The lecture Signal Processing (6 CP) was merged from the two lectures Sensorics (held in English) and Signalverabeitung (held in German). The new lecture is held in English completely. While the Signal Processing script contains all topics of the two former lectures, four chapters focussed on measurement devices and techniques are no longer part of the lecture and the exam. Details see below.

Contents of the Lecture:

1. Introduction to Measurement Techniques
2. Measurement of Electrical Quantities (removed from lecture)
3. Measurement of Non-Electrical Quantities (removed from lecture)
4. Digital Measurement Techniques 
5. Measurement Errors and Statistics (removed from lecture)
6. Static and Dynamic Behaviour of Sensors (removed from lecture)
7. Introduction to Signal Processing
8. Discrete-Time Systems and Signals
9. Transformation into the Frequency Domain (Discrete Fourier Transform)
10. Filters
11. Selected Methods in Signal Processing
12. Stochastic Signals

Exam Instructions:

• A four-page formula sheet (two sheets printed double-sided, or four sheets printed single-sided) is permitted as an aid. It is recommended that you write out the formula sheet yourself.
• A calculator may be required for some problems.
• A set square may be required for some problems to measure angles.
• Exam tasks may be answered in English and German.

Software:

Matlab/Simulink is an important software tool in control engineering; it is therefore often used for examples in this course. Many of the necessary commands are included in an add-on called the Control System Toolbox. If you do not have access to Matlab or the aforementioned toolbox, we recommend the alternative software Scilab/Xcos, which can be downloaded for free from the Internet. The software has a very wide range of functions and covers all the areas necessary for this course. Furthermore, it is very similar to MATLAB/Simulink in terms of usage.
