EE313 Linear Systems and Signals - Lectures

Fall 2023

This is a three-credit course that meets for three hours per week of lecture. Lecture begins on Tuesday, August 22nd, and ends on Thursday, November 30th. Each lecture is scheduled for 75 minutes. The final exam will be on Monday, December 11, 8:00-10:00am.

The lecture topics, reading assignments and deliverables for the semester follow, where DT means Discrete Time and CT means Continuous Time. The reading assignments are primarily from the required textbook Signal Processing First by J. H. McClellan, R. W. Schafer, and M. A. Yoder (SPFirst). Errata and a companion Web site are available.
