BEE 511 Signal Processing I

Abridged Course Syllabus

    BEE 511 provides an introduction to analysis and characterization of digital signals and systems as well as design of digital filters. The course covers time and frequency-domain methods of describing and characterizing discrete-time signals and systems, analysis of LTI systems using convolution, the z-transform and its applications to analysis of LTI systems, techniques for designing FIR and IIR digital filters, and analysis of multi-rate systems. The course will demonstrate the application of MATLAB for analysis and design of discrete-time system. Several homework problems will require simulations using MATLAB.
    Major topics of the course are the following:

    • Introduction to Discrete Time-Signals and Systems
    • Analysis of LTI Systems
    • The Z-Transform and its Application to the Analysis of LTI Systems
    • Frequency Analysis of LTI Systems
    • Discrete Fourier Transform and FFT
    • Sampling and Reconstruction of Signals
    • Implementation of Discrete-Time Systems
    • Design of Digital Filters
    • Multi-rate Digital Signal Processing.

    Course Learning Goals:
    After successfully completing this course, you will be able to

    • Describe and characterize discrete-time signals and systems in time-domain.
