Digital Signal Processing and Mathematics 2 (Spring 2013)

Course code : EDSM2-U01
ECTS Credits : 10 Status : Compulsory
Revised : 31/01 2013 Written : 29/05 2008
Placement : 2. semester Hours per week : 8
Length : 1 semester Teaching Language : English

Objective : Purpose:
Development of mathematical key competences for engineers in the field of electronics and IT. The course balances a theoretical and an applicational aim, with emphasis on project-orientation and the use of computers.

Learning outcomes:
The student must be able to:
• Explain the concepts of aliasing.
• Analyze digital FIR and IIR filters using the concepts: Convolution, difference equation, impulse response, Z-transform and frequency response.
• Design FIR and IIR Filters from a set of specifications using MATLAB functions.
• Apply the design tools of MATLAB to calculate the filter coefficients.
• Implement and test digital filters using MATLAB.

Non-technical skills:
The student must be able to:
• Work out written reports in connection to the course assignments.
• Collect information and acquire new knowledge.
• Communicate technical problems in writing and speech.
• Cooperate in groups.
Principal Content : - Analysis of discrete-time linear systems in the time- and frequency- domains.
- Design and implementation of digital FIR filters on a digital signal processor including A/D and D/A converters.
- MATLAB is used as simulation tools with the goal of supporting the learning process.
Teaching method : Classroom teaching, problem solving in groups and exercises. Throughout the course students work in groups on course assignments.
Required prequisites : Documented knowledge corresponding to MATE1.
Recommended prerequisites : -Thorough knowledge of complex numbers and experience with MATLAB
Relations : EDSM2 is compulsory for students in Electronics and Computer Engineering, and it is an optional course for students in Information and Communication Technology.
Type of examination : Look under remarks
External examiner : External
Marking : 7 step scale
Remarks : In the beginning of the semester, the students form the project-groups. The group-size should be 3-5 students. In special cases, the teacher can accept smaller groups. Each group will have a supervisor to support their project-work and carry out the exam.
If a group member repeatedly violates the group agreements, the group can recommend him/her for exclusion.
If a student does not contribute to the project-work, he/she will be refused admission to the exam.

Oral exam:
The exam is individual, and each student is examined about 20-30 minutes. The exam consists of two parts. One where supervisor and the external examiner will ask questions about the project-report and a second part where supervisor and the external examiner will ask questions concerning an assignment the students have solved at home 3 working days before the examination.
The assessment is based on the project-report, the oral performance and the functionality of the product.

After the exam:
If the student has questions about the exam and wants the result to be explained further, he may contact the supervisor by e-mail to make an appointment.. Students who fail to pass the exam may be guided to prepare for a re-examination. This consultation takes preferably place by the start of the following semester.
