Grading:
Note that the course is cross-listed as both an undergraduate and a
graduate course. The graduate course requires a project (survey paper,
for details please scroll to the bottom of the webpage). Graduate and undergraduate students are graded differently according to the following schedules:
Grading EE351M (undergraduate), tentative:
- Homeworks: 15%
- Midterm exams: 45%
- Final exam: 35%
- Class participation: 5%
Grading EE381K-8 (graduate), tentative:
- Homeworks: 10%
- Midterm exams: 35%
- Final exam: 30%
- Project: 20% (scroll to the bottom for details)
- Class participation: 5%
Homework policy: There will be roughly weekly homework assignments.
Homeworks are to be submitted at the beginning of the class when they are due. You may discuss homework problems with other students, but must submit your own independent solution. Late homework assignments will not be accepted.
- Prerequisites: EE313 Linear Systems and Signals and
EE351K Probability and Random Processes, with a grade of at least C in each.
- Official course description:
Sampling, aliasing, truncation effects; discrete and fast Fourier transform
methods; convolution and deconvolution; finite and infinite impulse response filter design methods; Wiener, Kalman, noncausal, linear phase, median, and prediction filters; and spectral estimation.
- Course outline:
- Review of Discrete-Time Signals and Systems
- z-Transform
- Sampling and Digital Processing of Continuous-Time Signals
- Analysis of Linear Time-Invariant Systems
- Structures for Discrete-Time Systems
- Filter Design Techniques
- The Discrete Fourier Transform
- The Fast Fourier Transform
- Analysis of Signals Using the DFT
- Advanced Topics
- Handouts:
- Project Specifications (for EE381K-8 graduate course only):
Details:
The graduate course, EE381K-8, requires a final project. This
should be a survey paper: a report in the format of a journal or a conference paper that provides a survey of a chosen topic.
The project should have a detailed survey component and a simulation component for full credit, should be unbiased, and well written.
Both individual projects and projects by groups of 2 are acceptable. Group projects are expected to be more refined/polished relative to a single student project.
Timeline:
Formal "Project Proposal" is due on 4/7/15, in class. Please include realistic plan of action proposed, including action items and a timeline. At least 2-3 papers that you have read should be cited. Proposal format: 1-2 pages in length (2 pages preferred) with 11pt or 12pt font, single spacing, and standard 1 inch margins. The final project reports are due 5/7/15, the last class meeting.
Evaluating final reports:
- (15 points) In the Introduction section, the article should provide background on the general area and motivate the survey.
- (10 points) The references should be relevant to the topic of the
survey. Journal papers are preferred.
Including references which present different approaches to the
solution of the same problem is desirable.
- (65 points) The main part of the article -- survey of the area --
should provide details about the area/problem being surveyed; give a
thorough description of the contributions in the cited papers;
compare and contrast different contributions, including numerical/simulation illustrations; and give some insight and provide suggestions for future work.
- (10 points) Since this is a report, please take care of clarity and style thereof. Please use 11pt or 12pt font (references may be 10pt),
standard 1 inch margins. Preferred length (not including
title, abstract, figures, codes, and table-of-contents) is 10-12 pages.
