm procedures for the signals processing in the time, frequency, and time-frequency domain are discussed. The second part of the subject deals with the mathematical methods for analysis and modeling of the systems with the continuous time.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The purpose of the course is to provide a common background for B.SC courses in control, communication, electronic circuits, filter design, digital signal processing.
Student will be able to set out the basic correlation and spectral characteristics of different signals.
The student will be able to perform the analysis of LTIL system and to use MATLAB/Simulink for signal and system analysis.
