Signals and Systems
ECE 306

Study of the principles of signals and systems. The course combines lectures and simulation laboratory exercises to expose students to the theories and concepts of both continuous-time and discrete-time forms of signals and systems, as well as their applications in communication systems, control systems, and signal processing.
