Course history

Introduction

The course describe the analysis and processing of signals in the frequency domain and analysis of systems for signal processing.

Recommended preliminary courses

MEK1000 Mathematics 1000, ELPE1300 Electric circuits, ELTS2100 Electronics.

Required preliminary courses

No requirements over and above the admission requirements.

Learning outcomes

After completing this course, the student has the following learning outcomes, defined as knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

The student

  • understands the relationship between impulse response and frequency response for electrical systems
  • has good knowledge of frequency selective circuits
  • has knowledge of active filter circuits
  • knowledge of transforms such as Fourier and Laplace
  • knowledge of Fourier series

Skills

The student

  • can calculate transients in circuits using the Laplace transform
  • can use and design the various types of filters based on RL, RC and RLC circuits.
  • can use active filter circuits with operational amplifiers
  • can describe and analyze signals with the Fourier transform
  • can calculate Fourier coefficients for a periodic waveform (exponential form)
  • can analyze a circuit using Fourier coefficients and superposition

General competence

The student

  • can analyze a problem and specify a solution methodology
  • can justify their own choices and priorities within signal processing

Content

The course includes the following topics:

  • Signal processing
  • Impulse and frequency response
  • Fourier and Laplace transform
  • Frequency selective circuits such as passive and active filters
  • Fourier series.

Teaching and learning methods

Lectures and exercises including use of MATLAB or Python/Jupyter

Course requirements

The following work requirements are mandatory and must be approved in order to appear for the exam:

  • 5 out of 10 exercises are compulsory.
  • The exercises are carried out in groups of 4 students
  • The groups are put together by the lecturer
  • Group submissions are made in the form of lab protocols

Assessment

Individual written exam under supervision 3 hours.

The result of the exam can be appealed.

In the event of a resit or rescheduled exam, an oral examination may be used instead. In case an oral exam is used, the examination result cannot be appealed.

Permitted exam materials and equipment

Table of formulas - (title and isbn will be available at start of the semester)

A handheld calculator that cannot be used for wireless communication or to perform symbolic calculations. If the calculator’s internal memory can store data, the memory must be deleted before the exam. Random checks may be carried out.

Grading scale

Graded scale A-F

Examiners

One internal sensor. External sensor is used regularly.

In case of a continuation exam, the exam can be oral with two internal sensors.
