Learning Outcomes AAv (AAv) ​

  • AAv1 [heures: 3, B2, B3, B4] : At the end of the semester, the student should be able to establish the analytical expression of discrete-time signals and systems (this course is limited to the case of regular sampling).

  • AAv2 [heures: 9, B2, B3, B4] : At the end of the semester, the student should be able to perform the spectral analysis of sampled signals and systems (discrete-time and continuous-frequency analysis) based on the concept of the Fourier transform in the sense of distributions.

  • AAv3 [heures: 13, B2, B3, B4, C1, C2, C4] : At the end of the semester, the student must be able to analyse and design a digitisation-reconstruction chain for an analogue DC signal. The digital signal processing concepts to be put into practice are in particular : (1) Shannon's theorem on the choice of sampling frequency (oversampling and undersampling) and the spectral properties derived from it; (2) Issues on the choice of anti-aliasing filter parameters to be able to minimise overlap noise; (3) The issues involved in choosing the quantisation method and the number of digitiser bits to maximise the signal-to-noise ratio; (4) The issues involved in choosing the parameters of the low-pass reconstruction filter (interpolator filter) to correctly reproduce the analogue DC signal.

  • AAv4 [heures: 16, C1, C2, C4] : At the end of the semester, the student must be able to know and master the determining factors (maximum frequency, frequency resolution and separation dynamics) in a digital spectral analysis (FFT digital tool: discrete-time and discrete-frequency spectral calculation). The use of digital spectral analysis requires appropriate choices to be made regarding the sampling frequency, the duration of signal observation, the type of apodisation window and the addition of zeros to the signal (zero-padding technique).

  • AAv5 [heures: 12, B2, B3, B4, C1, C2, C4] : At the end of the semester, the student must be able to carry out a complete analysis (time response, frequency response, stability study, number of coefficients in the recurrence equation, number of delay elements, fluence graph, digital sensitivity and calculation noise) of a digital filter of the RIF or RII type using discrete convolution and the Z transfer function. This analysis should lead to an appropriate and argued choice with regard to the signal to be filtered.

  • AAv6 [heures: 22, D1, D2, D3, D4] : At the end of the semester, the student must be able to implement these basic digital signal processing techniques in an interpreted language such as python, matlab or octave, and implement them on a hardware target (digital processing unit).The student will have consulted and assimilated the scientific resources required for the work to be carried out.
