Editing ECE 2026

{{DISPLAYTITLE:ECE 2026 - Introduction to Signal Processing}}

'''ECE 2026''' is a 3 credit class with a lab requirement. It is a requirement for both [[Electrical_Engineering |electrical engineering]] and for [[Computer_Engineering |computer engineering]] majors who are taking an [[electrical engineering]] thread.<ref name=":0">https://www.ece.gatech.edu/courses/course_outline/ECE2026</ref> The course emphasizes discrete-time signal processing and linear, time-invariant systems. [https://www.matlab.gatech.edu/ MATLAB] is used for all labs in order to create examples of linear, time-invariant systems.

* 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

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
This topic list is from spring 2019.<ref name=":0" />

== Workload ==
ECE 2026 is often electrical and computer engineering majors' first exposure to a purely ECE course and a heavy engineering workload. Labs should be taken seriously and done ahead of lab time.
== Registration ==
ECE 2031 is a [[Linked Course|linked course]].
