Learning objectives (competencies)

Objectives Competences Taxonomy levels
Signals:
The students are able to characterize and describe signals with properties in the time and frequency domain.
F,M K3
Transforms:
The students know the Complex Fourier series, the Fourier transform and the Discrete Fourier transform.
They can code and interpret numerical implementations and/or approximations of these transformations.
F, M K3
Systems:
Students are able to describe and interpret representations of LTI systems both in time and frequency domains.
The students know different representations for 1st and 2nd order systems and are able to code numerical simulations of such systems.

Module contents

Lecture:
- Properties of signals & LTI systems, plus mathematical basics (test signals, complex-exp, convolution)
- Display and analysis of periodic signals (Fourier series and spectrum)
- Fourier transform and properties
- Sampling and reconstruction of signals (sampling theorem, aliasing)
- Display of time-discrete signals (DFT, spectrum)
=====
- Various representations for LTI systems:
  Differential equation, frequency response, impulse response, ...
- Relationships between the different representations and physical properties of 1st and 2nd order systems (LPF, HPF and BPF)
- Simulations and calculations in time (convolution with impulse response) and frequency domain (body diagrams & filtering)

Laboratory:
- Exercises on PC + HW in groups matching the topics covered in theory
- Complementing and consolidating the theory

Teaching materials

- Script, exercises with solutions;
- PC software: Matlab
- Common electrical engineering measuring instruments (e.g. function generator, oscilloscopes, PC audio card ...)

Exams

Description Type Form Scope Grade Weighting
Graded assignments during teaching semester       evaluation 30%
End-of-semester exam written exam 90 min evaluation 70%

Remarks

The exam regulation during the "teaching semester" can be varied.
But the lecturer has to document and communicate the definitive evaluation form in a module agreement during the first week of the study semester.

Legal basis

The module description is part of the legal basis in addition to the general academic regulations. It is binding. During the first week of the semester a written and communicated supplement can specify the module description in more detail.
