ING3309 Signal Processing and Transmission
The course shall provide good knowledge of analogue and digital signals, which is important for service on board the Navy’s vessels and in the Navy’s organisation. The course provides an important basis for understanding the manner of operation of weapon, sensor, and communication systems.
Academic content:
Signal processing: Introduction with topics such as discretization, filtering, and examples of use of digital signal processing. Systems theory with Fourier series, Fourier transforms and Laplace transforms. Time-discrete systems theory with z-transformation, difference equations and frequency response analysis. Construction of digital filters. DFT (FFT) with emphasis on use. Adaptive (Kalman) filter, construction and manner of operation. Examples of use of digital signal processing in weapon and sensor systems.
Transmission: Modulation and demodulation. Amplitude modulation, angle modulation. Phase-locked loops. Modulation and demodulation. Frequency synthesis. Digital transmission. Modulation and coding. Multiplexing. Multiplexing in time and frequency.
Knowledge
After completion of the course, the cadet is able to:
- describe key concepts and methods in transmission and digital signal processing.
- explain the use of digital signal processing in filtering and Fourier analysis (DFT)
- describe modulation and demodulation methods.
- demonstrate an academic basis for courses to be completed on systems encountered in service.
Skills
After completion of the course, the cadet is able to:
- use a relevant concept and system of formulae
- apply basic methods in transmission and digital signal processing.
- use measurement equipment and simulation programmes in the laboratory and can present and interpret measurement data and simulated data.
- construct simple systems for digital signal processing and transmission.
General competence
After completion of the course, the cadet is able to:
- apply insight into the use of transmission and digital signal processing in systems he will encounter in service in the Armed Forces.
- convey knowledge on transmission and digital signal processing.
Emphasis shall be on using examples from other disciplines and from the service as an illustration of the subject.
- Review of curriculum with use of questions/discussions
- Laboratory work where records are kept for approval for 2-3 laboratory exercises.
- Analysis and simulation of digital filters and transmission systems using Matlab/Simulink
- Assignment solving and review of assignments by student/teacher,
- Student presentations, compulsory submissions, supervision and self-studies.
- Examinations
Work requirements
- Compulsory participation in teaching
- Supervision
- Compulsory submissions and tests
Examination is carried out according to the Regulations for Admission, Studies and Examinations (in Norwegian, “Forskrift om opptak, studier og eksamen”) at the Norwegian Defence University College.
