Objective

This course will introduce concepts in the design and implementation of digital signal processing (DSP) and communication systems via integrated circuits. Algorithm and architecture design techniques will be introduced that enable joint optimization across the algorithmic, architectural, and circuit domains.

Homework

Homework will be assigned every other week except during the weeks in which term paper presentations and project demonstration are there.

Project

This is a project-oriented course in which the students will be designing and evaluating the implementation of a signal-processing algorithm.

Honor Code

Students are expected to follow the ODU Honor Code for all assignments and exams. Any violations will be dealt with strictly according to university policy. However, this is also a course, which requires a lot of interaction, and sharing of ideas is encouraged. But all work that you turn in with your name on it should reflect your work, not someone else's. If at any time you have a question about whether you are violating the Honor Code, please ask me to make sure.

Disabilities

Students who have documented disabilities in accordance with university guidelines will be provided appropriate opportunities if the documentation is brought to the instructor's attention.
