Entry knowledge

Students should have basic knowledge of mathematics and physical description of the signal, which they obtain in the obligatory courses in their previous study. Taking those courses is not a prerequisite for signing up for this course.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

0-20 points - written test on exercises (optional part).
0-10 points - test using computers and software, (optional part).
0-70 points - written exam, compulsory part of the completion of the course.
The exam is focused on verifying students’ orientation in the basic problems of digital processing, their description, calculation methods, characterization of system analysis, and synthesis of digital systems.

The content and forms of instruction in the evaluated course are specified by a regulation issued by the lecturer responsible for the course and updated for every academic year.

Aims

The aim of the course is to provide students with a coherent explanation of the basic theory of digital signal processing with an emphasis on understanding the computational algorithms used in digital processing. Particularly emphasized are methods for describing digital systems, especially digital filters. The course is closed by discussions about the implementation of DSP algorithms in microprocessors and digital signal processors.
Students of the course Digital signal processing will understand the basic algorithms for digital signal processing and will be able to independently apply and model the basic functions of digital processing in Matlab. They will have a basic idea of the implementation of the algorithms on microprocessors and digital signal processors. Students will primarily become familiar with the terms:
- Discrete signals and their description
- Discrete systems and their description
- Status of description systems
- Z-Transform and its application in solving digital systems
- Frequency analysis of discrete signals
- Discrete system - frequency selective filter
- Discrete Fourier transform
- Technical means of digital signal processing
