This course aims to provide an instruction to basic principles and tools for the analysis and design of control systems. It is intended for general graduate students in engineering and science. Topics to be covered include concepts, examples and designs of feedback, system modeling, linear and nonlinear dynamic behaviors, stability analysis, frequency domain analysis and design, transfer functions, PID control, and robustness of control systems.

Detailed study of graduate course material on an independent basis under the guidance of a faculty member.

Formal record of student commitment to project research under the guidance of a faculty advisor. A project report is required at the completion of each semester. May be repeated as necessary.

A guided teaching experience for Ph.D. students, with selected teaching assignments and directed performance evaluation, under the supervision of a faculty member, as a part of Ph.D. training designed for students' development of independent teaching skills.

An in-depth treatment of digital communications techniques and performance. Topics include performance of uncoded systems such as Mary, PSK, FSK, and multi-level signaling; orthogonal and bi-orthogonal codes; block and convolutional coding with algebraic and maximum likelihood decoding; burst correcting codes; efficiency and bandwidth; synchronization for carrier reference and bit timing; baseband signaling techniques; intersymbol interference; and equalization. Prerequisite: ECE 6711.
