Array Processing

Signal processing models for narrowband and wideband array processing, elementary beamforming concepts (spatial filtering), tools from linear algebra: QR, SVD, eigenvalue decompositions, projections and GEVD. Elementary beamformers/receivers: the matched filter, the Wiener filter, MVDR, LCMV, etc. Estimation of angles and delays using ESPRIT, adaptive space-time filters, the LMS algorithm and factor anaylsis.

Oral exam: 2 Take-home assignments with oral discussion to test how well the corresponding theory and assignment has been understood.

Final grade calculation: 0.5 * Oral discussion 1 + 0.5 * Oral discussion 2.

Both partial grades must be sufficient, i.e., .a 6 or higher.

Repair possibility: In case one or both partial exams have an insufficient score (i.e., <6), the corresponding exam can be redone by making an appointment.

Notice: The partial results only remain valid in the academic year in which they are obtained.

In case of an insufficient final result, repair options may exist in accordance with Article 17A, Times and number of examinations, sub 1, of the Teaching and Examination Regulations.
