Course Objective

The aim of this course is to give some basic understanding of time-frequency domain methods which are extensively used in biomedical signal processing for denoising, analysis and classification purposes. The course covers the description of timefrequency domain, basic definitions and fundamental ideas on the distributions, the demonstration and applications of the common time-frequency and time-scale distributions such as short-time Fourier transform, the Wigner distribution, Cohen Class distributions and wavelets.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   This course is expected to help the student to get some insight of time-frquency domain signal processing techniques.
2   To get abilities to process biomedical signals for denoising, compression and analysis.
