SIGNAL PROCESSING AND CONTROL
ELE5FPC
2015
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject, students are introduced to digital signal processing (DSP) and linear control systems. Students first study necessary analytical DSP and control systems skills including Fourier analysis, linear systems z-transform, Laplace transform, stability analysis, state-space techniques and frequency response methods. Then they apply these skills to a range of real world problems such as removing noise from audio, speech and digital images and the analysis of characteristics and performance of feedback control systems. The DSP element of this subject is an excellent preparation for a career in multimedia processing while the study of linear control systems develops essential engineering skills to analyze and design physical systems.
