Course detail
Introduction to Signal Processing
FSI-RSZ-A Acad. year: 2024/2025 Winter semester
The subject gives the introduction to theory of digital signal processing of one dimensional signals. The gained knowledge will be used in practical examples using Matlab software. The emphasis in the subject is on understanding the basic terms and processing method of the field (signal, sampling, discretization, quantizing, convolution, Fourier transform, IIR and FIR filters)

Supervisor
Entry knowledge
fundamentals of Matlab (or Octave), in particular: working with matrices, vectors, simple graphs, basics of programming
Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
Course unit credist will be awarded based on evaluation of the project. In the project the student has to prove the ability to solve given task: design of the filter for onedimensional signal using Matlab
Attendance at practical training is obligatory. Attendance is checked systematically by the teachers, as well as students’ active participation in the seminars and fundamental knowledge. Unexcused absence is the cause for not awarding the course-unit credit. One absence can be compensated for by attending a seminar with another study group in the same week, or by solving supplemental tasks. Longer absence may be compensated for by solving supplemental tasks according to teacher’s requirements.
Aims
The goal of the subject is to introduce to the students the fundamentals of signal processing, mainly the diginal processing of one dimensional signals. The practical tasks realized in Matlab are the essential part of the course.
The students will be able after passing the course to understand the basic terms in the signal processing field, analyze onedimensional signal and design filter for given application using Matlab.
