BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING

 
 

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 202)
Differential equations (MATH 224)

Class/laboratory Schedule
Three 50 minute lectures, one three hour laboratory session approximately every other week.

Typical Class Size
100

Semesters and Years Offered
Fall every year

Computer Usage
Students make extensive use of MATLAB in the assigned laboratories.

Laboratory Projects
Two-week duration projects are assigned bi-weekly.
