reconstruction
 To make the students able to apply digital filters according to known filter specifications
 To provide the knowledge about the principles behind the discrete Fourier transform (DFT)
and its fast computation
 To make the students able to apply Fourier analysis of stochastic signals using the DFT
 To be able to apply the MATLAB program to digital processing problems and presentations
 To be able to apply DSP concepts, methods and algorithms in applications such
communication networks, image processing and data science.
