Fourier analysis, Fourier transform, Laplace transform, transfer functions, frequency responses, sampling theorem, Bode diagrams, stability, design of analogue filters.
- Knowledge Broadening
Graduates are familiar with the various forms of representation of discrete signals and systems. They can classify the terms in a mathematical context (signal spaces) and are able to implement elementary filtering methods.
- Knowledge deepening
Graduates of this module use digital signal processing methods (window techniques, filters, correlation, etc.) in accordance with the requirements of the technical application.
- Application and Transfer
Graduates will be able to apply the methods taught in the lecture and will have knowledge of the relevant tools for numerical synthesis and analysis (Matlab, Octave, Scilab, etc.).
