Introduction To Adaptive Signal Processing

By Prof. Mrityunjoy Chakraborty | IIT Kharagpur

Learners enrolled: 1229 | Exam registration: 93

ABOUT THE COURSE:

Adaptive filters play a very significant role in most of today’s signal processing, communication and control applications. Their ability to process data under conditions not predictable a priori make them very useful in a diverse array of applications like radar, sonar, wireless communications, speech and audio processing, instrumentation, exploration geophysics etc. The topic of adaptive filters is very closely related to neural networks and machine learning. While a full course on adaptive filters is very involved and needs concepts from linear algebra, probability and random variables, for this particular treatment, care has been taken to maintain a minimum prerequisite requirement. Mathematical concepts necessary will be developed as part of the course. The main purpose will be to provide the participants an introduction to the subject and to prepare them for taking further studies in this and related subjects.

INTENDED AUDIENCE: Students belonging to the following disciplines : Electrical Engg., Electronics and Communication Engg., Instrumentation Engg., Information technology and Computer Science, Geophysics, Statistics

PREREQUISITES: Basics of Signals and Systems and / or Digital Signal Processing

INDUSTRY SUPPORT: Qualcomm, Signion, LRDE (DRDO), BEL, DLRL (DRDO)

Course certificate

The course is free to enroll and learn from. But if you want a certificate, you have to register and write the proctored exam conducted by us in person at any of the designated exam centres.

The exam is optional for a fee of Rs 1000/- (Rupees one thousand only).

Date and Time of Exams: 29 October 2023 Morning session 9am to 12 noon; Afternoon Session 2pm to 5pm.

Registration url: Announcements will be made when the registration form is open for registrations.

The online registration form has to be filled and the certification exam fee needs to be paid. More details will be made available when the exam registration form is published. If there are any changes, it will be mentioned then.

Please check the form for more details on the cities where the exams will be held, the conditions you agree to when you fill the form etc.

CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE

Average assignment score = 25% of average of best 6 assignments out of the total 8 assignments given in the course.
Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100

Final score = Average assignment score + Exam score

YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE ONLY IF AVERAGE ASSIGNMENT SCORE >=10/25 AND EXAM SCORE >= 30/75. If one of the 2 criteria is not met, you will not get the certificate even if the Final score >= 40/100.

Certificate will have your name, photograph and the score in the final exam with the breakup.It will have the logos of NPTEL and IIT Kharagpur .It will be e-verifiable at nptel.ac.in/noc.

Only the e-certificate will be made available. Hard copies will not be dispatched.
