Description
Three parts in this module
Lectures and tutorials on Fourier analysis
Demonstration lab on the use of signal analysis in everyday objects
Objectives
Master the basic tools used to characterize signals and systems and implement the basic methods of signal analysis and processing used in the most common applications (communications, audio and video electronics, automotive, geophysics, acoustics, medical, etc.).
Skills
- describe, represent, and analyze continuous and discrete deterministic signals
- know and use Fourier series and Fourier transforms
- Know and use the standard operator in signal processing: the convolution product.
- understand and know how to use Parseval's theorem
- move from the analog domain to the discrete domain
