ELEC ENG 7079 - Principles of Signal Processing

Discrete time (DT) signals and systems are commonplace in engineering. It is essential for practicing electronic engineers to have a sound foundation in DT concepts and fluency in linear processing of DT signals. It is a core course in the Electronic specialisation, and an elective in the Electrical specialisation of the Master of Engineering program. Students will learn the fundamental principles and techniques of DT signals and systems, apply linear processing to solve practical problems in electronic, computer and information engineering. These skills will be developed concurrently in both time and transform (z and Fourier) Fourier domains. The course is delivered on campus, with an in-person component centred around workshops, and supported by tutorials. Learning activities include group discussions and individual written and Matlab exercises. Assessment activities include workshop and tutorial participation, individual assignments, tests and a final exam. The set of assessments is designed to allow students to demonstrate their knowledge in DSP and skills in solving problems with DSP techniques. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to apply linear digital processing methods to engineering analysis and problem solving. It will allow students to work or pursue further studies in areas including, but not limited to: control, telecommunications, biomedical engineering and machine learning.
