Brief description:
The goals of ECE 738 are summarized below:
- To introduce students to advanced topics in signal processing, including spectral estimation and array processing.
- To give students experience in analyzing real data using standard signal and array processing techniques.
- To provide students with the background they need to pursue independent research on these topics.
The work for this course consists of weekly homework assignments, three projects, and two in-class exams. For the third project each student will select a recent paper from the literature to analyze. Students will give oral presentations summarizing the results of Project 3 during the final exam period.
Grading, homework, and exam policies are summarized in the course information packet. A PDF version of the syllabus, including a detailed lecture schedule is available here.
