Entry knowledge

The subject knowledge on the Bachelor´s degree level with emphasis on digital signal processing is required. Furthermore, the basic ability to program in the Matlab environment is necessary.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Lab exercises are mandatory for successfully passing this course and students have to obtain the required credits. They can get 15 points in computer labs and 15 points in numerical exercises. The remaining of 70 points (out of 100) can be obtained by successfully passing the final exam.
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 present modern methods of 1D and 2D digital signal processing and discrete system analysis. Furthermore, the students will learn about parametric and non-parametric spectral analysis of stochastic signals and about mathematical statistics. They will know how to use linear prediction and how to process signals using digital filter banks with different sampling frequencies in real practise.
On completion of the course, students are able to:
- define, describe and visualize 1D and 2D signals
- calculate Fourier, cosine, Hilbert, wavelet and Z transform of discrete signal
- define discrete systems and analyse their properties using different methods
- change signal sampling frequency
- use analytical and complex signal
- use a bank of digital filters
- perform a short-time spectral analysis using Gabor or short-time Fourier transform
- mathematically describe stochastic processes and test statistical hypotheses
- use linear predictive analysis
- estimate power spectral density using parametric and non-parametric methods
- use cepstral analysis and homomorphic filtering
- perform discrete-time signal and system analysis in Matlab
