EBME 308. Biomedical Signals and Systems
Description
Quantitative analysis of biomedical signals and physiological
systems. System classification. Fourier and Laplace transforms.
Frequency response of systems and circuits. A/D conversion,
sampling, and discrete-time signal processing. Filter
design. Laboratory and computational experiences with
biomedical applications.
Course Goals
In this course, students develop an understanding of
the nature of biomedical signals and systems and of the
analytical and computational techniques used in their
analysis. Experience with biomedical signals and systems
is obtained through homework problems and computer laboratories.
The specific course objectives are to teach students
the engineering principles underlying linear systems
analysis and signal processing in the time and frequency
domains. In both the time- and frequency-domains, problems
are approached from both an analytical and a computational
perspective
Prerequisites
Anatomy and physiology (EBME 201, EBME
