Processamento de Sinal

Base Knowledge

Phasor representation, operations with complex numbers, differentiation and integration.

Teaching Methodologies

In the lectures, an oral exposition of the subject is done with the support of slide projection. The theoretical exposition of the concepts is complemented by the formulation and resolution of some application exercises.

Slides are available to students on the moodle platform. In the laboratory classes (mandatory), exercises are solved and simulations are performed with the help of Matlab support software.

Learning Results

The main objective of this course is to familiarize students with the theory and analysis of systems and signals.

It is intended that students develop the following skills:

– Understand the fundamental concepts of the theory of continuous and discrete time signals;

– Know how to apply the Fourier series and transforms and solve problems;

– Understand, know how to design and apply filters.

– Understand and apply sampling techniques and methods in the time and frequency domains;

– Acquire the ability to analyze and process the most common signals.
