Higher education teachers: Zupančič Borut

Subject description

Prerequisits:

• Enrolment in the 2nd year of study

Content (Syllabus outline):

• Introduction . systems and systems theory, examples of systems, processes.
• Signals. Types, power and energy. Basic signals, an introduction to spectral analysis, Fourier series, sampling, digital processing , discrete Fourier transform, digital filtering.
• Process modelling. Objectives and relevant guidelines in modelling, types of models, methods of modelling: theoretical and experimental modelling, modelling and simulation as a unified cyclic procedure, examples: car suspension , heating in the room, population dynamics.
