Learning objectives
The aim of the course is to teach the fundamental concepts of signal and system theory, focusing on continuous-time and discrete-time signals and systems (with specific reference to acoustic signals). The course focuses in particular on: signal and system representations in time- and frequency-domain, signal processing (filtering), and analog/digital signal conversions.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the student shall be able to: represent signals and systems both in the time domain and in the frequency domain; design continuous-time and discrete-time filters; correctly design an analog-to-digital signal conversion.

- Signals and systems
- Frequency analysis: Fourier series and Fourier transform.
- Filtering of analog signals.
- Analog/digital conversion: sampling, quantization.
- Time-discrete Signals.
- Frequency analysis: of discrete signals: DTFT, DFT.
- The Z-transform.
- Digital filters.
