et 4235 Digital signal processing

Introduction

This is a basic course in Signal Processing at the 'engineering level', it treats techniques in signal processing as they really occur in major applications, in particular telecommunication engineering and multimedia. The course provides a link between algorithms for signal processing and applications.

General Information

A description of the course and of the format we shall follow can be found here.

Books

Boaz Porat, "A course in Digital Signal Processing", Wiley 1997, ISBN: 0-471-14961-6.

The book is intended as background, all the lectures are documented in two ways: (1) the collection of slides that are used during class meetings, and (2) explanatory notes on the slides. In addition there are two sets of background notes that assist in providing the necessary basic information so that the course (all slides and notes) is self contained.

The 2007-version of the course has been video-taped: see Open Course Ware.

Instructors

prof.dr.ir. Alle-Jan van der Veen (AJ) and dr.ir. Geert Leus (GL)

Exam

The exam is an oral exam that takes place during the exam week in January (12 Jan 2008--30 Jan 2008). During the exam, you will be asked to explain one of the basic techniques treated in the course (15 mins., presentation in front of the blackboard). In addition, you should complete the take-home exercise on estimation filters as described in Lab Experiment and prepare a brief report that shows the results and the corresponding matlab code; it will be discussed during the exam (10 mins.). The examen is open book. A preparation time of 45 mins. before the exam appointment is foreseen.

Please make appointments with the secretary, Mrs. Laura Bruns, L.S.Bruns@tudelft.nl, 015 27 81372, Room HB 17.320. Show up at her office 45 mins. before the scheduled hour for your exam to pick up your presentation topic.

Schedule

The schedule for 2008 is as follows.

Dates in red: class is in the evening 18:45--20:30. On the other dates: class is 13:45-15:30.
