INF3440 – Signal processing
Course description
Course content
Analog and digital signals and systems in the time and frequency domains. Sampling and z-transform, digital filters, fast Fourier transformand spectral analysis.
Learning outcome
The students will gain a basic understanding of digital signal processing with emphasis on filter design and spectral analysis. Showing how the theory is applied in important systems such as cellular phones, sound compression and ultra-sound imaging is also emphasised.
Admission
Students who are admitted to study programmes at UiO must each semester register which courses and exams they wish to sign up for in Studentweb.
If you are not already enrolled as a student at UiO, please see our information about admission requirements and procedures.
Prerequisites
Recommended previous knowledge
INF1000 – Introduction to object-oriented programming (continued)/INF101, MAT1110 – Calculus and Linear Algebra/MAT 110 and INF2400 – Digital signal processing (discontinued). The last subject can be replaced by FYS3220 – Linear Circuit Theory.
It is recommended that MAT1120 is taken at the same time or before INF4440. STK1100 – Probability and Statistical Modelling or STK1000 – Introduction to Applied Statistics is also useful to have completed in beforehand.
Overlapping courses
10 credits with INF4440 – Signal processing (continued) and 9 credits with IN 256
Teaching
Lectures and exercises including mandatory tasks.
Examination
At least 40% of the weekly assignments must be approved in order to attend the exam. 3 hour written examination at the end of the semester. Graded A-F.
Resit an examination
