Module Specifications.

Current Academic Year 2024 - 2025

All Module information is indicative, and this portal is an interim interface pending the full upgrade of Coursebuilder and subsequent integration to the new DCU Student Information System (DCU Key).

As such, this is a point in time view of data which will be refreshed periodically. Some fields/data may not yet be available pending the completion of the full Coursebuilder upgrade and integration project. We will post status updates as they become available. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Description

To provide the student with an understanding of modelling and analysis techniques for signals and systems.

Learning Outcomes

1. Derive and calculate an expression for the frequency response of a LTI system.
2. Simulate frequency responses.
3. Perform Fourier analysis of continuous and discrete-time signals and systems.
4. Compute the time-domain response of continuous and discrete-time systems.
5. Analyse continuous and discrete-time filters.

Reassessment Requirement Type
Resit arrangements are explained by the following categories:
Resit category 1: A resit is available for both* components of the module.
Resit category 2: No resit is available for a 100% continuous assessment module.
Resit category 3: No resit is available for the continuous assessment component where there is a continuous assessment and examination element.
* ‘Both’ is used in the context of the module having a Continuous Assessment/Examination split; where the module is 100% continuous assessment, there will also be a resit of the assessment
This module is category 1
