Evaluation scale

H-5

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

Knows the characteristics of the frequency spectrum for a periodic signal
Knows the characteristics of the frequency spectrum for an aperiodic signal
Can interpret the results of a frequency analysis

Assessment criteria, good (3)

Can use Fourier Series conversion tables to determine the frequency spectrum of some typical signals.
Understands, on a fundamental level, the relationship between the rate of change of the signal and the frequency spectrum of the signal.
Can use a frequency analyzer.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

Master the integral technique to determine the fourier coefficients for periodic signals.
Master the transform technique to determine the frequency spectra of aperiodic signals.
Can use a frequency analyzer and is also familiar with the use of Matlab as a tool for frequency analysis.
