In addition, various resources (Web and handouts) will be used to supplement the text.

course topics

 

With signal processing becoming ubiquitous in today's computer literate world, a large number of application areas are growing in importance, both in industry and in the research community, such as seismic signal processing, speech data processing, medical image processing, radar signal processing, and sensor array processing. These problems have many different aspects, and a corresponding number of different solutions have been explored.

 

Signal Models (5 lectures)

 

Signal Representation and Approximation (6 lectures)

 

Signals, Systems, Noise (19 lectures)

  • Estimation Theory (Wiener, Kalman, Adaptive, Neural networks...)
  • Detection Theory (Neyman-Pearson, etc)
  • System Identification

 

student responsibilities

 

First and foremost, please check the class web pages frequently.

Students are also reminded of the Departmental Policy on Academic Dishonesty and are also urged to also read and abide by the professional ethics represented in the IEEE Code of Ethics. Especially relevant in the latter are the two guidelines:

 

grades

 

The components of the course will be weighted as follows in the final grade. The final grades will be set by matching a curve to the final course averages.
