Signal processing
Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

Content
  • Sampling: theorem, interpolation, sequence
  • Sampling rate change: downsampling and interpolation for low-pass signals and bandpass signals, complex envelope
  • Processing structures and graph theory: switching, transposition, direct and polyphase structures
  • Discrete Fourier transform, properties, convolution, truncation and window
  • Finite impulse response filters, phase linearity, types and properties of poles and zeros
  • Synthesis of FIR filters: window method, frequency response sampling, minimax synthesis and Remez method
  • Synthesis of IIR filters: Prony method, synthesis method by bilinear transformation
  • Comparison of the IIR and FIR filters: discussion on the linear phase and the complexity
  • Non-parametric spectral analysis by the discrete Fourier transform: compromise between the resolution and the level of the secondary lobes
  • Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm
  • Parametric spectral analysis: identification of a auto regressive model - Yule-Walker equation and Levinson-Durbin algorithm
  • Adapted and adaptive filtering.
  • Theory of multiresolution and wavelet transforms: links between sampling and projection on a vector space generated by orthonormal basic functions of index type. Examplification by the Haar Transform.
  • Compressive sensing.
  • Exercises on the use of Python for the prototyping of signal processing systems
Teaching methods
14 lectures
12 training sessions
Evaluation methods
  • Concerning the lectures, the students are individually evaluated with a written exam, including problems solving, and questions on the theory.
  • For the numerical exercises on Python, the students are evaluated in computer room (in-session or out-of-session).
