FSI-VSG Acad. year: 2021/2022 Winter semester

Continuous and discrete time signals and systems. Spectral analysis in continuous time – Fourier series and Fourier transform. Systems with continuous time. Sampling and reconstruction. Discrete-time signals and their frequency analysis: Discrete Fourier series and Discrete-time Fourier transform. Discrete systems. Two-dimensional signals and systems. Random signals.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will deepen their knowledge in mathematics and statistics and apply it to real problems of signal processing.

Prerequisites

Mathematical Analysis (M1, M3)

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

ASSESSMENT POINTS

51 exam, 25 half-term test, 12 labs, 12 projects

Language of instruction

Czech

Aims

To learn and understand the basic theory of signals and linear systems with continuous and discrete time. To introduce to random signals. The emphasis of the course is on spectral analysis and linear filtering – two basic building blocks of modern communication and machine learning systems.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

participation in numerical exercises is not checked, but tests are conducted in them, each worth 2 points.
Groups in numerical exercises are organized according to inscription into schedule frames.
Replacing missed exercises (and obtaining the points) is possible by (1) attending the exercise and the test with another group, (2) solving all tasks in given assignment and presenting them to the tutor, (3) examination by the tutor or course responsible after an appointment. Options (2) and (3) are valid max. 14 days after the missed exercises, not retroactively at the end of the course.
