ECE 320

Signals and Systems II
Spring '98

Class Time: Tuesday & Thursday, 3:00 - 4:15 p.m., Robinson Hall, Room B103, Dr. Beale
Graduate Teaching Assistant: TBA
Prerequisites: Grade of C or better in ECE 220 or POI.
Text: Signals and Systems, Continuous and Discrete, Third Edition, R.E. Ziemer, W.H. Tranter, and D.R. Fannin,
Macmillan Publishing, 1993, Chapters 8 - 10.

ECE 320 is a continuation of ECE 220, Signals and Systems I. This second semester will consider signals and systems in discrete time. A strong analogy with the material presented for continuous-time signals and systems in the first semester will be seen. Signals and systems will be described and analyzed in both the time and frequency domains.
