The course is connected to the following study programs

Compulsory course in Bachelor of Engineering, Study Programme: Electronics - Digital Electronics.

Lecture Semester

5th semester (autumn).

The student's learning outcomes after completing the course

Knowledge

The student has

•  knowledge of basic digital signal processing and cental algorithm in the subject

Skills

The student can handle

• manual and computerized methods for analysis and synthesis of digital signaling systems
• the realization of signal processing algorithms when programming a digital signal processor

General competence

The student knows

• the use of digital signal processors and principles for programming signal processing algorithms

Content

The subject contains two main topics: Signal conditioning and realization of DSP algorithms.

Signal conditioning:

• Differential equations
• Impulse response
• Convolution
• Frequency response (Fourier analysis)
• Z transformation
• Analysis and synthesis of digital filters (FIR, IIR)
• Digital Spectral Analysis (DFT, FFT)
• Analysis of time-continuous signals
• Filter Construction (FIR, IIR)

Realization of DSP algorithms:

• Characteristics of architecture and functionality for digital signal processors (DSP) 
• Realization of signal processing algorithms using C Programming
• Practical exercises that include the use of a standard development platform

Forms of teaching and learning

The teaching is conducted as lectures, theoretical exercises and practical assignments in the laboratory.
