Course Objectives The aim of this course is to explain mathematical methods for signals and communications and to describe spectrum estimation techniques.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Able to apply mathematical methods to problems of signal and communication, design, implement and apply spectrum estimation and evaluate their performance, use a combination of theory and software implementations to solve signal and communication problems, identify applications in which it would be possible to use different digital signal analysis approaches, design and implement classification systems, analyze the accuracy and determine advantages and disadvantages of each method, use computer tools (such as Matlab) in developing and testing stochastic DSP algorithms, and complete a term project.
Course Content Mathematical methods for signal processing, spectrum estimation, discrete Karhunen-Loeve transform, detection of a signal in noise, multiple signal classification (MUSIC), least mean square algorithm, classification systems, Kalman filters.
