Course description
Fundamentals of time-discrete signals (signals, signal classification, time and frequency space). Sampling (sampling theorem, effects of sampling in time and frequency domain). Discrete-time systems (linear time- invariant discrete systems, causality, differential equations and discrete linear systems, impulse response , the discrete – time systems structure, implementation) . Frequency analysis of discrete – time signals. Discrete Fourier transform (Fast Fourier transform algorithms, fast discrete filtering using FFT). Z-transform (Z transform and inverse Z transform , application in digital signal processing , rational Z transform, time behaviour and roots of rational Z transform) . Analysis and synthesis of discrete time systems in frequency domain (transfer function of the system, analysis of systems with rational Z transfer function, stability, frequency response). Digital filter design (finite response filters, the infinite response filters). Random signal generators (uniform distribution, Gaussian white noise). Signal quantisation (analogue-to- digital conversion, quantizers, and quantization errors).
