Course Description<\/h3>\n

This course is studied within the \u201cElectronic Engineering, Telecommunications, and Information Technologies\u201d domain \/ \u201cMicroelectronics, Optoelectronics and Nanotechnologies\u201d specialization, and aims to present advanced topics in digital signal processing (statistical processing of random signals, spectral estimation, adaptive filtering, multirate systems, VLSI architectures), with applications in communications, speech technology, and audio signal processing.<\/p>\n

The primary goal is to understand the phenomena underlying the studied techniques and their use in various current fields. Numerous examples and detailed explanations in the lectures help to clarify more difficult theoretical aspects and to solve practical applications and problems, with relevance for stimulating the students\u2019 learning process. Additionally, laboratory applications aim to provide practical experience in the main concepts taught in the lectures. The implemented applications include various software simulations using the MATLAB development environment.<\/p>\n

The course covers the following basic concepts and specific topics: discrete random signals and the response of digital filters to random signals, nonparametric and parametric methods of spectral analysis, modeling of random signals, linear estimation and the Wiener filter, adaptive filtering, processing of signals with multiple sampling, analysis and processing of speech signals, applications of speech technology, digital processing techniques for audio applications, concepts related to finite arithmetic in DSP, VLSI structures used for hardware implementation of DSP systems. All of these contribute to providing students with an overview of the methodological and procedural benchmarks of the studied field.<\/p>\n
