EE 316 Signals and Systems I

Fall 2009

Instructor:       Songxin Tan, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering, South Dakota State University

Office:             ECS 225 

Telephone:      688-4994 (O)

Email:             Songxin.Tan@sdstate.edu

Lecture:          ECS 131, M W F, 8:00 AM to 8:50 AM

Prerequisite:   EE 221 Circuits II and MATH 321 Differential Equations. Students need to have some Matlab programming experiences.

Office Hours: Monday 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM, Tuesday 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM, Thursday 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, and Friday 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM or by appointment.

 

Course Objectives:

This course introduces EE students to the basic concepts of analog signals and systems. Students are required to understand the mathematics and practical issues on topics such as: continuous time signals, linear time invariant (LTI) systems, convolution, Fourier transform and Laplace transform. The course provides students with the necessary knowledge in signal processing and also provides practical experiences in using signal and system analysis through examples. Students are expected to be able to analysis signals and systems by using the time domain as well as the frequency domain method after taking this course.

Announcements:

1.      Exam #1 is rescheduled to be on Friday (Oct. 9th).

2.      Exam #2 is scheduled on Nov. 4th. It will cover materials including system stability and Fourier series. It is closed-book and closed-notes. You are allowed to bring one equation sheet.

1.      I will be in ECS 218 Monday from 4:30 to 5:30 to answer all your questions. Please come if you have any questions. I will not bring extra examples (so you won’t miss anything even if you can’t make it).
