|
Objectives |
The concepts of signals and systems arise
in all areas of technology, an example is signal processing. This course
provides an introduction to the analysis in the time- and frequency- domain
using Fourier and Laplace transforms for
continuous-time and discrete-time signals. Concepts such as the linear
input/output differential/difference equations, convolution of
continuous-time and discrete-time signals, generalized Fourier transform,
impulse response function, transfer function, etc., will be introduced and
discussed. Back |

Learning Activities |
Discussion of the main points in lectures
will complement reading assignments (click on Course Syllabus above).
Students are encouraged to do the examples with solutions that appear after
each section in the text. Homework problems are very important to learn the
materials. Matlab will be introduced and used in
several exercises.

Assessments |
The students can monitor their
progress by doing the weekly homework assignments. The weekly problem sets
will usually be assigned on Tuesdays and due a week later in class. There will be a mid-term exam every four weeks, and an
accumulative final. The grade distribution will be home-works (15%), exams
(45%), and final (40%). Back |
