Prerequisites:

EE 102 (Systems and Signals) and EE110 (Circuit Analysis II)

Lectures:

Tuesday, Thursday 10-11:30, Room 9436 Boelter Hall

Recitations:

Monday: 9-9:50 in 5280 BH, and 12-12:50 in 4283 BH. Wednesday 8-8:50 4283 BH.

Course Description:

EE113 covers the basic principles of digital signal processing and digital filtering. Topics include: sampling theorem, properties of the z-transform, Discrete Fourier Transform, and Finite-impulse response (FIR) and Infinite-impulse response (IIR) filters.

Textbook:

Digital Signal Processing: Principles, Algorithms and Applications, third edition (1995), by Proakis and Manolakis. We will cover the first six chapters of the book.

Office Hours:

We strongly encourage you to come to our office hours! Bring your questions and learn from other students' questions.

Prof. Alwan: Tuesdays 12:30-3:00 in Room 66-147E Engr. IV, and by appointment
Joe Pham: Mondays: 8-9 and Wednesdays: 9-10 in 57-124 Engr. IV, and Wed. 10-11 in 66-124 (No. 23)

Homework:

Homework assignments are due one week after being handed out, usually on a Thursday. Homework assignments constitute a vital aspect of the course and must be handed in by the due date.

Grades:

Grades will be determined based on homeworks (25 %), a midterm exam (35 %), and a final exam (40 %). Active classroom participation can improve your subject grade. The midterm exam is scheduled for Tuesday Nov. 10th during class, and the final exam is scheduled for December 18th, 11:30-2:30 p.m.

Handouts:

Homework assignments, graded homeworks, and other handouts not picked up during lectures can be found outside Prof. Alwan's office (66-147E Engr. IV).
