Summary
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).
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The purpose of the course Digital Signals and Systems is to provide a common background for digital signal processing and digital filter design.


Student will master the analysis of both the discrete-time signal and discrete time LTIL system. The correlation analysis and spectral analysis of signal and system will be discussed. Laboratory work will be made in MATLAB and in MATLAB/Simulink toolbox environment.
