filtering.
pre-req.: 2704. (3H, 3C) I.
meeting: TR 2:00-3:15 PM in SEB 125.
instructor: Prof. A. A. (Louis) Beex, Whit 462, voice: 540-231-4877, fax: 540-231-
3362, e-mail: beex@vt.edu
course supervisor: Prof. D. K. Lindner, 455 Durham, e-mail: lindner@vt.edu
office hours: MW 12:15 AM 1:45 PM; for other times, you may make an appointment
by e-mail.
required text: Linear Systems and Signals by B. P. Lathi, Oxford, 2
nd
ed., 2005.
required software: MATLAB, The Mathworks, a recent release (see
http://www.mathworks.com/).
on-line access: The course syllabus, assignments, some solutions, and some additional
notes, will be available to you through the class web site on Scholar.
tests: Tests 1 and 2 (T1, T2), during the second class period in the indicated week, will
be closed book/notes. Any make-up exam will be oral. The Final Exam (FE) may be
partly closed and partly open book/notes; details will be announced a few weeks before
the FE.
final exam: Monday 15 DEC 14, 1:05-3:05 PM.
grading: If the HWP are fully executed: T1 20%, T2 20%, HW 5%, HWP1 10%, HWP2
10%, FE 35%; numerical grades are given, which correspond to letter grades (4=A, 3=B,
etc.) using +/- scale (with the exception of the D-, which as a final grade converts to
F). Grading questions are to be resolved within one week of the work having been
returned, or made available, to you. Not fully executing the HWP incurs a penalty of one
full letter grade off your final course grade.
homework: Homework is primarily for your edification, practice, and self-assessment.
Solutions will be provided. Only selected problems will be graded. Late homework will
not be accepted.
homework projects: Definitive project due dates for the take-home Matlab projects will
be stated on the HWP assignments. Late projects incur a penalty of a full letter grade for
each 24-hour period (or fraction thereof).
attendance policy: Class attendance per se does not figure in your grade. However,
attendance does have a strong indirect impact, as you will be responsible for what is
covered and taught in class and through projects.
special needs: Students with special needs or circumstances (religious, conflicts,
disabilities, etc.) are encouraged to discuss these with me during my office hours.
Honor System: Cultivate an ethical, professional attitude. Discussions on lecture subject
material, to clarify your understanding, are highly encouraged. However, it is your
personal/own understanding only that should be reflected in all work that you turn in.
You may thus claim credit only for your own work. All graded work is covered by the
Honor Code; violations will be prosecuted.
Covered Topics:
5% Review of stability
10% Block diagrams and signal flow graphs
5% Introduction to state equations
10% Bode plots
15% Difference equations and Z-transforms
10% Sampling of continuous-time systems
20% Z-domain analysis, transfer functions, stability, and frequency response
10% Discrete Fourier transforms and FFTs
15% Introduction to digital filtering

Major Measurable Learning Objectives:
Having successfully completed this course, the student will be able to:
a. Describe complex systems with the use of block diagrams and signal flow
graphs.
b. Analyze the performance and stability of interconnected linear systems,
including feedback systems.
c. Construct Bode plots for systems and interpret these plots to predict system
responses.
d. Solve difference equations by using Z-transforms.
e. Analyze discrete-time systems with Z-transforms and transfer functions.
f. Sample continuous-time systems to create a discrete-time system model.
g. Compute discrete-time Fourier transforms and use fast Fourier transforms.
IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ACHIEVE THE COURSE OBJECTIVES. I
SEE IT AS MY TASK TO FACILITATE YOUR ACHIEVEMENT (We do not
receive wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves, after a journey through the wilderness
which no one else can make for us, which no one else can spare us - Marcel Proust).
