ATEC-201 Digital Signal Theory (3)

This course provides students with a background in digital signal theory through lectures and practical programming exercises in MATLAB. Familiar audio editing operations such as mixing, panning, normalizing, and cross-fading are explained and implemented as mathematical operations. Students learn audio analysis techniques for calculating waveform features including root mean square (RMS) amplitude, zero crossing rate, and attack transient location. After an introduction to the Fourier transform, the course covers spectrum analysis and basic frequency domain signal processing techniques. Usually Offered: fall and spring. Prerequisite/Concurrent: ATEC-101.
