Learning Outcomes
Outcome
Apply knowledge of signal analysis methods to engineering problems to:
Classify signals and systems.
Draw the signals in both time-domain and frequency-domain using the basic operations of signals.
Explain the impulse response, transfer function, and frequency response of a system.
Compute the response of a system to an input using different methods.
Compute the Fourier series, Fourier transform, Laplace transform, and z-transform.
Explain the sampling theorem.
Outcome
Analyze and design simple systems:
Analyze signals and systems by applying the Fourier transform, Laplace transform, and z-transform.
Design a simple filter using MATLAB and/or Simulink.
Outcome
Demonstrate ability to solve engineering problems:
Perform experiments with lab equipment such as the spectrum analyzer, Function generator, and oscilloscope.
Analyze and interpret the experiment results using appropriate methods.
Demonstrate good team work in group lab experiments.
Write professional lab reports.
