EE4000:03

Signal Processing 3

Townsville

Prerequisites: EE2000 EE2201

39 lectures, 21 tutorials, 18 hours practicals. First semester.

Available to level 3 and level 4 engineering and science students.

This subject develops the background to the sampling and processing of signals in a digital environment, including effects of sampling, time domain to frequency domain transforms, convolution and correlation of sequences, window and filter specification and design and analysis of frequency domain characteristics of signals and processes.

Learning Objectives:

  1. the characteristics of sampled signals and mechanisms for sampling;
  2. the principles, application and interpretation of Discrete and Fast Fourier Transforms;
  3. the principles, application and interpretation of Convolution and Correlation (in terms of digital signal processing);
  4. the principles, application and interpretation of windowing techniques, the Z-transform and Bilinear Z-transform;
  5. specification and design of digital FIR and IIR filters, including from analogue the prototypes.

Assessment by examination (50%-70%); on-course assessment (30%-50%).
