11. Course instructor: Andrzej PUŁKA, PhD

12. Course classification:

13. Course status: compulsory

14. Language of instruction: English

15. Pre-requisite qualifications:

It is assumed that a student has sufficient skills and knowledge in mathematics (functions, distributions, complex numbers, integral and

differential calculations); circuits theory (phasor method, Laplace transform, transient analysis, electrical filters and frequency

characteristics); fundamentals of signal processing (Fourier transform, Z transform, fundamentals of analog signals modulation) and

fundamentals of methods of analog and digital circuits design.

Additionally students should be familiar with basis of hardware description languages and object-oriented programming in C++.

16. Course objectives:

The main objective of the course is the supplement and extension of basic knowledge on the theory of analog and digital signals,

The next objective is teaching students of modern methods of signals processing on examples of various modulation systems.

The course introduces basic problems of modern electronic embedded systems, their modeling and design methodologies and

appropriate design tools.

The problems presented in lecture are practically illustrated in laboratory. The exercises are divided into two groups: first part is

performed on hardware sets consisting on assembled circuits, meters, generators, oscilloscopes, power suppliers etc.. The next group of

exercises is performed on virtual environment of LabView (National Instruments) software.

The main objective of the practical laboratory is to learn students practical and creative work of their own. They have to make

appropriate experiments, measurements and prepare reports containing necessary calculations and elaborated conclusions.
