Description Students will develop an understanding of the fundamental concepts and principles in digital signal processing by applying the theory learned in their classes to practical exercises. The subject matter includes discrete-time signals and systems, the z-transform, sampling of continuous-time signals, transform analysis of linear time-invariant systems, filter design techniques, structures for discrete-time systems, the discrete Fourier transform and computation of the discrete Fourier transform.
