SignalQuest 2026

SignalQuest 2026 is an offline technical competition on Signals and Systems hosted by KIET Group of Institutions, Ghaziabad. It is designed for undergraduate students who want to test their conceptual understanding and practical problem-solving ability in signal processing.

What it is

• A one-day offline challenge held at KIET Deemed to be University, Ghaziabad.
• Participants decode, analyse, and reconstruct complex signals, applying theory to real-world constraints.
• The format tests both conceptual depth and applied problem-solving.

Who can participate

• Undergraduate students from any college.
• Intercollegiate and interdisciplinary teams are allowed.
• Team size: 1 to 3 participants.
• One participant cannot be part of multiple teams.

Topics covered

• Signals and signal properties
• LTI systems, properties and applications
• Continuous Fourier Transform (CFT)
• Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) and its properties
• Time and frequency characteristics of signals
• Laplace Transform (bilateral and unilateral)
• Z-Transform (bilateral and unilateral)
• Sampling of continuous-time and discrete-time signals
• Analysis of basic filters
• Signal analysis and processing fundamentals

The topic list is indicative and may include related concepts.
