Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 105 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr. Martin Buchholz
Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Martin Buchholz

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this course, students will be able to grasp the abstract, system-theoretical relationships necessary for understanding how signals are transmitted in telecommunications systems. - They will be able to classify signals and systems and analyze properties such as linearity, time invariance, causality or stability. - They will be familiar with the procedure of folding for calculating systems in the time domain and be able to apply it to various examples. - Students will be able to explain the relationship between impulse response and frequency response. - They will be able to apply the Fourier transform to analyze signal processing systems in the frequency domain. - Students will be able to describe the relationships between Fourier and Laplace transforms and apply these transforms to IT systems. - They will be able to use the Laplace transform to calculate control systems in information technology (synchronization loops, amplifier control, adaptive filters). - Students will be able to calculate and outline the influences on signals and systems that arise when scanning to digitize signals. - They will understand the necessity of describing signals and systems with the complex baseband representation. - Students will have acquired the basics necessary for analog and digital signal processing, image processing, spectral analysis and communication technology.
