This module will provide an understanding of the fundamental principles of signal and image processing. Concepts will be applied to digital signals and the spectral information studied including the Fourier transform, the Z-transform and their relationship to different types of digital filter.
The aim of this module is:
- To provide students with an understanding of the fundamental principles of signal and image processing and their manipulation.
By the end of this module, students will be expected to:
- Analyse digital signals to develop a thorough and comparative understanding of the fundamental concepts and theories in DSP.
- Understand and evaluate the concepts of Fourier transform and spectral estimation, essential to solve problems, and comment on research and scholarship in digital signal processing, while appreciating the uncertainty, ambiguity, and limits of knowledge.
- Understand and apply the Z-transform effectively in digital filter design, deploying established techniques accurately within digital signal processing.
- Describe and apply various types of digital filters, including the ability to comprehend and communicate information, ideas, problems, and solutions effectively.
- Implement a range of digital signal processing methods tailored for specific applications, demonstrating the ability to apply and evaluate methods effectively within the domain of digital signal processing.

Exam format definitions
- Remote, open book: Your exam will take place remotely via an online learning platform. You may refer to any physical or electronic materials during the exam.
- In-person, open book: Your exam will take place on campus under invigilation. You may refer to any physical materials such as paper study notes or a textbook during the exam. Electronic devices may not be used in the exam.
- In-person, open book (restricted): The exam will take place on campus under invigilation. You may refer only to specific physical materials such as a named textbook during the exam. Permitted materials will be specified by your department. Electronic devices may not be used in the exam.
- In-person, closed book: The exam will take place on campus under invigilation. You may not refer to any physical materials or electronic devices during the exam. There may be times when a paper dictionary,
for example, may be permitted in an otherwise closed book exam. Any exceptions will be specified by your department.
Your department will provide further guidance before your exams.

be necessary to make changes, for example to programmes, modules, facilities or fees. Examples of such reasons might include a change of law or regulatory requirements,
industrial action, lack of demand, departure of key personnel, change in government policy, or withdrawal/reduction of funding. Changes to modules may for example consist
of variations to the content and method of delivery or assessment of modules and other services, to discontinue modules and other services and to merge or combine modules.
The University will endeavour to keep such changes to a minimum, and will also keep students informed appropriately by updating our programme specifications and module directory.
