ELEC-E5620 - Audio Signal Processing D, Lecture, 14.1.2022-8.4.2022

Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Students will be able to describe the history, trends, and applications of digital audio signal processing, recognize and design digital filters used in audio signal processing, describe how the sampling rate of a digital audio signal can be altered, list sound analysis, synthesis, and effects processing techniques and their main features, explain basic principles and uses of audio codecs, describe what the concept "virtual acoustics" means, and apply the provided methods using the MATLAB software.
