EE 578 SPEECH SIGNAL PROCESSING
F alternate years, to be offered even years 3 cr. LEC
3.
PREREQUISITE: EE 477.
-- Digital signal processing techniques that are used
to analyze, code, and manipulate speech signals will
be covered. Topics include modification, coding, enhancement,
and recognition of speech signals.
EE 580 SPECIAL TOPICS
On Demand 1 - 4 cr. Maximum 12 cr.
PREREQUISITE: Upper division courses and others as determined
for each offering.
-- Courses not required in any curriculum for which
there is a particular one-time need, or given on a trial
basis to determine acceptability and demand before requesting
a regular course number.
EE 581 FOURIER OPTICS AND IMAGING
THEORY
F alternate years, to be offered odd years 3 cr. LEC
3
PREREQUISITE: EE 334 or consent of instructor.
-- Optical propagation and diffraction using scalar
wave approach and Fourier Theory of imaging. Introduces
concepts of pupil function, point and line spread function
and optical transfer function, image formation with
coherent and incoherent light, holography and diffractive
optical elements.
EE 582 OPTICAL DESIGN
S alternate years, to be offered odd years 3 cr. LEC
3
PREREQUISITE: EE 482 or PHYS 426.
-- Optical design using geometric optics and computer
ray-tracing software. Introduces ray and wave front
aberrations, control of aberrations in optical systems,
designing for system requirements, and analytic tools
including the modulation transfer function for describing
the imaging and beam-conditioning properties of typical
optical systems, including lenses, mirrors, cameras,
and telescopes.
EE 583 REMOTE SENSING SYSTEMS
S alternate years, to be offered even years 3 cr. LEC
3
PREREQUISITE: EE 334 or PHYS 317 or equivalent.
-- Design, analysis, and calibration of electromagnetic
remote sensing systems. Combines an introduction to
atmospheric radiative transfer and wave propagation
principles with detailed coverage of radiometry and
optical detectors to analyze remote sensing systems.
The course considers the full electromagnetic spectrum,
but emphasizes optical systems at ultraviolet, visible,
and infrared wavelengths, including cameras, spectrometers,
radiometers, polarimeters, multispectral and hyperspectral
imagers, laser radars, etc.
