On completion of the course the student will be capable of:
- analysing and designing an Order N analogue filter
- understanding analogue/digital and digital/analogue conversions, their concepts, technology and implementation
- analysing signal processing connections from a differential sensor with digital upgrading (increase of ENOB) by oversampling and decimation.
Course requirements include general laws of electricity (Kirshoff, Thevenin, Norton laws), reading electronic diagrams, signal processing theory and Nyquist/Shannon criteria.
