Signals and Information

Course Description

Course information provided by the 2017-2018 Catalog.

Introduction to signal processing. Topics include frequency-based representations: Fourier analysis and synthesis; discrete time linear systems: input/output relationships, filtering, spectral response; analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion; continuous time signals and linear time invariant systems: frequency response and continuous-time Fourier transform.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: MATH 2930 and CS 1110 or CS 1112. Corequisite: MATH 2940.

Outcomes

• Use phasors and spectra in analysis of complex exponentials and sinusoids.
• Use convolution, frequency response, and z and Fourier transforms to analyze input-output behavior of continuous-time and discrete-time LTI systems.
• Understand sampling, aliasing, and reconstruction in the time and frequency domains and analyze signals in time or frequency domain in a system composed of continuous-time and discrete-time components in addition to discrete-to-continuous and continuous-to-discrete converters.
• Use the relationship of frequency response, time response, and system function singularities to design frequency selective filters and discrete-time and continuous-time LTI systems.
