COURSE OUTCOMES

Students are able to

CO1: derive and analyse the statistical properties of the conventional spectral estimators, namely the periodogram, averaged & modified periodogram and Blackman-Tukey methods.

CO2:  formulate  modern,  parametric,  spectral  estimators  based  upon  autoregressive  (AR),  moving average (MA), and autoregresive moving average (ARMA) models, and detail their statistical properties. Describe the consequence of the term resolution as applied to a spectral estimator.

CO3: define techniques for calculating moments in spectral and temporal domains; Analyze filter bank method, capon methods for spectrum estimation.

CO4: demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the principles of parametric and non-parametric array processing algorithms.

        CO5:  select  an  appropriate  array  processing  algorithms  for  frequency  estimation  and  sonar,  radar applications.
