Homework 3
Student name
Part 1:
My concentration is on signal processing and through reading
the wikipedia outline i have learned a lot about the history and
applications of this concentration from the article. Signal
processing has many categories such as (analog, continuous
time, discrete time ,digital , non-linear and statistical)
Analog is the simplest form of signal processing its non
digitized form of signals and its one of the most common types
of signal processing found in phones and radios.
Continuous time signals is dealing with ever changing domains
for signals its used into making programs for modeling time
relevant systems.
Discrete time signals is type of signals that come from discrete
points and its used for analog delays and multiplexers.

3. Digital signals are the digitized discrete time signals mainly
read by computers used for arithmetic operations.
Nonlinear signal processing deals with nonlinear signals
produced by nonlinear systems such as chaos harmonics and
subharmonics.
Statistical signal processing is approaching signals as stochastic
processes. Used to analyze photographs for disturbances and
noises.
Part 2:
I chose this concentration because i feel like signal processing
is a field that is ever evolving from the first radio in 1895 that
took 2 years to send one letter through the english channel to
now where we are using 5g technology to download a full
length movie in 3 seconds. It's a miracle that revolutionized
communication and made a huge world transform to basically a
small town. Being in the forefront in that field and see if I can
put my thumb print in history in such an important field to
humanity is a dream of mine.
Part 3:
The question I have is what military applications improved
and evolved through this concentration?

4. And is there employment opportunities in the military.
Part 4:
Spring 2020: EE 482 , summer2020:EE 442: Fall 2020 : EE
489, Spring 2021:EE483.
