Student, who enrolls for the course, should know basic definitions and characteristics of signals and systems with both continuous and discrete time, including their mathematical description and representation in the frequency domain, and also know basic types of probability density and distribution functions and have knowledge of the signal sampling and filtration. It is also assumed that student can compute the derivative and integral of a function, modify equations with logarithms, complex numbers and trigonometric functions, solve linear equations and use the MATLAB software. In general, the bachelor level knowledge from the area of mathematics and physics are required.
Every student who wants to participate in laboratory exercises must have a qualification according to §6, vyhl. 50/1978 Sb., which the student must obtain before his/her first laboratory exercise!

The final grade depends on total sum of points obtained during the laboratory measurements, computer simulations, professional trainings and written exam of the course. Student can get:
- up to 10 points for all laboratory measurements, during them student always obtain points at the end of each lesson when teacher verify correctness of results measured and conclusions stated in the given protocol,
- up to 10 points for the professional trainings according to the result of computer quiz of student’s knowledge which is usually on the program after the 5th training,
- up to 10 points for all computer exercises, during them student obtain points for correctly processed tasks submitted in-time,
- up to 70 points for final exam, which has a written form.
Only students who have completed all laboratory measurements, all professional trainings and have more than 0 points from the computer quiz of their knowledge can take the final exam. If the examinator has a problem with the evaluation of the written exam, he/she can put supplement oral questions to the student. Each student can take the computer quiz only once.
All laboratory measurements and professional trainings are compulsory. If the student duly apologize his/her absence, missed exercises, measurements and trainings could be repeated in agreement with the teacher, but no later than the last week of the teaching period.
