Description The overarching objective of the module is to develop in the participants practical time-invariant digital signal system design skills. The module focusses on prototypical linear time invariant systems and aims to be the stepping off point for more advanced modules in adaptive, non-linear and time varying systems. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Learning Outcomes 1. Describe the fundamental properties of linear time invariant systems 2. State, prove and apply Shannon's sampling theorem 3. Relate signal to noise ratio (SNR) to number of samples averaged in signal sampling and averaging systems 4. Compute the impulse response of DSP systems and combine it with convolution techniques to compute DSP system response for any arbitrary input (and vice versa). 5. Write down, state the properties of, and apply Fourier Transforms and Z-Transforms in DSP systems 6. Design, obtain the properties of and code basic window (or apodization) functions 7. Design basic finite impulse response (FIR) and infinite impulse response (IIR) filters | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
