Postgraduate Course: Adaptive Signal Processing (PGEE11019)

Course Outline
SchoolSchool of Engineering CollegeCollege of Science and Engineering
Credit level (Normal year taken)SCQF Level 11 (Postgraduate) AvailabilityAvailable to all students
SCQF Credits10 ECTS Credits5
SummaryThis course deals with adaptive filters and related linear estimation techniques such as the Wiener infinite impulse response filter and Kalman filters. The concepts of training and convergence are introduced and the trade-off between performance and complexity is considered. The application of these techniques to problems in equalization, coding, spectral analysis and detection is examined.
