ECE216: Signals and Systems

Spring 2012


Project Information

Purpose: The Matlab projects are designed to reinforce concepts covered in lecture and tutorials. The materials covered in the labs may appear on the midterms and the final exam.

Write-up: The report will consist of the standardized answer booklet (available below) and the attached plots.

Collaboration: You are encouraged to work with one other partner on this project. Each group of two should turn in a single report, with both of their names on it. Note that for the quizzes/midterm/final we expect both partners to understand all parts of the project.

No Plagiarism: The following policy is quoted from the department website: “Cheating: What Happens When a Student is Caught. Whenever a student is caught cheating, the incident is reported to the Undergraduate Office. The penalty is zero on the assignment/test. In addition, double the value of the assignment/test is removed from the final grade. Therefore, a student caught cheating on a test worth 25% will get no more than 25% on their final grade (0 on the test, and 50% removed from the final grade). The incident is also noted on their transcript for 5 years, which means that getting their first job will a challenge. A second offence will result in forced leave for one year. Officially, all penalties are determined by the Dean, but he accepts the department’s decisions in all cases where the assignment is worth 10% or less of a total course mark.”

Hand-in Procedure: Hand in your report in the wooden boxes on the fourth floor hallway of the Bahen center between rooms BA 4110 and BA 4010.

Late Report: Penalties will be applied for late submission. Each project is worth 10% of the term mark. The late penalty is 2% of the term mark per 24 hours. (If you are handing in the report late, indicate on your booklet the actual time at which the report is handed in and email the project TA at the same time.)

Returns: Marked reports will be returned to you during the tutorial. Please indicate the tutorial section in which you wish to get your report back.


Matlab Tutorial

Students are asked to have basic familiarity with MATLAB. You may wish to read the following MATLAB tutorial or MATLAB Primer to learn about basic Matlab functionalities. Matlab also has an extensive help section.
