Course Outline:

Laplace Transform, Network Functions, Frequency Domain Analysis using Fourier Series and Transforms, Sampling Theory and z-transforms.

Learning Objectives:

• To continue frequency domain analysis using Fourier Series and Transforms for Circuit Analysis
• To introduce concepts in sampling theory and z-transforms

Homeworks, tests, and examinations:

• Homework Assignments during the semester aggregating @ 20%
• Laboratory @ 20%
• One final @ 20%
• Two mid-term @ 20% each

Tentative dates for all tests and other major components of course work:

• Mid-terms (1st week of October, 2nd week of November)
• Final (See schedule)
• Assignments (assigned during the semester with due date for each posted on the course webpage and announced in class)

Homework collection policy: Homework will be given about once every week and would be due a week after that. On the due day, homework will be due at the beginning of class. No late submissions allowed unless there is a verifiable emergency or instructor permission has been obtained in advance. Assignments may require use of Matlab.

Contact information for the course instructor:  I have an open door policy. If I am available and there are no urgent deadlines, I will see you. However, you may have to track me down to one of my offices; I am mostly in RP 406. Best way to reach me is on email, I respond very quickly.
