Course Description: |
This course studies Continuous Signals and Systems. Time-Domain analysis is presented first. Tools covered are: Differential Equations, Impulse Response, and Convolution. Then Frequency-Domain analysis tools are presented. Including: Fourier Series and Transform, LaPlace Transform, and the Transfer Function. Sampling and the z-Transform are also introduced. The fundamentals of Thermal Noise are then introduced and engineering applications of the course material in circuits, communications and controls are briefly discussed. (3 credits) |

Grading:
20% Homework
40% Examinations (2 exams)
40% Final Exam
There will be no make-up examinations. If you are unable to take one of the mid-term examinations on the assigned date, let me know in advance to make alternative arrangements. If you are unable to take the final examination on the assigned date, then the instructor will record a course grade of incomplete which can be redeemed by taking the final examination when the course is next offered (usually 1 year later).
In case of a class cancellation, use U.S. mail, e-mail, fax, or hand delivery to send in any assignment by the Friday following the due date. The activity scheduled for a cancelled meeting date, whether exam or lecture, is automatically postponed to the next class meeting when it is eventually held. After a cancellation, an updated schedule will be issued.
Each reading assignment should be completed before the weekly meeting. Homework is due at the meeting following the week when it is assigned.
