This unit focuses on developing techniques and algorithms for solving discrete-time signal processing problems for real world applications. It covers the fundamentals of sinusoidal signals, followed by spectrum representation of signals, sampling and aliasing of signals, finite impulse response (FIR) filter design and implementation, the discrete frequency response, representation of signals and systems using the z-transform, bilinear transforms, infinite impulse response (IIR) filter design and implementation, and spectral analysis of signals. Audio-visual applications are used throughout the unit to illustrate the characteristics of the various techniques and algorithms

This unit is reliant on on-line materials including electronic submission of assessment items. Students must have access to a reliable high-speed broadband connection and a scanner.
