Objectives

The growth of communication and information processing systems has led to the emergence of new services. This development is based on an ever greater appropriation by the industrial world of information theory and signal processing methods whose theoretical bases have been presented in the first year course STI tc2. The objective of the course is to complete the presentation of the basics and methods of signal processing in order to acquire a complete set of tools to address the modeling, analysis and filtering of signals, as well as the operation of communication channels. These principles are found in applications such as telecommunications, software sensors or GPS positioning.
