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]

Overview

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:

  1. Discrete-Time Signals and Systems
  2. Sinusoids and Complex Amplitudes
  3. The Spectrum
  4. The Sampling Process
  5. Shannon's Sampling Theorem
  6. Aliasing
  7. Digital Filters
  8. Finite-Impulse-Response (FIR) Filters
  9. Linearity and Time-Invariance: Convolution
  10. Frequency Response
  11. Infinite-Impulse-Response (IIR) Filters
  12. Relationship between Continuous-Time and Discrete-Time Frequency Domains
  13. Discrete Fourier Analysis
  14. DTFT: Discrete-Time Fourier Transform
  15. DFT: Discrete Fourier Transform
  16. DFS: Discrete Fourier Series
  17. Application: Spectrograms for Time-Frequency Analysis
  18. The Z-transform
  19. Zeros and Poles
  20. Three Domains: Relationship among Time, Frequency, and Z domains

Lab Topics may include:

  1. Introduction to MATLAB
  2. Complex Exponentials and the Spectrum
  3. Music or Speech Synthesis with Sinusoids
  4. Image Processing: e.g. Edge Detection, De-blurring
  5. Bandpass Filtering: Touch-Tone Decoding
  6. 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

ECE 2031 is a linked course.

Prerequisites

Students must complete one of the following courses or groups of courses with a C or higher:

  1. MATH 1502/1512
  2. MATH 15X2 AND MATH 1522 (Relevant only to transfer students.)

Students must complete one of the following courses with a C or higher:

  1. CS 1371
  2. CS 1171 (May be taken concurrently with ECE 2026.)

AP/IB Credit

No AP or IB credit is available for this course.
