Basic consepts for continous time and discrete time signalse (i.e. linearity, time invariances, causality and stability), convolution, difference and differential equations, impulse responses, transforms (Fourier, Z-, and Laplace transforms), frequency domain analysis, transfer functions.
Learning outcome
Knowledge:
- Understand the connection between continuous time and discrete time signals and the role of digital signal processing in the processing of continuous time signals.
- Engage in qualified reasoning on technical problems involving fundamental concepts in signals and systems, particularly the relationship between inputs and outputs of linear time invariant systems.
Skills:
- Perform input/output calculations for linear time invariant systems both in the time and in the transform domain.
- Use Matlab for elementary signal processing tasks.
General competance:
- Upon course completion, the student have established a basic understanding of fundamental concepts in signal and systems theory.

Course assessment
The faculty decides whether early dialogue will be held in all courses or in selected groups of courses. The aim is to collect student feedback for improvements during the semester. In addition, a digital course evaluation must be conducted at least every three years to gather students’ experiences.
