Overview
ECE 2026 is a 3 credit hour ECE class with a lab requirement. It is a requirement for both electrical engineering and computer engineering majors.[1]
The course emphasizes learning on discrete-time signal processing and linear, time-invariant systems. MATLAB is used for all labs in order to create examples of these linear, time-invariant systems. ECE 2026 is often an electrical or computer engineer's first exposure to a purely ECE course. As such, it is a young student's first exposure to a heavy engineering workload. Labs should be taken seriously and done ahead of lab time.
Topics
As of Spring 2021,[1] the topics covered in the class were:
- Discrete-Time Signals and Systems
- Sinusoids and Complex Amplitudes
- The Spectrum
- The Sampling Process
- Shannon's Sampling Theorem
- Aliasing
- Digital Filters
- Finite-Impulse-Response (FIR) Filters
- Linearity and Time-Invariance: Convolution
- Frequency Response
- Infinite-Impulse-Response (IIR) Filters
- Relationship between Continuous-Time and Discrete-Time Frequency Domains
- Discrete Fourier Analysis
- DTFT: Discrete-Time Fourier Transform
- DFT: Discrete Fourier Transform
- DFS: Discrete Fourier Series
- Application: Spectrograms for Time-Frequency Analysis
- The Z-transform
- Zeros and Poles
- Three Domains: Relationship among Time, Frequency, and Z domains
Lab Topics may include:
- Introduction to MATLAB
- Complex Exponentials and the Spectrum
- Music or Speech Synthesis with Sinusoids
- Image Processing: e.g. Edge Detection, De-blurring
- Bandpass Filtering: Touch-Tone Decoding
- Biomedical Applications: e.g. Hearing, Cochlear Implants, EKG.
How it Fits into the Curriculum
ECE 2026 is a requirement for EE and CmpE majors.[2] It is a prerequisite for ECE 2036, ECE 3025, ECE 3084, ECE 3600, ECE 4580, and ECE 4606.[3]
Current Registration Info
