AbstractThe category of "Laboratory Courses, Projects, Seminars" includes courses and laboratories in various formats designed to impart practical knowledge and skills. Moreover, these classes encourage independent experimentation and design, allow for explorative learning and teach the methodology of project work.
Learning objectiveAs everyday electronic circuits have transitioned into integrated circuits, they have become increasingly difficult to examine and tinker with. As a result, students become less exposed to basic analog electronic circuits and their fundamental operating principles. At university level, bachelor classes in analog circuits and electronics provide rigorous theoretical insights but are typically focused on linearised operating behaviour.

The goal of this lab course is for the students to enhance their understanding on how basic analog electronic circuits work, or perhaps don't work, and provide enough practical experience for the students to feel at ease using transistors, resistors, capacitances, diodes etc., to create working circuits.

For example, students create circuits that make physical quantities audible. Students are encourage to realise their own circuit ideas.

Learning objectiveDie Echtzeitverarbeitung von digitalen Signalen ist eine Herausforderung welche in der Praxis häufig auftritt (digitale Kommunikation, Audio- und Videovearbeitung, ...).

Es gibt eine Familie von Mikroprozessoren welche spezifisch für die Echtzeitverarbeitung von digitalen Signalen optimiert sind: Sogenannte "Digital Signal Processor" oder kurz DSP. In diesem Praktikum lernt ihr einige Grundlagen der digitalen Signalverarbeitung und deren Implementation auf einem DSP kennen.

In Zweiergruppen werdet ihr euch am Beispiel von akustischen Signalen Schritt für Schritt an die Theorie und die Programmierung in Assembler herantasten. In der zweiten Hälfte des Semesters könnt ihr ein kleines, selbst bestimmtes Audio-Projekt verwirklichen.

Für die Implementierung verwenden wir ein für dieses P&S entwickeltes Board mit Komponenten welche auch in der Industrie verwendet werden. Es ist bestückt mit Ein- und Ausgängen für analoge Audiosignale, einem Codec, welcher das analoge Signal in ein digitales und zurück umwandelt, einem DSP der Familie "Blackfin" von Analog Devices (BF532) und 32MB Arbeitsspeicher.

AbstractThe course introduces some fundamental topics of digital signal processing with a bias towards applications in communications: discrete-time linear filters, equalization, DFT, discrete-time stochastic processes, elements of detection theory and estimation theory, LMMSE estimation and LMMSE filtering, LMS algorithm, Viterbi algorithm.
Learning objectiveThe course introduces some fundamental topics of digital signal processing with a bias towards applications in communications. The two main themes are linearity and probability. In the first part of the course, we deepen our understanding of discrete-time linear filters. In the second part of the course, we review the basics of probability theory and discrete-time stochastic processes. We then discuss some basic concepts of detection theory and estimation theory, as well as some practical methods including LMMSE estimation and LMMSE filtering, the LMS algorithm, and the Viterbi algorithm. A recurrent theme throughout the course is the stable and robust "inversion" of a linear filter.
Content1. Discrete-time linear systems and filters:
state-space realizations, z-transform and spectrum,
decimation and interpolation, digital filter design,
stable realizations and robust inversion.

2. The discrete Fourier transform and its use for digital filtering.

3. The statistical perspective:
probability, random variables, discrete-time stochastic processes;
detection and estimation: MAP, ML, Bayesian MMSE, LMMSE;
Wiener filter, LMS adaptive filter, Viterbi algorithm.
