MEC6409 Signal Processing and Instrumentation (10 credits)

Year Running: 2016/2017

Credit level: F7

Pre-requisites		MEC301 or equivalent
Additional Information		Restricted to 15 RTP students and students who are registered for a Programme of Study within the Faculty of Engineering

Description

The aim of the module is to introduce the theory and practice of signal processing as applied in Mechanical Engineering situations. The objective of signal processing procedures is to allow useful information to be derived from measured data. It is central to experimental analysis across engineering, with this module developing the techniques in a sound and vibration context. The module builds on elementary concepts to which the student has already been exposed and provides the necessary background for further study of advanced topics.Emphasis is placed firmly upon discrete-time processing of random signals.
