Learning outcomes
The course introduces students to the representation, processing and analysis of discrete signals and systems (filters) used in communication and control technology. The course includes representation issues, modelling of discrete signals and systems, and tools for analysing discrete periodic and non-periodic signals in the time and frequency domain. The course includes designing discrete systems with desired characteristics by solving differential equations and z-transform. The final part of the course deals with sampling and subsequent quantisation of continuous signals and the state description of discrete signals.
The student will gain knowledge of digital signal processing and analysis in the time and frequency domain. Furthermore, the student will be introduced to A/D conversion of continuous signals and analysis of discrete systems in the time and frequency domain.
Prerequisites
Mathematical calculus at the technical university graduates level

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Home assignment evaluation

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
