Signal processing and telecommunications
Presentation
Random signals: random processes, stationary signals, correlation, ergodicity, covariance, spectral density.
Digital filters: Fast Fourier Transform, digital systems and signals, structure and properties of recursive and non-recursive filters, design methods and practical implementations.
Introduction to telecommunications: symbol and bit rates, transmission channels, multiplexing, baseband coding, modulations, spread spectrum, eye diagram, constellations, introduction to frames (signaling, synchronization…).
Organisation:
Lect. (28.75 h), Sem. (28.75 h), Lab (11 h), Evaluation (4 h).
Main difficulties for students:
Basic maths missing.
Objectives
At the end of this module, the student will have understood and be able to explain (main concepts):
- Definitions related to random signals
- Basis in spectral analysis
- Structure and design methods of digital filters
- Vocabulary and basic principles of telecommunication systems
The students will be able to devise a simple digital filter and to choose one communication protocol given application requirements
Form of assessment
The evaluation of outcome prior learning is made as a continuous training during the semester. According ot the teaching, the assessment will be different: as a written exam, an oral exam, a record, a written report, peers review...
