Course Information


 

 


Signal Processing Series


 

Signal Processing deals with the operation of extracting, enhancing, storing, and transmitting useful information. This is probably second only to mathematics in terms of the number of areas it has been applied to from acoustics, audio, biomedical, communication, geophysics, image, sonar, speech, radar, terrestrial, to any other data including mechanical vibrations, transportation, and financial data analysis.

Communications and Networking Series



Communications Systems deals with all aspects of information transmission over wired (telephone/cable/optical-fiber) and wireless (satellite/digital radio/cellular) channels. Communication plays such a big role in everyday life, one can fully realize the impact of this technology on society if only you can think of living a day without your telephone/cellphone, television, tablets and other mobile devices such as pagers.
Communication Networks (Wired/Wireless) focus on transportation of multimedia between interconnected groups of hosts/computers, switches, routers, and a host of other input/output devices . The explosive growth of the internet explains the reason why email addresses have replaced telephone numbers. Truly the next century will be the age of the information revolution.
