Learning objectives
1) Knowledge and understanding
Goal of the course is to provide the students with the basics of the analysis of discrete-time signals, the design of digital signal processing systems and digital filtering.
2) Applying knowledge and understanding
Students learn how to analyze and design simple linear systems (digital filters) being aware of the capabilities an practical limitations of digital signal processing techniques.
Prerequisites
"Signal theory" (suggested)
Course unit content
-- Discrete-time signals and systems.
Basic signals and elementary transformations. Sampling of continuous- time signals: sampling theorem, Nyquist condition, aliasing and anti-aliasing filtering. Representation of discrete-time signals in the frequency domain: the Fourier Transform of a sequence and its properties. Discrete- time systems and their properties: linear, time invariant, memoryless, stable, causal systems. Linear time-invariant systems (LTI) and the discrete convolution. Difference equations. Analysis of LTI systems in the frequency domain: the discrete-time complex exponential, the frequency response.
-- The z-Transform.
Definition and properties. Inversion of the z-Transform. Theorems and properties of the z-Transform. Transfer function of a LTI system. Rational transfer functions. Finite impulse response (FIR) systems and infinite impulse response (IIR) systems. Stability of discrete systems.
-- The Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT).
Definition, properties and use of the DFT. Circular convolution and relationship with linear convolution. Relationship with the Fourier Transform. Efficient computation of the DFT: the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT).
-- Digital processing of analog signals.
Simulation of analog systems. Design of IIR digital filters. Design of FIR filters.
