Learning outcomes
The main aim is to learn theoretical aspects of signal transfer and processing. Attention is paid to understanding of Fourier transform as a tool for description of signals in spectral domain.
Knowledge To define the main ideas and conceptions of the subject, describe the main approaches of the studied topics, recall the theoretical knowledge for solution of model problems in the field of theory and processing of signals.
Prerequisites
unspecified
