Short course/CPD
Digital Signal Processing
Course date: Please enquire
Course overview
Digital signal processing, a major technology in almost all modern hi-tech applications and products, is at the heart of mobile phones, communications and vibro-acoustical condition monitoring. The aim of this course is to provide an industry oriented course covering not only the theoretical aspects of classical and advanced time-frequency DSP but also the solid implementation aspects of the subject for students wishing to pursue a career in such areas as communications, speech recognition, bio-medical engineering, acoustics, vibrations, radar and sonar systems and multimedia.
Location
Cranfield University is located at the very heart of the UK – within the innovation triangle between London and the cities of Oxford and Cambridge.
Our central location provides easy access from the M1, excellent main line rail service as well as proximity to key international airports. Set in rolling countryside, Cranfield offers a rich, rural landscape complemented by thriving towns and picturesque villages.
