| Learning Outcomes |
Upon completion of this module you should normally be able to:
- perform elementary operation on audio data in decimal, binary, hexadecimal, and two’s complement formats
- represent and process audio signals using a complex notation
- process audio signals using matrices
- differentiate and integrate functions of a single variable
- represent periodic audio signals by means of the Fourier Series
- represent audio signals using the Fourier Transform
- apply a convolution to audio processing
- derive mathematically a characteristic of the comb filter
design and test digital audio filters using a computer-aided approach
