84457 - SIGNAL ACQUISITION AND PROCESSING M

Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire

The course aims to give students the appropriate techniques for the acquisition and processing of real world data and the implementation of efficient and robust signal processing structures. Knowledge about the modern theory and practice of sampling from an engineering perspective, and classical and modern signal processing tools will be acquired.
