Learning Outcomes
By the end of the module students are expected to be able to:
  1. Understand the consequences of the sampling theorem
  2. Convert between continuous-time and discrete-time signals by using sampling theorem
  3. Classify discrete-time signals and linear time-invariant systems using difference equations description
  4. Apply the Z-transform to discrete-time signals and systems
  5. Perform simple manipulations on Z-transforms, in particular find solutions to some simple systems given by their difference equations or their block diagrams
  6. Determine the stability of a linear time-invariant system based on its poles and zeros structure
  7. Design elementary infinite impulse response (IIR) and finite impulse response (FIR) filters
  8. Construct Matlab functions using the built-in DSP toolbox corresponding to FIR filter specifications
