Signals and Systems
Professors
Prerequisites:
- Advanced Mathematics
Pedagogical objectives:
The concepts of signals and systems are powerful tools for any engineer dealing with information bearing, measurable physical quantities. Areas of applications include, among others, communications engineering, signal processing, control engineering, and systems engineering. The students will be able to classify, interpret, and compare signals and systems with respect to their characteristic properties. They can explain and apply analytical and numerical methods to analyse and synthesize signals and systems in time and frequency domain. Suitable signal transformations can be chosen and calculated with the help of transformation tables. The students can recognize stochastic signals and analyse them based on their characteristic properties. They can calculate and interpret the influence of linear time-invariant systems on stochastic signals.
Evaluation modalities:
Oral exam.
