Basic Information

Lecturers:		Gerhard Schmidt (lecture) and Eric Elzenheimer (exercise)
Room:		KS2/Geb.F - SR-I
Language:		English
Target group:		Students in electrical engineering and computer engineering
Prerequisites:		Basic Knowlegde about signals and systems
Contents:		Students attending this lecture should be able to implement efficient and robust signal processing structures. Knowledge about moving from the analog to the digital domain and vice versa including the involved effects (and trap doors) should be acquired. Also differences (advantages and disadvantages) between time and frequency domain approaches should be learnt.
