Signal Processing and Control Skills

Volledige vakbeschrijving

This course builds upon several first year courses such as Calculus, Linear Algebra, Physics and Electronics Laboratory Skills and Basic Programming Skills. In the first year courses, the focus was on data acquisition and introduction of software and basic mathematical tools. In this course, you are introduced to signal processing and control theory such as the relation between continuous and discrete signals, theory of Nyquist, elementary filter techniques, noise, moving average, low and high band pass, Fourier and Laplace transformation, open vs closed control systems and Bode diagrams of 1st and 2nd order systems. Each theoretical aspect is supported by a computer assignment to be performed with MATLAB/SIMULINK software, where datasets of actual measurements need to be processed and visualised. The final test is a signal processing assignment that is performed using MATLAB/SIMULINK and is documented in a report that discusses the problem solving strategy and the results.
