Prerequisites
General Prerequisites
Prior exposition to linear algebra, calculus of functions of one independent real variable, complex analysis, and differential equations can facilitate the faster grasping of the concepts introduced.
Learning Outcomes
Cognitive: Thorough grasp of signals as information bearing carriers. Acquaintance with linear system theory; Unified and comparative treatment of continuous-time and discrete-time signals and systems; Introduce the frequency content of a signal as latent information inherent in its time-domain representation. Treatment of discrete-time signal transforms as algorithms of their continuous-time counterparts. Skills: Promoting analytic skills; Building the necessary theoretical foundation for the transition from system analysis to system design and proceeding to advanced studies in image processing, speech and audio processing, biomedical signal processing. Programming speech processing and audio coding applications in MATLAB.
General Competences
  • Apply knowledge in practice
  • Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
  • Adapt to new situations
  • Make decisions
  • Work autonomously
  • Advance free, creative and causative thinking
Course Content (Syllabus)

Student Assessment
Description
a.1 Six lab exercises are offered in the course. The attendance of the lab exercises is compulsory. Students' performance in the lab exercises contributes up to 3 grades in their grading. a.2 A mid-term exam is organized around the 7th semester week. Students' participation in the mid-term exam is optional. Students' papers in the mid-term exam contribute up to 3.5 grades in their grading. a.3 To reward the hard-working students and to motivate lecture attendance, ten-min tests are conducted without prior notice during the semester. The tests aim at assessing if the topics discussed in the class are made clear to the students. No preparation is needed. In addition, optional homework projects are assigned to interested students. Students' performance in the tests and projects contributes up to 2 bonus grades. a.4 The final exams during January and September cover all topics taught. Students' paper rating contributes up to 7 grades in their grading. The papers are divided into two equal parts. The first part covers the topics taught up to the mid-term exam and the second one the remaining topics. Students, who participated in the mid-term exams, may choose to be examined in either the second part of the paper or the full paper. The students are promoted if their final grade is greater than or equal to 5.
