This introductory course on analog and digital communication systems emphasizes noise-free communications. Topics include amplitude modulation, phase and frequency modulation, sampling and quantization theory, and pulse modulation. This introductory course on control systems examines classical methods of feedback control, systems analysis, and design. Topics include modeling, transfer functions, performance measures, properties of feedback, stability, root locus, and some classical design methods and frequency response plots. Combinational and sequential logic circuits are covered.
Emphasis is on the practical use of digital logic, with an introduction to applicable theory.
525.130 Electrical Engineering Laboratory I is recommended. Students design and build circuits using these devices with the assistance of CAD software. This course covers analysis and design techniques for processing discrete-time signals and systems. A class project on the design and analysis of a digital filter is required.
