This is an introductory course on state-of-the-art radio engineering with an emphasis on digital implementation of software defined radio (SDR) systems. SDR utilizes cutting-edge digital technologies to enable versatile and agile RF and wireless devices for a wide range of applications, including 5G wireless communications and next-generation radars. The technology platform can also be applied to AI-related computing and instrumentation applications. We begin with an overview of fundamental RF concepts and circuit techniques, followed by a discussion of several modern RF and wireless system architectures. Then we learn how to design basic RF circuits and subsystems using electronic design automation (EDA) tools. The main focus of the course is a project in which we design and implement an SDR using off-the-shelf RF components and an FPGA evaluation board. The project will be carried out in two phases: a) proposal and design, and b) build and tests. The course also covers RF test/measurement techniques related to the project. This project-based course will be structured in lectures and workshops in first 5 weeks, followed by the project in later 8 weeks. PREREQUISITES: ECE 222 , or equivalent, or permission of instructor.

Computer audition is the study of how to design a computational system that can analyze and process auditory scenes. Problems in this field include source separation (splitting audio mixtures into individual source tracks), pitch estimation (estimating the pitches played by each instrument), streaming (finding which sounds belong to a single event/source), source localization (finding where the sound comes from) and source identification (labeling a sound source). Prerequisites: ECE 246/446 or ECE 272/472 or other equivalent signal processing courses, and Matlab programming. Knowledge of machine learning techniques such as Markov models, support vector machines is also helpful, but not required.

This is an introductory course on state-of-the-art radio engineering with an emphasis on digital implementation of software defined radio (SDR) systems. SDR utilizes cutting-edge digital technologies to enable versatile and agile RF and wireless devices for a wide range of applications, including 5G wireless communications and next-generation radars. The technology platform can also be applied to AI-related computing and instrumentation applications. We begin with an overview of fundamental RF concepts and circuit techniques, followed by a discussion of several modern RF and wireless system architectures. Then we learn how to design basic RF circuits and subsystems using electronic design automation (EDA) tools. The main focus of the course is a project in which we design and implement an SDR using off-the-shelf RF components and an FPGA evaluation board. The project will be carried out in two phases: a) proposal and design, and b) build and tests. The course also covers RF test/measurement techniques related to the project. This project-based course will be structured in lectures and workshops in first 5 weeks, followed by the project in later 8 weeks.

This course is designed to introduce mechatronics and embedded systems. The course covers topics including microcontroller architectures, digital I/O, analog I/O, timers, counters, interrupts, analog to digital conversion, digital to analog conversion, communication, sensors, actuators, mechatronics, mechanical and electrical system models, transient response, and compensator design using root locus methods, frequency response methods, and state-space models. Students will learn to write C programs for embedded systems using microcontroller development boards and apply such knowledge to control physical systems that interact with the world through sensors and actuators. Prerequisites: ECE 112, ECE 113, ECE 114 |

This course provides an introduction to the C and C++ programming languages and the key techniques of software programming in general. Students will learn C/C++ syntax and semantics, program design, debugging, and software engineering fundamentals, including object-oriented programming. In addition, students will develop skills in problem solving with algorithms. Programming assignments will be used as the primary means of strengthening and evaluating these skills. Each student also has to complete a game project in C++ at the end of the semester. |

This course will introduce some of the things that Electrical and Computer Engineers do and the tools they use every day. Covers fundamental circuit concepts and components (voltage, current, resistance, switches, resistors, diodes, etc.), use of logic and microcontrollers to operate devices, spreadsheets and other tools to model engineering problems, measurement tools to verify operation, assembly and testing of circuits and devices. This is a required course for ECE majors. Co-requisite: MTH 161 or 141. |
