Guest access
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.

CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD

Content

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    Estimation, optimal and adaptive filtering, sensor array processing and multisensor systems

  • applies in this implementation

    This course covers the following topics: 

    • Basic Concepts of Parameter Estimation
    • Estimation of Deterministic Parameters
    1. Optimal Estimation techniques: Maximum Likelihood, MVUE, performance bounds
    2. Statistically Robust Estimators: dealing with noise and model uncertainty
    3. Practical but not necessarily optimal methods: Least Square, Method of Moments
    • Estimation of Random Parameters: Bayesian approach, MMSE and MAP
    • Optimum filtering and Signal estimation
    1. Wiener filter, Adaptive LMS-filter
    2. Kalman filter
    3. Extended KF, Unscented KF
    • Sensor Array Signal Processing:
    1. Beamforming and and Direction of arrival estimation
    2. High Resolution and Optimal Methods
    3. Dealing with coherent signals


Assessment Methods and Criteria

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    Lectures, exercises and an exam. Taking the exam may require passed exercises.

  • applies in this implementation

    Two take-home assignment sets containing both analytical problem solving and matlab-assignments that have to be solved independently.

    Final exam

    Grading is based on the take-home assignments (50%) and final exam (50%).

Workload

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    5 cr = 133 h

    Lectures, Exercises, Exam approximately 30 h, Independent studying (homeworks, preparing for exam, etc.) approximately 103 h

    Attendance in some contact teaching may be compulsory.

DETAILS

Study Material

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    Handout

  • applies in this implementation

    Handouts will be provided as we progress with the lectures.

    Additional reading material will be provided as well as some tutorial material that helps solving the assignments.
