ABOUT THIS COURSE
We live in a world filled with signals which can be represented by sequences of numbers in a digital machine. These sequences of numbers can be manipulated by algorithms and have numerous applications in audio, images, video, wireless transmission and countless other domains.
In this course, you’ll understand the field of digital signal processing with a focus on the design and analysis of signals, and algorithms. You’ll cover the DSP fundamentals of signals, systems and transforms. You’lll learn about the basic signal types and perform different operations. You’ll develop an understanding about the frequency domain and how to represent signals in time, and the transformation from one domain to the other using the Fourier transform. You’ll also learn about digital systems. Finally, you’ll develop a practical OFDM system focusing on modulation and demodulation.
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to model, analyze and design signals and systems in greater depth, in the time and frequency domains.
