Goals and objectives
This lecture is a graduate-level of signal processing fundamentals and more advanced related topics and applications. In this lecture, it intends to introduce the important methods and usefulness in signal processing. Students acquire the analysis and representation of various digital signal processing systems. This lecture needs the several knowledge of applied mathematics for complex analysis, Fourier series and Hilbert spaces. It is suitable for a wide range of students involved with or interested in signal processing applications through this lecture. On the completion of this lecture, the students should be able to:
1. have an awareness of the signal processing methods of various continuous waveforms
2. have an awareness of the discrete-time (digital) signal processing methods of data sequences
3. have an awareness of the methods for data analysis, signal enhancement and reduction, signal detection and estimation.
Prerequisites
It is desirable that you learn the basics or related topics of following subjects in undergraduate education; signal processing, electronic circuitry, communication systems and so forth.
Method Using AL・ICT
Support for self-learning using ICT

15. Reviewing of the lecture

However, several themes covered in this lecture may be changed or revised depending on the course year. In such cases, notification will be given at the first class. In addition, every teaching materials will be uploaded to "KU-LMS" in advance for the preparatory study. So please read the relevant parts and make preparations such as researching unclear parts. After every class, you will be given assignments to deepen your understanding. Based on the knowledge gained in this lecture, please review the unclear points and solve the assignments on your own. As for the preparatory study for the 15th class, please review all the previous classes.

Evaluation
Students must submit a report at the end of term about a theme related to signal processing in their own research fields. In this report, the topic is selected from the peer-reviewed English literature in academic journals or reviewed conference proceedings. The selected literature must be registered with the database of Elsevier's Scopus website.
Feedback for students
The assignment for a learning subject will be explained in the teaching material for a next lecture.

Textbooks
Uploads a teaching material (handout) to "KU-LMS" every lecture.
