Course Objectives:

This course provides the foundations for the study in Communications, Signal Processing, Control, etc.

Through this course, students will learn
1. the concepts of signals and systems,
2. how to analyze linear time-invariant systems by using time-domain and frequency-domain approaches,
3. how to design linear time-invariant systems by using time-domain and frequency-domain approaches, and
4. how to convert a continuous-time signal to a discrete-time signal, and vice versa.

Course Outline

1. Signals and Systems
2. Linear Time-Invariant Systems
3. Fourier Series Representation of Periodic Signals
4. Continuous-time Fourier Transform
5. Discrete-time Fourier Transform
6. Time and Frequency Characterization of Signals and Systems
9. Laplace Transform
10. Z-transform
7. Sampling
8. Communication Systems
(11. Linear Feedback Systems)

Pre-requisites:

Calculus 1, Calculus 2, Linear Algebra, Circuit Theory, Complex Analysis

• You don't need to turn in the homework.
• Quizzes will be based on the homework problems. So, your attendance in the supplementary lectures is necessary to take the quizzes. There will be around 10 quizzes.

• Each exam consists of two parts: 1) 10-minute 10-problem part without crib sheet and 2) 4-hour 20-minute part with an A4-size crib sheet written on both sides.
• If you fail (Def. More than 2 incorrect answers out of 10 answers.) in any (1st, 2nd, and final) 10-minute part, then you fail the course.

• Course participation is graded subjectively by the instructor based on the class attendances, active participation in discussions, office hour visiting, etc.
• The progress in MATLAB programming project will be periodically checked throughout the semester. (Check the announcements).

Grading Policies for Homework and Quiz

1. Homework will be assigned approximately every week.
2. MATLAB programming assignment will be collected. In normal situations, late homework will be not be accepted. Other homework will not be collected. For other than MATLAB programming, collaboration is highly recommended.
3. Quizzes in every supplementary lecture will serve to check whether a student did his/her homework or not. Scores will be normalized to assure proper weighting for each assignment. 
4. Re-grade requests must be filed in writing within one week after the graded quiz has been returned to students.
5. Each sub-problem will be graded according to the following scale: 100%, 60%, 20%, and 0%. So, you had better have a complete solution than an incomplete solution.

Grading Policies for Exam 

1. Students may take exams earlier than the original schedule if he/she requests at least one week earlier. 
2. Excused class absence on an exam day may lead to a make-up exam for the absentee.
3. Re-grade requests must be filed in writing within one week after the graded exam has been returned to students.
4. Each sub-problem will be graded according to the following scale: 100%, 60%, 20%, and 0%. So, you had better have a complete solution than an incomplete solution.

Policy on Academic Dishonesty

If the instructor suspects academic dishonesty, the instructor will notify the student(s) and follow the procedure to report to the school without any exception. Students have the responsibility to be knowledgeable about the consequences of dishonesty.
