Learning outcomes
Upon successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:1. Demonstrate an understanding of the fundamental theories of signal processing, including the properties of continuous and discrete signals, sampling theory, and analog-to-digital conversion;
2. Apply spectrum analysis techniques, such as the Laplace transform, z-transform, Fourier transform, and discrete Fourier transform, to analyse and process signals in both time and frequency domains;
3. Apply the concepts of spectrum analysis to periodic and non-periodic signals; and
4. Develop digital signal processing systems using contemporary software and hardware techniques.

Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
All the assessments will need to adhere to a particular format as specified on the unit's Canvas site and submitted electronically via Canvas.
Detailed rubrics will be provided for each assessment.
Special assessment requirements
To be awarded a particular grade in DSP, students must meet the overall requirements, individual requirements for each assessment item set out in the table below. All grades are conditional upon the following minimum requirements:
Grade |
All assessment |
Pass |
Minimum 50% of combined weighted marks of all assessment items |
Credit |
Minimum 65% of combined weighted marks of all assessment items |
Distinction |
Minimum 75% of combined weighted marks of all assessment items |
High Distinction |
Minimum 85% of combined weighted marks of all assessment items |
The unit convenor reserves the right to question students on any of their submitted work for moderation and academic integrity purposes, which may result in an adjustment to the marks awarded for a specific task.
Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at UC. This includes submitting authentic and original work for assessments and properly acknowledging any sources used.
Academic integrity involves the ethical, honest and responsible use, creation and sharing of information. It is critical to the quality of higher education. Our academic integrity values are honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage.
UC students have to complete the Academic Integrity Module annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).
UC uses various strategies and systems, including detection software, to identify potential breaches of academic integrity. Suspected breaches may be investigated, and action can be taken when misconduct is found to have occurred.
Information is provided in the Academic Integrity Policy, Academic Integrity Procedure, and University of Canberra (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.
