Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the representation, processing and analysis of continuous signals and systems (filters) used in the communication system and control technology. The course includes representation, modelling of continuous signals and systems, tools for the analysis of continuous periodic and non-periodic signals in the time and frequency domain. Part of the course is the design of continuous systems with the required characteristics, both by solving differential equations and by Laplace transform. The final part of the course is devoted to the description and design of continuous (analogue) filters and state description of continuous systems.
The students acquire theoretically and practise knowledge from the area of continuous signals processing and analysis in time and frequency domain. The student is also familiar with the design of continuous systems according to specific requirements, determining the output of the system (filter design).
Prerequisites
Mathematical calculus at the technical university graduates level

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination, Home assignment evaluation, Student performance assessment, Work-related product analysis, Didactic test, Discussion, Systematic monitoring, Class observation, Presentation

During the semester and in the final exam, the student must demonstrate an understanding of the solved problems. The teacher will communicate the specific requirements to the students in the first week of the semester. 1) Active participation in the exercises and non-knowledge of the issues discussed (basic relationships and laws will lead to an unexcused class. Excerpts or lectures are allowed during the exercises. 2) Attendance of at least 80% (excused and unexcused absences count) 3) Late arrival to class by a maximum of 10 minutes, then unexcused practice. 4) Completion of all homework assignments (approximately 10 homework assignments) Prerequisites: Oral exam, student will be given 3 questions from the topics covered. The student can get a maximum of 1 point from each question, i.e. 3 points maximum. A minimum of 0.5 points is required for each question. Evaluation: Maximum points / Minimum points for credit Homework 30 / 20 Exam 3 / 1.5 Assessment table according to points: A 3-2,7 B 2,69 - 2,4 C 2,39 - 2,1 D 2,09 - 1,8 E 1,79 - 1,5 F <1,5
