General Information

Compulsory for: BME2
Language of instruction: The course will be given in Swedish

Aim

The course provides basic knowledge in digital signal processing and is costomized for the BME students' prior knowledge and requirements. Signal processing is about representing, manipulating and transforming signals and the information contained in signals using mathematical methods. Applications are found in many different areas such as biology, medicine, sound, image and communication.

Contents

The course deals with methods for analyzing discrete time signals and systems. The Fourier transform, the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) and the z-transform are introduced as tools for analysis. Discrete time systems are described in terms of differential equation, impulse response, frequency response and system function and pole-zero diagrams. The relationships between these system descriptions and how the system affects different input signals in the time and frequency domain are analyzed. Sampling and aliasing are handled. The focus is on applying the methods in practice for the analysis of biomedical signals. Matlab is used in laboratory work and projects.
