Intended learning outcomes

After completing this course, students should be able to:

• explain the relation between timecontinuous and timediscret signals
• explain the difference between time- and frequency domains for signals
• apply Fourier-, Laplace- and Z-transforms for calculus
• design digital filters for signalprocessing
• describe the basic properties for adaptive signalprocessing
• to individually write an academic report in Swedish

Course content

Mathematical models of signals and signal processing systems. Properties such as linearity, causality, stationarity and periodicity. Spectral representation of signals using Fourier series and Fourier transforms. Spectrograms. Sampling and recontstruction; aliasing and folding. Linear systems and filter: analysis and synthesis using the z-transform. Written report in Swedish.

Teaching and working methods

The teaching is given in lectures, classes, and lab exercises. In the laboratory work an individually written report in Swedish is included.
