Course Objectives

In this course, the student will attain theoretic and algorithmic principles required to:

• develop an overview of signals and linear systems concepts: properties, types and classification into
continuous- and discrete-time.
• comprehend Fourier Transform, Fourier Series, and Laplace Transform: their its properties, and
applications in various systems in continuous-time systems. The same thing is true for the Z-transform
and discrete Fourier Transform.
• To gain experience in applying taught concepts to real systems (using the MATLAB signal processing
toolbox).

Teaching & Learning Methods

S Class lectures, lecture notes, assignments, and tutorials are designed to achieve the course
objectives.
S You should read the material covered in class, complete assignments on time, participate in class
discussions, and do whatever it takes for you to grasp the topics.
S You are responsible for all material covered in the class.
S Please communicate any concerns or issues as soon as possible either in class, or by E-mail.
S The web page is a primary communication vehicle. It will contain homework assignments, study
guides, and important instructions.

Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this course, the student will have the ability to:
• Demonstrate understanding of basic signal and system concepts and implementations.
• Perform continuos- as well as discrete-time transforms in various applications.
• Demonstrate understanding of state variable formulations in multi-input multi-output systems
• Simulating the various concepts using the signal toolbox and simulink supported by MATLAB.

 Notes

Assignments • Late assignments will not be accepted. Failure of your computer is not an excuse
for not submitting your assignment on time.
• Submit a hard copy of your homework with your name, Section#, Sequence #,
SID, and Homework # on it.
• All homework assignments are to be done individually.
• Students handing in similar work will both receive a 0 and face possible
disciplinary actions

Exams • The format for the exams is generally (but NOT always) as follows: general
definitions, Multiple-choice, writing algorithms, analyzing algorithms, and short
essay questions.
• To make sure you pass the exams, you should do the assignments by yourself.

Makeup Exams • Makeup exam should not be given unless there is a valid excuse according to
JUST policies.
• Arrangements to take an exam at a time other than the one scheduled MUST be
made prior to the scheduled exam time (at least 2 weeks).

Drop Date • Last day to drop the course is 13/5/2004.

Cheating
• Cheating or copying from neighbor on exam, quiz, or homework is an illegal and
unethical activity.
• Standard JUST policy will be applied.

Workload • Average work-load student should expect to spend is 12 hours/week

Graded Exams • Instructor should return exam papers graded to students by the end of the week
following the exam date

Participation
• Participation in, and contribution to class discussions will affect your final grade
positively. Raise your hand if you have any question.
• Making any kind of disruption and (side talks) in the class will affect you
negatively.

Free Lab
• There is a free lab, in which you can have access to the Internet and work on your
assignments.

Attendance • Excellent attendance is expected.

• JUST policy requires the faculty member to assign ZERO grade (35) if a student
misses 10% of the classes without a valid excuse.
• Sign-in sheets will be circulated.
• If you miss a class, it is your responsibility to find out about any announcements or
assignments you may have missed.
