Reassessment
In accordance with the University's Code of Assessment reassessments are normally set for all courses which do not contribute to the honours classifications. For non honours courses, students are offered reassessment in all or any of the components of assessment if the satisfactory (threshold) grade for the overall course is not achieved at the first attempt. This is normally grade D3 for undergraduate students, and grade C3 for postgraduate students. Exceptionally it may not be possible to offer reassessment of some coursework items, in which case the mark achieved at the first attempt will be counted towards the final course grade. Any such exceptions are listed below in this box.
Due to the nature of the coursework and sequencing of courses, it is not possible to reassess the coursework laboratory.
Main Assessment In: December
Are reassessment opportunities available for all summative assessments? No
Reassessments are normally available for all courses, except those which contribute to the Honours classification.
Due to the nature of the coursework and sequencing of courses, it is not possible to reassess the coursework laboratory.
Course Aims
This course aims to introduce the fundamental concepts of digital signal processing and the basic analytical methods, and demonstrate how they are applied to design filters for given applications.
Intended Learning Outcomes of Course
By the end of this course students will be able to:
■ Apply time domain and transform domain analysis methods for discrete-time signals to generate and detect various discrete-time signals;
■ Apply time domain and transform domain analysis methods to analyze discrete time systems;
■ Design FIR digital filter by using Windowed Fourier Series method;
■ Design IIR digital filter by using Bilinear Transformation Method;
■ Evaluate digital systems in digital platforms,including realization structures,finite word length.
Minimum Requirement for Award of Credits
Students must submit at least 75% by weight of the components (including examinations) of the course's summative assessment. In addition students must submit work for assessment for the course laboratory or a grade of credit withheld will be given.
Students must attend the timetabled laboratory classes.
Note that these are minimum requirements: good students will achieve far higher participation/submission rates. Any student who misses an assessment or a significant number of classes because of illness or other good cause should report this by completing a MyCampus absence report.
