IN5450 – Array Signal Processing
Course description
Course content
Learning outcome
After completing this course, you will have an understanding of:
- Apertures and arrays: Finite apertures, resolution, spatial sampling and arrays of discrete sensors, sidelobes and grating lobes.
- Beamforming: Delay-and-sum and frequency-domain beamforming, array gain and effects of finite accuracies. Coherence-based image reconstruction methods.
- Adaptive beamforming: Beampattern optimization, eigenanalysis methods, and how to assess the algorithm performance.
- Applications: Examples will be given from acoustic imaging, synthetic aperture sonar/radar, and tomography, among others. You will learn about central wave propagation and simulation concepts.
Admission to the course
Students who are admitted to study programmes at UiO must each semester register which courses and exams they wish to sign up for in Studentweb.
