Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

Signal analysis with focus on sound and vibration applications.

Contents: Probability functions and amplitude measures, correlation and spectral density, single-input / single-output relations, system identification and response, propagation-path identification, single -input I / multiple-output relations, multiple -input /multiple-output relations , energy-source identification, statistical enors in estimates.

Intended learning outcomes

The student should after finishing the course be able to:

  • Use probability functions and amplitude measures to analyze and characterize signals.
  • Apply correlation and spectral density techniques in sound and vibration problems.
  • Understand how to use single-input / single-output relations for system identification, including the effect of additional noise disturbances and correlated inputs.
  • Be able to choose an appropriate system identification technique and to estimate random and bias errors in frequency response estimates.
  • Be able to choose appropriate signal analysis techniques for propagation-path identification.
  • Be able to use single -input / multi-output relations for sound and vibration applications.
  • Be able to use multi -input / multi-output relations fOr sound and vibration applications.
  • Be able to use energy-source identification techniques including coherent output spectra.
  • Be able to estimate statistical errors in estimates of different types of spectra and functions.
