Course Content:

Review of discrete-time signals and systems; difference equation, the Fourier transform, the z-transform, the discrete Fourier series and transform; recursive and non-recursive digital filters, common digital filter structures, common design approaches for digital filters; A/D and D/A converters, digital processing of analog signals, signal interpolation and decimation; effect of finite word lengths, description of a typical DSP chip.

Softskill:

On top of the technical content of this course you will also be practicing an important skill that all engineers must have, namely the ability to use important "Engineering Tools". The engineering tool that you will be using in this course is MATLAB. MATLAB is a powerful tool for analysis and modeling as well as software prototyping of algorithms. This tool is used in your laboratory experiments.

For any reason, if you do not write both midterm and final exam.

Assignment (10%):

There will be 5 assignments which are to be answered and delivered before the due time. Solutions will be provided after the due time.

Midterm Exam (25%):

It is a closed book exam related to the material covered up to the midterm date. The midterm exam will be on Sunday July 17 th from 14:00 to 16:00 Tuesday July 19th from 11:45 to 14:15 (location to be announced). If you do not write the midterm exam without any legitimate reason, the grade of your midterm exam will be zero. If a student has legitimate reason not attending the midterm exam, he/she should immediately inform the instructor (either before or immediately after the exam). If you do not write the midterm exam but you have a legitimate reason, the final exam will be worth 75 marks.

Laboratory (15%):

There are 5 laboratories based on MATLAB which will be held in room H849 every Friday starting July 8 th . There will also be a final laboratory exam on the week of August 8 th

Final (50%):

Closed book exam, related to topics of whole course (time and location to be announced).

Academic Code of Conduct:

All Concordia University students must abide by the University's code of conduct which can be found in section 17.10 of Concordia University Undergraduate Calendar.

Important Note:

Please note that with each assignment or laboratory report a signed " expectations of originality form " should be submitted.
