Radio Communication Systems
II1303 Signal Processing, 7.5hp
Course Program, Fall 2024
Course Objective:
This course provides the basics of signal processing so that students will understand mathematical repre-
sentation of discrete-time and continuous-time signals. Will be introduced to signal processing and char-
acterization techniques, such as filtering, frequency response, and transforms. Will also gain laboratory
experience in computer-based signal processing.
Upon successful completion of the course, you should be able to
• describe systems for signal processing in mathematical form
• use complex exponential notation to describe signals and systems
• use and write code in computer programs, to describe and perform calculations on a signal processing
system
• analyze signals with respect to frequency content
• describe system behavior in terms of frequency response
• describe system behavior in terms of the Fourier Transform
• analyze mixed analog-digital systems with sampling operations and digital filters
• utilize the z-transform to analyze discrete-time systems
• describe how signal processing is used in some applications
Recommended Prerequisites:
Basic knowledge in Algebra and Geometry, calculus (IX1303 or equivalent, IX1304 or equivalent)

Course Material:
• Text Book: James H. McClellan, Ronald W. Schafer, Mark A. Yoder, Digital Signal Processing
First, 2nd Global Edition Pearson, ISBN: 9781292113869

Lectures:
The purpose of the Lectures is to present concepts and information about signal processing for communica-
tions. The course material is based on the text book and OH-slides.
Seminar Sessions:
A selection of assignments is presented and discussed by randomly selected students. Original solutions
must be submitted at the latest at the beginning of the lesson. These assignments will give you bonus points
that you can use in the final exam. However, you will receive the bonus points of a given homework only if
you attend the corresponding seminar session.
Project Work:
The course includes two project assignments that must be presented in writing (report) and orally (short
presentation). The tasks are relatively extensive and require a total of one to two weeks of work. The
projects are carried out in groups of three to four students.
Course Contents:
1. Sinusoidal Signals. Complex numbers, complex representation of sinusoidal signals.
2. Spectrum representation of signals
3. Sampling and aliasing
4. Finite impulse response (FIR) filters
5. Frequency representation of FIR filters
6. The discrete time Fourier transforms
7. The z-transform
8. Infinite impulse response (IIR) filters
9. Continuous-time signals and linear time invariant (LTI) systems, continuous time signals and sys-
tems,linearity and time invariance, impulse response of basic LTI systems.
10. Frequency response for Linear time invariant systems, amplitude and phase response. lowpass, high-
pass, and bandpass filters. Ideal filters.
Course Requirements:
• Passed written exam (TEN1), 4.5 credits
• Passed lab exercises (INL1) (2 lab exercises), 3 credits
The final written exam covers the entire course and consists of eight exercise problems of 3 points each. It
is assessed according to the grades A-F. For a grade FX, the student has the possibility to complete the exam
with an extra assignment.
The project work is assessed using both a written report and an oral presentation. It is also assessed according
to the grades A-F. If you have not completed the project assignments, you will be offered a supplement
(grade E) in connection with the first re-examination. After that period, the whole project must be redone.

All examinations are individual and it is assumed that you are responsible for every material you present.
Written reports should always be submitted on time, even if you cannot attend the oral presentation.
Homework Assignments:
Six homework assignments giving a maximum of 6 (25%) bonus points which are added to the final exam.
