SAVAZZI PIETRO (titolare) - 6 ECTS
Prerequisites
Basic concepts in analog signal processing, spectral analysis and filtering.
Learning outcomes
Developing a strong working knowledge on signal processing algorithms for modeling discrete-time signals, designing optimum digital filters, estimating the power spectrum of a random signal, and designing and implementing linear and nonlinear adaptive filters.
Ability to implement the studied algorithms in Matlab standalone and hardware-oriented applications.
Course contents
Introduction to digital signal theory.

Discrete time signals, sampling theorem, linear shift invariant digital systems.

Analysis of digital systems in the Fourier and Z transform domains.

Discrete-time random processes.

Digital filtering of deterministic and stochastic signals.

Deterministic and stochastic signal modeling, Spectrum estimation.

Wiener Filter: linear prediction, white noise filtering, unwanted signal canceling.

Linear and Nonlinear Adaptive filtering: LMS, RLS and Kalman algorithms, neural networks.

Application examples in Matlab and programmable hardware platforms.
Teaching methods
The course is based on lectures, case studies, and project examples, aimed at describing applications of statistical digital signal processing to practical utility projects.
Lectures (hours/year in lecture theatre): 45

Assessment methods
The exam consists of an oral test during which three/four questions will be asked on different topics regarding the main course objectives, i.e., signal modeling, adaptive filtering, and spectrum estimation, in order to cover most of the course topics.

Moreover, each student can choose to implement a laboratory project, assigned by the teacher, followed by the oral test. The assigned projects will replace one of the oral questions of the final test.

The final mark is in thirtieths.
