Model-based signal processing

Om kursen

Model-based signal processing is given in master's programme Communication Engineering. Course information is available in Studieportalen. See Model-based signal processing

This course offers an introduction to detection and estimation theory with emphasis on applications in signal processing and commmunications. It provides an overview of the main tools to extract desided information from measured signals under a statistical signal processing framework. Fundamental limitations on the estimation performance is discussed. A brief introduction to detection theory and classification is presented.

Content
Minimum Variance Unbiased Estimation and the Cramer-Rao Lower Bound, Best Linear Unbiased Estimators, Maximum Likelihood Estimation, Least Squares, Method of Moments, Bayesian Estimation, Wiener and Kalman Filters, Introduction to Detection Theory, Likelihood Ratio Tests, Model Order Selection.

Learning Outcomes
  • Understand how to model experimental data in simple situations and make suitable assumptions on the random components in the data
  • Understand the fundamental limitations of statistical data models and how these can be used to design experiments
  • Understand the trade-offs involved in parameter estimation
  • Know how to choose a suitable estimation approach for a given data model and derive the resulting equations
  • Know how to implement a variety of estimators on computer
  • Know how to evaluate the performance of estimators and compare different approaches
  • Have a brief knowledge about detection techniques and selection of a suitable model order
