5 ECTS Credits
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of the course, students should be able to
-describe and analyse discrete-time signals and systems mathematically
-use these mathematical descriptions to design and analyse digital filters meeting specified
requirements
-implement the digital filters.
Content and Form of Instruction
Methods to describe and analyse discrete-time signals and systems and to design and analyse
digital filters are discussed theoretically in lectures (see components below). The digital filters
are implemented in supervised laboratory work.
Discrete-time signals and systems and how these can be described and analysed mathematically
using impulse response and discrete Fourier transform. Description and analysis of multifrequent
signals and systems.
Design and analysis of digital filters of finite and infinite impulse response type.
Implementation and analysis of digital filters which amongst others includes number
quantisation and quick algorithms for calculating the discrete Fourier transform.
Modulation Theory, 7.5 ECTS Credits
Learning Outcomes
After the course the student should be able to:
- describe with word and equations the basic analog and digital modulation methods, with
emphasis on signal format, frequency content and bandwidth.
- describe the basic principles for analog and digital demodulation methods, superheterodyne
receivers, and the phase locked loop used as frequency stabilizer and FM-demodulator.
- describe the basic concepts, components and building blocks of an electronic communication
system.
- do calculations using Friis' transmission equation and link budget on simple communication
links.
- do calculations on thermal noise, noise factor, equivalent noise temperature and signal-to-noise
ratio (S/N) in a system with cascaded components.
- describe the basic FM radio and TV techniques.
Content and Form of Instruction
- use the maximum likelihood method and the least squares method for parameter estimation
- use numerical methods for implementation of parameter estimation methods
- solve practical parameter estimation problems in engineering and science
