4.00 Credits
Retired August 31, 2004. Introduces the design and analysis of real-time systems from a top-down perspective. Covers general principles and practices, types of real-time systems, specification of system requirements, techniques for resource allocation and reservation, and features of system software to support application development. Also involves implementation and simulation of one ingredient in a real-time system, such as a scheduler.

Introduces basic concepts of digital communication over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels. Reviews frequency domain signal analysis through treatment of noiseless analog communication. Reviews foundations of stochastic processes including stationarity, ergodicity, autocorrelation, power spectrum, and filtering. Provides an introduction to lossless and lossy source coding and introduces Huffman and Lempel-Ziv algorithms. Introduces optimal quantization and PCM and DPCM systems. Examines geometric representation of signals and signal space concepts, principles of optimum receiver design for AWGN channels, correlation and matched filter receivers, and probability of error analysis for binary and M-ary signaling through AWGN channels, and performance of ASK, PSK, FSK, and QAM signaling schemes. If time permits, also covers digital PAM transmission through band-limited AWGN channels, zero ISI condition, system design in the presence of channel distortion, and equalization techniques.

Explores analog radio electronics through the design and construction of a 7 MHz radio transceiver (the NorCal 40A). Offers an overview of radio designs and components. Describes the phasor analysis of series and parallel resonant circuits. Presents transmission line concepts including phasor analysis for waves, the telegraphist's equations, dispersion, resonance, quality factor, and lines with loads. Introduces radio filter designs including ladder filters, band-pass filters, as well as filters using crystals and impedance inverters. Introduces working concepts of transformers and speakers. Describes transistor switches and Class B, C, D, E, and F amplifiers. Presents the fundamentals of oscillators and mixers. Also discusses antennas and propagation fundamentals including impedance, Friis's formula, and reciprocity. Dipole and whip antennae are used as practical examples.

4.00 Credits
Describes the personal communications network (PCN) and personal communications services (PCS). Examines the first-, second-, and third-generation cellular systems used in the United States, Europe, and Japan. Explores narrow-band channelized and wide-band non-channelized wireless communication systems. Focuses on access technologies, considering capacity, performance, and spectral efficiency. Presents the propagation and multipath characteristics of a radio wave as well as how to calculate propagation losses in urban, suburban, and rural environments. Studies the fundamentals of cellular communications including the relationship between the reuse ratio and cluster size for hexagonal cell geometry. Covers digital modulation techniques, emphasizing modulation schemes used for cellular/wireless communications. Discusses antennas and diversity techniques. Concludes with an overview of the global system for mobile communications (GSM).

4.00 Credits
Introduces the analysis and design of classical (single-input, single-output) control systems. Examines control system objectives, modeling and mathematical description, transfer function and state variable representations, feedback control system characteristics, system responses, and stability of feedback systems. Also addresses compensator design based on root-locus and frequency response and introduces concepts important for engineering implementation such as system uncertainty and design robustness.
-
1.00 Credits
Accompanies ECE U580. Covers the practical aspects of control systems design through lab experiments. Topics vary and include computer simulation, digital computer control, and use of CAD packages such as MATLAB for analysis and design of control systems. Examples emphasize concepts introduced in ECE U580, such as system response to stimuli, stability, and robustness.
