• Amplitude modulation;
• Angle modulation;
• Analogue filters;
• Discrete signals and systems;
• Random processes;
• Generating digital signals (sampling and quantisation);
• Fourier transform for discrete signals (DTFT/DFT);
• Digital filter (FIR and IIR) design;

Learning Outcomes

  • At the conclusion of this course you should be able to:

  • LO1: Describe and apply appropriate theories and mathematical techniques for use in analogue and digital signal processing (WA1, WA2)

  • LO2: Differentiate types of analogue and digital filters, and apply these filters in signal processing applications (WA2, WA3, WA4)

  • LO3: Process analogue and digital signals using contemporary mathematical techniques and tools for communication and other systems. (WA3, WA4, WA5)

  • LO4: Work collaboratively in a team environment (WA9)

      • University Graduate Attributes

      This course will provide students with an opportunity to develop the Graduate Attributes specified below:
