Description
CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:
The objectives of this course are to cover the modelling and analysis of continuous and discrete signals using linear techniques. Topics covered include: a review of Laplace transforms; methods for the basic modelling of physical systems; discrete and continuous convolution; impulse and step response; transfer functions and filtering; the continuous Fourier transform and its relationship to the Laplace transform; frequency response and Bode plots; sampling; the Z-transform. Students with credit for MSE 280 may not take ENSC 380 for further credit.
COURSE DETAILS:
This is an introductory course in signal and systems, for both continuous and discrete time. Major topics to be covered include mathematical description and properties of signals; time and frequency domain analyses, including impulse response, convolution, Fourier Series, and Fourier Transform; signal/system analyses, including filter, power spectrum, Bode plot, and communication systems; sampling of a continuous-time signal and Nyquist sampling rate.

Registrar Notes:
SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://students.sfu.ca/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating. Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.
Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community. Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
