Learning outcomes

The students

  • understand the meaning of the fundamental statements of information theory and the resulting framework conditions for the practical processing of sensor data.
  • master the conversion of digital to analog data vice versa as well as its behavior in the time and frequency domains.
  • know different filters and understand their implications for signal data.
  • can analyze the behavior of sensors and actuators in reality and implement appropriate compensation approaches in practice.
  • understand the relationship between different signal sources and can implement context awareness in a system on the basis of a semantic connection.
