Monday-Thursday, 4th period, Menzies LT9. There is a
scheduled (and usually optional) tutorial slot in 4th
period Friday (in Menzies LT9). The course will be presented
by A/Prof.
Nicolls and Dr. Paul Amayo, and the
official handout is
available here.
The prescribed textbook is Signal Processing and Linear Systems (International edition) by B. P. Lathi.
PDF documents of the slides are available
here. Many thanks to Luca Lucchese
for granting me permission to use and modify his originals.
Some detailed notes were generated during the course in previous
years, and appear below. These will possibly be updated and
augmented through the duration of the course:
These will be handled using Vula. Current versions of computer
assignments are hosted on
github.
Tutorials and Additional Questions
You should be exploring textbook problems by
yourself. The webpage for the previous course textbook (second and
third
edition) has useful tutorials and demonstrations. The worked
problems section may be of interest if you require additional
problem material.
Tutorials and other resources can be found below. You should work
through them in your own time. They don't get submitted, but
should be valuable to you.
Signals as elements of a vector space:
slides,
notes,
2up.
For interest only. This should make sense to you after we
have covered the basic material for the Fourier series.
Knowing the Fourier series representation for a signal often
lets you easily find the series representation for related
signals. This tutorial explores this approach, and should
make sense after we have covered the Fourier series.
Systems in the time and frequency domain:
notes,
2up.
Example questions with discussion about possible solution
methods. This should makes sense after we have covered the
Fourier transform and its relation to systems.
Fourier series and lowpass filtering:
slides,
notes,
2up.
Demonstration of periodic signals being passed through
simple systems, like a lowpass filter. This makes combined
use of the Fourier series and the Fourier transform, and
should make sense after both topics have been covered.
Class Tests
There will be two formal class tests. Dates will be published on Vula.
The June exam is two hours long. You will be given this information sheet
in the exam.
A short summary of the important concepts in the course can be found
here.
