Topics include continuous and discrete random processes, correlation and power spectral density, optimal filtering, Markov chains, and queuing theory. admin stochastic engineering computer electrical processes 2008-03-11T18:04:32Z Course text/html http://ocw.usu.edu/Electrical_and_Computer_Engineering/Information_Theory Information theory explores the fundamental limits of the representation and transmission of information. We will focus on the definition and implications of (information) entropy, the source coding theorem, and the channel coding theorem. These concepts provide a vital background for researchers in the areas of data compression, signal processing, controls, and pattern recognition. admin information engineering computer electrical theory 2008-02-01T04:02:53Z Course text/html http://ocw.usu.edu/Electrical_and_Computer_Engineering/Signals_and_Systems Systems realizations. Time and transform domain analysis of discrete-time systems. Vector-space concepts and Fourier series. Fourier transforms in continuous and discrete time. Some lab and computational work required. admin signals engineering computer electrical systems 2008-03-11T18:06:26Z Course text/html http://ocw.usu.edu/Electrical_and_Computer_Engineering/Communication_Systems_I_1 The first portion of the class will cover topics in analog communication. Beginning with basic Fourier transform properties, techniques for analog modulation and demodulation will be developed. Insights to these problems will be uncovered along the way. The majority of this course will be devoted digital communication. admin communication engineering computer electrical systems 2008-03-11T18:06:56Z Course text/html http://ocw.usu.edu/Electrical_and_Computer_Engineering/Science_of_Sound This course is offered as a regular class Fall Semesters on the USU campus in Logan, Utah. There are 8 modules representing 8 different aspects of sound. admin engineering computer electrical soundscience 2008-03-11T18:07:03Z Course text/html http://ocw.usu.edu/Electrical_and_Computer_Engineering/Communication_Systems_I The first portion of the class will cover topics in analog communication.

Linear codes, both block and convolutional, will be introduced, followed by a description of the algebraic tools necessary to describe and implement Reed-Solomon codes. Modern algrebraic concepts including Galois fields will be presented, along with circuit implementations. Also, convolutional codes and trellis-coded modulation will be covered, along with the Viterbi algorithm for decoding. Low-density parity check codes and Turbo codes will be covered, as time permits. Much of the learning will be expressed in formal (theorem/proof) format to develop rigor. admin control coding engineering computer electrical error Prof. Todd K.
