This course is a four-credit course, with three hours of lecture and three hours of lab scheduled per week.
For spring 2012, lecture will be held in ENS 115 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm, beginning January 17th and ending May 4th. The laboratory sessions will be held in ENS 252B on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from January 23rd to May 4th.
This course does not require a semester project nor does it have a final examination. Final grades will consist of laboratories, homework, and exams. Exams will be based on material covered during class lecture, on homework assignments, during laboratory sessions, and in reading assignments.
You may download all lecture materials (11 MB).
For the first half of the semester, the weekly schedule of lecture and lab topics follows. Reading assignments are also given, where JSK means Johnson, Sethares and Klein, Software Receiver Design, and WWM means Welch, Wright and Morrow, Real-Time Digital Signal Processing.
