James Cook University Subject Handbook - 2018

CC2011 - Digital Signal Processing

Credit points: 03
Year: 2018
Student Contribution Band: Band 2
Administered by: College of Science and Engineering

This subject introduces the theory and methods of acquiring and manipulating time-varying signals using a digital computer. It covers the effects of sampling and aliasing, time domain and frequency domain representations, the Fast Fourier Transform, windowing techniques, signal convolution and correlation and filtering. Students will learn how to develop digital signal processing software, and gain experience about practical signal processing applications.
