Signals and Systems - Seminar / Kurs von Universität Ulm

Kursangebot in englischer Sprache.

The concepts of signals and systems are powerful tools for any engineer dealing with information bearing, measurable physical quantitites.

Topics are:

• basic properties of discrete-time and continuous-time systems
• z-transformation
• linear time-invariant systems, convolution integral
• Fourier transformation, discrete Fourier transformation, Fourier series
• sampling theorem
• probability theory, random variables and stochastic processes
• stochastic signals and linear time-invariant systems

1. The students will be able to classify, interpret, and compare signals and systems with respect to their characteristic properties. They can explain and apply analytical and numerical methods to analyze and synthesize signals and systems in time and frequency domain. Suitable signal transformations can be chosen and calculated with the help of transformation tables.
2. The students are able to recognize stochastic signals and analyze them based on their characteristic properties. They can calculate and interpret the influence of linear time-invariant systems on stochastic signals.

Requirement is a first graduate degree.

Contentual: Solid knowledge of advanced mathematics at least on the level of a bachelor’s degree in engineering is required. Especially the following topics are very important:

• Linear algebra 
• Analysis (series, functions, derivatives, integrals, complex numbers)
