ELEC2305 Signals and Systems 2 [UG]
| |
| Credit: 6 points Availability: Semester 2 (See Timetable) Old unit code: 620.228, ENGT2305 | |
| Outcomes: Students gain an understanding of fundamental aspects of electrical signals and systems and an understanding of the effects of noise on system performance. A fundamental understanding of signals and systems forms the basis in the analysis of behaviour of systems subjected to various signal and noise conditions. Students gain practical experience in problem solving, systems modelling in analog and digital domains, gain experience in MATLAB programming, and develop skills in computer simulation of different filter functions and signals. The unit also contributes to the development of effective communication and teamwork skills through participating in laboratory classes. | |
| Content: This unit covers the following topics: modelling and analysis of linear continuous and discrete time systems—continuous time system behaviour, differential equations, convolution integral, zero-state, zero-input, natural, forced, transient and steady-state responses; Laplace and Fourier transforms, transfer function, examples of transfer functions for physical systems; properties of transfer functions, forced response to an exponential complex frequency, magnitude and phase response, bode diagrams, low-pass, high-pass, all-pass functions; Hilbert Transform, envelope of bandpass signals; representation of periodic signal and pulses; discrete systems, difference equations, sampling theory; examples for physical systems, z-transform method; frequency response and transfer functions of discrete-time systems; relationship among transforms—continuous and discrete time. | |
| Assessment: This comprises an examination, class tests, assignments, projects and written laboratory reports. The examination assesses students' understanding of the fundamental principles and their application. Class tests are used for continuous assessment and to enable students to monitor their own progress during the semester. The laboratory classes assess students' ability to interpret laboratory experiments and communicate the results in a written form and also their ability to program in MATLAB, and to perform computer simulations of signals and filter functions. The assignments assess students' mathematical foundations and their ability to mathematically formulate and solve general problems in the field of signals and systems. Supplementary assessment is not available in this unit except in the case of a bachelor's degree student who has obtained a mark of 45 to 49 and is currently enrolled in this unit, and it is the only remaining unit that the student must pass in order to complete the course. | |
