Aim
The course provides solutions to problems in signal processing where design of filters, filter banks and fast algorithms are in demand. The student should obtain sufficient insights on theory and application to independently formulate the mathematical problem, to solve it, and to implement the solution for processing of real signals.

Knowledge and understanding
For a passing grade the student must

have knowledge and understanding on different approaches to the design of filters and filter banks, derivation of efficient algorithms, e.g., the FFT, and have an understanding of how such algorithms are implemented in a digital signal processor (DSP).
know how to apply the most common methods on real problems and signals in communication, medicine, audio and economics (Matlab level)
know how to define mathematical models within the area based on various situations

Skills and abilities
For a passing grade the student must

be able to understand the principles of different filter design methods (IIR and FIR and variants), and to design such filters in Matlab.
be able to describe and analyze the most common types of filter banks and how these are applied in compression applications.
be able to describe and analyze error sources present in the implementation of algorithms in the DSP environment.
be able to describe efficient algorithms for the computation of the Fourier and wavelet transforms.

Judgement and approach
For a passing grade the student must

be able to analyze, assess, and implement filters, filter banks, and fast algorithms, and also to interpret and to describe their inherent principles.
have insight on the fact that seemingly different technical problems can be dealt with using the same methods.
