Course Objectives:
The objective of this course is to apply knowledge of mathematics (namely
algebra and calculus, complex variables and series) and engineering (basic
circuits) to make important insights on the signals (that is a stream of data)
and the systems (that process signals). This course is quite basic to the field
of communications (e.g., ELEC 363), control (e.g., ELEC 372), and signal
processing (ELEC 442).
3. Course Learning Outcomes:
Upon successful
completion of the course, students will be able to:
1. Demonstrate an
understanding of signal processing concepts including sampling, quantization,
digital filtering.
2. Apply sampling and quantizaion techniques to digitization of analog signals.
3. Apply knowledge of mathematics
(namely algebra and calculus, complex variables and series)
and engineering (basic circuits) in
analysis and synthesis (design) of digital systems.
4. Design experiments
including hypothesis formulation, data collection, danalysis
and interpretation
of signals based on
measurement and processing.
5. Use signal processing
simulation tools, Matlab, Simulink in a lab
environment
6. Demonstrate awareness of
limitations of simulation tools for signal processing

Exams:
One midterm and one final exam will be given. All exams will be
closed book. You will be allowed to prepare a formula sheet. If you miss the
midterm exam you lose the mark (unless you bring a medical note from Concordia
Health Services).
Assignments: One of the most
important skills that you can have as an engineer is the ability to read a
technical document and get something out of it. A technique to get more out of
what you read is to make notes and formulate questions and hypothesis as you
read. This takes the often passive activity of reading and makes it active.
Before the staring each subject you
should turn in at the beginning of
class:
1.
Three
pages of “jottings”. This is original handwritten material concerning the
material you have read. It can take
any form, for example: summary, questions that occurred to you, insights, etc.
2.
Three
sentences that summarize what you’ve read.
A teaching assistant will do two things:
1.
Check
that you did the jottings (no photocopies!!).
2.
Give
you a mark on your three sentences.
We will do this for Sept. 21, Oct. 5,
Oct. 21, Nov. 4 and Nov. 18. The best three of these five marks will yield 5%
of the final grade.

ask the TA.

There are no lab exemptions for this course.
If you are repeating this course you must redo the lab, obtain new data and
write a new lab report (including the any prelab). It is an academic offense to
submit lab reports or lab data from a previous term.
Lab
test: The lab tests for all sections will be held during
the week of Nov. 28 - Dec. 2, 2016. More
information on the scheduling of the times of the lab tests will be sent by
email a week prior to the lab tests.
See the Lab Guidelines.
Grading scheme:
Assignments 5%
(best 3 out of 5)
Quizzes:
