Goals: This fundamental course teaches the principles of signal analysis and communications that are applied
through out all areas of electrical engineering. This course is very practical since it covers basic knowledge that
will be applied to higher-level ECE course work and professional employment after graduation. The
corresponding lab session will apply principals learned in lecture in a series of experiments that give the student
hands-on experience in both hardware and software measurements systems on communications and signal
processing. Programming in Matlab will be introduced to students if needed.
Time/Venue: Time: Monday, Wednesday & Friday, 7:30 am - 8:20 am
Venue: Engr 1-224
Topics:
•

Introduction to Signals
Analysis & Transmission of Signals
Amplitude (Linear) Modulation
Angle (Exponential) Modulation
Sampling Theorem & Pulse Time Division Multiplexing
Comment: The objectives of the lectures are to explain and to supplement the text material. Students are
responsible for the assigned material whether or not it is covered in the lecture. Students who wish to succeed in
this course should read the assignments prior to the lecture and should work all homework and lab assignments.
You are encouraged to look at other sources (journals, other texts, etc.) to complement the lectures and text.
ASSESSMENT
Final Assessment will be determined on the basis of:
Home work (Drop lowest score) 25%
Quizzes (Drop Lowest Score) 25%
Lab: 25%
Exam (comprehensive) 25%
Grading Distribution:
Percentage grade = (grade/the highest grade in class)x100%.

Homework Policy
The completion and correction of homework is a powerful learning experience; therefore:
•
•
•
•
•
There will be approximately 9 or 10 homework assignments.
Homework is due one week after assignment unless otherwise noted.
Homework solutions will be provided on the due date
Late homework’s (submitted after the solution is given) will be reduced by 50% unless you receive the
consent of the instructor before the due date.
The course grade will be based on the average of the HW grades (after dropping the lowest score).
Quizes
Quizes will be held at the completion of each Chapter (2 – 5). The course grade will be based on the average of
the highest 3 of 4 quiz grades.
Note:
•
•
•
No make-up exam is given except for CLEAR medical proof.
No exam is given if you are 15 minutes late in the midterm exams and 30 minutes late in the final exam.
Even if you are late in the exam, you must turn in at the due time.
Cheating is absolutely prohibited by the university.
