Aims

The aim of the course is to provide students with an overview and information in digital signal processing. The emphasis is placed to frequency and spectral analysis and digital filtering of signals.
Student is able to:
- describe the types of physical signals,
- interpret the basic principles of data analysis methods,
- explain the importance of orthogonal transformations and give examples,
- explain the principles of FFT algorithms and methods for time - frequency analysis,
- describe the principles of wavelet transformations and discuss the results,
- explain the results of spectral and cepstral analysis,
- explain the principles of digital signal filtering,
- design a filter with the required properities.
