SCI 311 Signals and Systems

Content

The concepts of signals and systems appear in a wide variety of fields. The physical nature of the signals to be acquired and the measurement systems may differ from application to application. They all have in common that the signals contain information about the observed phenomenon and secondly, the systems respond to particular signals by producing other signals or certain behavior as output. In this course we will learn how to characterize a system and how it will respond to various inputs. Furthermore, we will focus on how to design systems to process signals in particular ways, that is filtering techniques. Besides signal enhancement and signal restoration, we will look into the design of systems to extract specific pieces of information from signals. Finally, we will discuss the design of systems that allow for modifying or controlling the characteristics of another system.
