Foundations of Signals and Systems: Analyse and Process Digital Signals

Gain essential knowledge of signals and systems

Understanding signals and systems is fundamental for success in advanced ICT, multimedia, and telecommunications studies.

This five-week course equips you with the core skills to analyse, transform, and interpret signals using both theoretical and practical tools.

Prepare yourself for graduate-level learning with this specialised online course that will help build the foundations for a successful career in information and communication technologies.

Develop an understanding of Fourier and Laplace transforms

You’ll begin by exploring the fundamental properties of signals, including energy, power, and periodicity.

Learn how to analyse system behaviour through concepts like linearity, stability, and time invariance, and apply transformations such as Fourier and Laplace for signal processing.

Armed with this knowledge, you’ll have a strong foundation of knowledge in how to analyse functions.

Gain practical skills in signal analysis using MATLAB

Hands-on labs with MATLAB will allow you to visualise and process signals, implement convolution techniques, and understand the impact of sampling and digital representation on system performance.

By the end, you’ll be able to analyse and interpret signals with confidence, ready for advanced study or work in the field.

This course is designed for international and domestic students preparing for graduate studies in ICT, multimedia, and engineering. Suitable for those needing foundational knowledge in signals and systems for success in technical degree programmes.
