Information Engineering

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING. Through the introduction of the basic concepts and properties concerning the modeling and the analysis of discrete-time linear time-invariant (DT-LTI) circuits, with particular reference to the problems of numerical signal elaboration and information processing, the student will acquire understanding to avant-garde themes in the field of study, in relation to circuits and algorithms for the numerical processing of information in industrial and ICT applications. CAPABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING. At the end of the course, the student will be provided with a basic preparation that will allow the understanding of phenomena related to the modeling of DT-LTI circuits mainly for filtering of numerical signals. She/he will therefore be able to apply the acquired knowledge in an appropriate way as well as to apply techniques and methods of analysis and solution within the field of study, with particular reference to the Information Engineering. MAKING AUTONOMOUS JUDGEMENTS. The course aims at providing the capability to analyze and the basic elements to synthesize discrete-time linear time-invariant (DT-LTI) circuits, in particular FIR and IIR filters, which is preliminary to face subsequent issues concerning the field of the circuits for numerical elaboration of signals. In this way, the student will collect and interpret the concepts provided in order to make judgments in an autonomous manner, especially for the continuation of her/his studies. COMMUNICATE SKILLS. The course illustrates the fundamental methods for the analysis of linear time-invariant electrical circuits. Particular emphasis is given to the application aspects and those of intersection with the normal activities of an information engineer. Following this course, the student will be able to communicate the acquired information and the awareness of the existing problems to specialists and non-specialists in the world of work and research, in which she/he will develop her/his subsequent educational, scientific and professional activities. LEARNING SKILLS. The teaching methodology implemented in the course, based on the rigorous definition of the reference model, will require to face technical-scientific problems never seen before in a proactive way and with a solid and well-defined methodology, so as to be able to develop the necessary skills to undertake the subsequent studies with a high degree of autonomy. In particular, the use of analytic transformations (Discrete Time Fourier Transform and Z-Transform) improves the comprehension of phenomena and the generalization capability.
