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 project.

Grading Scheme:

A-, A, A+

Student has tried hard and knows the course material very well.

B-, B, B+

Student has tried hard and knows the course material well.

C

Student has tried hard but does not know the course material well.

F

Student has not tried hard and does not know the course material.

F-ABS

Student has been absent in the 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.

Project (15%):

The project involves simulation of a system using MATLAB. This is a group project and a report has to be written. Details of this project will be provided later.

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 "Academic Code of Conduct" which can be found in Concordia University Graduate Calendar.

Important Note:

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