SIGNAL PROCESSING


 

    In order to open the *.mcd or *.xmcd files and work with  Mathcad' you need the special software package, for which UofTartu has campus licence and which has been installed into all computers in Tähe 4 classes. 
If you have no or little experience with Mathcad,
an half-day reading of its manual is indispensable. Manuals for earlier versions are in the Tähe library, the newest one can be downloaded here.
