Course
Description:
This course introduces
fundamental theory and techniques for characterizing signals and linear systems
and their applications. Topics covered include: Linear system theory for analog
and digital systems. Linearity, causality, time invariance. Impulse response,
convolution, stability. The

Exams: There will be two midterm exams (non-cumulative) plus one final exam
(cumulative). There will be approximately weekly quizzes. All exams will be
closed books.
Homeworks: Approximately
weekly assignments. Homework must be turned in at the beginning of class on the due date. Homework solutions will be provided in the class on
the due date. Therefore, no late submissions will be accepted. Students may
work on a homework together, and submit one single solution with multiple
names. BUT you are responsible to understand the solution of each submitted
problem. Also even if you work with others, it may be beneficial for you to
write your own solutions to train your problem solving and presentation skills.
Labs:
Lab will meet every
week. The lab will consist of computer-based exercises using MATLAB. You must
bring your laptop to the lab, with MATLAB installed on your computer. Lab
reports must be turned in the following week at the beginning of the lab hour.
Students may work together on the labs, however, each student must write up
their lab report on their own. Part of the grade for the lab component will be
based on your progress during the lab session. In addition, two lab quizzes
will be given. The first lab quiz will cover elementary MATLAB commands. The
second lab quiz will cover concepts from lectures and labs together with MATLAB
usage. The lab manuals and additional information on the lab are available
at http://taco.poly.edu/selesi/EE3054/lab/
Software
Required:
MATLAB is a required
software package for this course. Students registered for this course can have
MATLAB installed on their laptop computer by the Information Systems Laptop
Help Desk. Otherwise, the student version of MATLAB is available at www.mathworks.com or at the bookstore (about
110$). You will also need the Signal Processing Toolbox (an extra 30$).
Grading Policy:
Test 1 20%, Test 2 20%,
Final 25%, Quizzes 10%, Homework 5%, 2 Lab quizzes 5% each, Lab reports 5%, Lab
activity 5%
In the event academic
dishonesty occurs during a quiz or exam, a score of zero will be given for that
test. Also, the student may be given
failing grade for the course.
