Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will learn and understand basis of  description and analysis of discrete and continuous-time signals and systems. They will also obtain practical skills in analysis and filtering in MATLAB.

Students will deepen their knowledge in mathematics and statistics and apply it on real problems of signal processing. During the course, they will get acquainted with math- and visualization-SW Matlab.

Aims

To learn and understand basic theory of signals and linear systems with continuous and discrete time. To introduce  to random signals. The emphasis of the course is on spectral analysis and linear filtering - 2 basic building blocks of modern communication systems.
