Credit level (Normal year taken)SCQF Level 11 (Postgraduate) AvailabilityNot available to visiting students
SCQF Credits10 ECTS Credits5
SummaryThe course will teach students to solve simple problems in the areas of communications and signal processing in a MATLAB environment. The course will reinforce material taught in the co-requisite courses and provide practical experience of signal and image processing implementation in preparation for the project. The course will be composed of programming sessions and course assignments covering discrete time signal analysis, communications and image processing.
Course description Course contents:
1. A set of assessed programming sessions run weekly covering:
- Introduction to signal processing in MATLAB;
- generating time domain signals;
- simulating continuous and sampled signals;
- calculating the DFT, its properties and implementation;
- signal and image filtering;
- power spectral density estimation.

2. Course assignments to be completed outside of lab hours. Example exercises could be: simulating an adaptive noise cancellation problem, estimating frequencies and noise power in a time domain signal, simulating a simple modulation / demodulation and detection scheme.

Learning Outcomes
Students are required to formulate solutions to practical communications, signal and image processing problems and to code, debug and run these in MATLAB. Specific learning outcomes are:

1. Understanding of how to use MATAB to simulate and analyze signal and image processing algorithms.

2. Reinforce the practical understanding of other 1st semester courses, Discrete-Time Signal Analysis PGEE11026; Digital Communication Fundamentals PGEE11025; Statistical Signal Processing PGEE11027; Image Processing PGEE11021 through practical labs and marked assignments.
Reading List
