Course Description
The goals of ECE 738 are summarized below:
- To introduce students to advanced topics in signal processing,
including matched subspace detection and spectral estimation.
- To give students experience in analyzing real data using
statistical signal 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.
The homework assignments and the take-home projects require Matlab
programming for analysis and design of signal processing algorithms.
Grading
Grading, homework, and exam policies are summarized in the course
information packet. A detailed lecture schedule is available on
the syllabus page.
