Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Dialogic (discussion, interview, brainstorming)
  • Contact teaching - 30 hours per semester
  • Participation in classes - 52 hours per semester
  • Preparation for an exam - 40 hours per semester
  • Preparation for a credit (assessment) - 28 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the characteristics of signals and systems in continuous and discrete time. Part of the course will be acquainted with suitable tools for characterization of signals in the time and frequency domain (Fourier series, Fourier transform, DTFS, DTFT, DFT). Furthermore, students will gain knowledge about the relationship between the spectra of different types of commonly used signals. Another part of the course is devoted to band signals and related Hilbert forward and reverse transformations and their sampling.
After completing the course, the student masters the issues of processing and analysis of continuous/discrete signals, both in the time and frequency domain. These are mainly tools: - continuous/discrete signal decomposition using Fourier series - computation of the spectrum of a continuous signal using the Fourier transform - computation of the spectrum of a discrete signal using DTFT and DFT - Hilbert transform for analysis of bandpass signals
Prerequisites
Mathematical calculus at the technical university graduates level

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination

During the semester and in the final exam, the student must demonstrate an understanding of the solved problems. The specific requirements will be communicated to the students by the teacher in the first week of the semester.
