Course code
Qualifications are made up of courses. Some universities call these papers. Each course is numbered using six digits.
Level
The fourth number of the course code shows the level of the course. For example, in course 219206, the fourth number is a 2, so it is a 200-level course (usually studied in the second year of full-time study).
Credits
Each course is worth a number of credits. You combine courses (credits) to meet the total number of credits needed for your qualification.
Subject
Course planning information
Course notes
Students must submit a report for the System Representations project. Students must achieve a minimum aggregate of 40% in the module tests.
General progression requirements
You must complete at least 45 credits from 100-level before enrolling in 200-level courses.Learning outcomes
What you will learn. Knowledge, skills and attitudes you’ll be able to show as a result of successfully finishing this course.
- 1 Describe signals in time and frequency domain.
- 2 Describe linear time invariant systems using the concepts of impulse response, step response, frequency response, transfer function, differential or difference equations and pole-zero representations.
- 3 Use convolution to calculate the output of a linear time invariant system.
- 4 Convert signal and system representations between the time and frequency domains using the Fourier series and Fourier transform.
- 5 Appropriately convert signals between continuous time and discrete time domains.
- 6 Design and realize basic analogue and digital filters.
- 7 Convert signal and system representations between the time and frequency domains using the Laplace transform.
Learning outcomes can change before the start of the semester you are studying the course in.
