SIGNALS AND SYSTEMS
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The course is designed to provide the fundamental concepts in signals and systems by their
mathematical descriptions. The course will enable you to understand how signals, systems and
inference combine in prototypical tasks of communication, control and signal processing. The
focus of the course is on the class of systems called linear time invariant systems. Significant
emphasis will be place both on time domain analysis of systems through the operation of
convolution and on frequency domain analysis of systems using the Fourier and Laplace
transforms. Both continuous-time and discrete-time signals will be considered. Several examples
from engineering practice will be used throughout the course.

symmetry
Linear time invariant systems description either using linear constant coefficient
differential equations or using their impulse response and finding a state space
representation of a system from a block diagram and vice versa
Various system properties such as linearity, time invariance, presence or absence of
memory, causality, bounded-input bounded-output stability and identifying whether a
given system exhibits these properties and its implication for practical systems
Process of convolution between signals, its implication for analysis of linear time
invariant systems and the notion of an impulse response
Solving a linear constant coefficient differential equation using Laplace transform
techniques
The intuitive meaning of frequency domain and the importance of analyzing and
processing signals in the frequency domain
Computation of the Fourier series or Fourier transform of a set of well-defined signals
from first principles, and using the properties of the Fourier transform to compute the

LOW POWER VLSI DESIGN
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Up until the last few years, uni-processor performance had been steadily
increasing every year for the past few decades due largely to the continuous improvements in
silicon fabrication technology. However, this improvement has slowed and even leveled off
recently as power and thermal issues have come to dominate design constraints. To help
overcome this slowdown in performance improvements, it is essential that designers integrate
power- and thermal-aware techniques into every aspect of their designs. This course deals with
the design of such digital systems. Issues that will be addressed include CMOS power
dissipation, analysis and design tools used for lower power digital circuits, design methodologies
for low power and thermal-aware CMOS circuits, low power architecture designs, and a
discussion on future challenges in low power digital design.
