Abstract

This course presents fundamental digital signal processing and filter theory with a focus on geophysical applications.

Objective

The goal of the course is to give an understanding of the principles of digital signal processing and filter theory. Form: Two hours lecture and two hours exercises on the computer per week for 7 weeks.

Content

Analog-digital conversion: dynamic range and resolution; Dirac-impulse, step function; Laplace transformation; Z-transformation; Differential equations of linear time-invariant systems; Examples: seismometer and RC-filter; Impulse response and transfer function; Frequency selective filters: example Butterworth filters; Digital filters: impulse invariance and bilinear transformation; Inverse filters; Response spectra.
