Undergraduate Course: Digital Signal Analysis 4 (ELEE10010)

Course Outline
SchoolSchool of Engineering CollegeCollege of Science and Engineering
Credit level (Normal year taken)SCQF Level 10 (Year 4 Undergraduate) AvailabilityAvailable to all students
SCQF Credits10 ECTS Credits5
SummaryThe aim of this course is to impart a knowledge and understanding of statistical analysis of signals and systems when considered in the time and frequency domains, and to enable the student to formally analyse systems through the use of spectral analysis and correlations. The student will also be able to take account of the effects of sampling in the time and frequency domain and understand how these affect the practical analysis procedures. The students will design a finite impulse response digital filter. An appreciation of simple sample rate changes and their effect on the filter design process would also be expected. At the end of the course the student will develop skills to use matched and Wiener filters for practical problems.

Learning Outcomes
After successful completion of this course a student should be able to:

- explain the relationships between and be able to manipulate time domain and frequency domain representations of signals;

- apply correlation techniques to an analytic or numerical problem, and relate the outcome to the statistical properties of the signal source(s);

- correctly define probability density functions and cumulative distribution functions, and be able to manipulate them to find moments of random variables and their sums;

- define the distinctions between wide-sense stationary, stationary, and ergodic processes, and be able to reason to which category a random process belongs;

- derive the power spectrum of a signal;

- define techniques for calculating moments in spectral and temporal domains;

- explain the importance of linear phase filter design and apply window techniques to design a FIR filter;

- evaluate power spectral density at the output of a linear filter given the PSD at the input and perform a spectral factorisation on the output of a simple linear filter;

- recall how the discrete Fourier transform arises and recognise the effect of resolution and windowing functions upon the discrete Fourier transform;

- analyse the effects of downsampling and upsampling on a signal and recognise the importance of decimation and interpolation filtering;

- explain the basis of matched filtering and be able to determine an appropriate filter for a given problem;

- apply a Wiener filter to the detection of a signal corrupted by additive noise, and for signal prediction.
