ECE512F - Analog Signal Processing - Fall 2010

General

This course gives an overview of analog signal processing in both continuous-time and discrete-time. The course includes the design of analog filters including transfer function approximation (using MATLAB) as well as filter implementation using active-RC, transconductance-C, and switched-capacitor circuits. Other topics include data converters (Nyquist and oversampling) and noise in analog circuits.
