    DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING ECE-S 631

    INSTRUCTOR:

    • [   ] Prof. Athina Petropulu, Rm. 7-221, Tel. x2358, e-mail: athina@artemis.ece.drexel.edu
      Office Hours: Wed. 1:00-2:00, Mon. 5-6, or by appointment

    CLASS SCHEDULE: Monday 6-9, Rm. 27A-77

    COURSE OBJECTIVE:

    • [   ] The goal of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) is to extract the information carried by signals such as images, speech, video, man-made signals, etc. DSP is probably the most interdisciplinary subject of Electrical Engineering, with numerous applications in every field of engineering or science. The course will provide an in-depth knowledge of the basic principles of DSP. Although applications will be discussed, the emphasis will be placed on learning about the mathematical tools used in DSP today, and on understanding the information they convey about the signal.

    PREREQUISITE: Knowledge of Linear Systems and Transform theory

    TEXTBOOK:

    • [   ] Class Notes
    • [   ] Discrete Time Signal Processing, A.V. Oppenheim and R.W. Schafer, Prentice Hall, 1989.

    REFERENCES:

    • [   ] Digital Signal Signal Processing: Principles, Algorithms, and Applications, third edition, J.G. Proakis and D.G. Manolakis, Prentice Hall, 1996.

    GRADING POLICY:

    • [   ] There will be two exams, a midterm and a comprehensive final exam. The midterm will be held on Monday November 6, 2000, during normal class time, and the final exam will be held during final exams week. Midterm grades may be disputed up to two weeks after the exams are returned, after that, the grades are final. There will be no make up exams. Exam missed without formal excuse counts as zero.

      Homework will be assigned periodically and will be graded. Solutions will be provided on the due date.

      There will be a computer project that will be assigned during the seventh week of classes and will be due the last week of classes.  

      The final grade will be computed according to the formula:

      max{1/2(final)+1/2(midterm), 2/3(final)+1/3(midterm), 1/2(projects)+1/4(midterm), +1/4(final)}


      Borderline grade cases will be resolved based on the homework grade.
