Problem Sets
There is no written homework in ECE 403. Instead, problem sets will be assigned every Wednesday, then reviewed orally in class every Friday. Students will be graded on presence and participation. If you discover that you will need to miss more than one Friday during the semester, please contact me to figure out a makeup assignment.

- Problem Set 2 (TeX) - Solutions
- Problem Set 3 (TeX) - Solutions: Page 1, Page 2
- Problem Set 4 (TeX) - Solutions: Page 1, Page 2
- Problem Set 5 (TeX) - Solutions: Page 1, Page 2
- Problem Set 6 (TeX) - Solutions
- Problem Set 7 (TeX) - Solutions
- Problem Set 8 (TeX) - Solutions
- Problem Set 9 (TeX) - Solutions: Page 1, Page 2, Page 3, Page 4
- Problem Set 10 (TeX) - Solutions - known bugs: solutions to problems 10 and 17 should vary radius as a function of |S(theta)|.
Exams
There will be two mid-term exams in class (on Feb. 27 and April 10), and one final exam (during the regular final exam period).
Labs
There will be five lab assignments (about one every other week, during the first ten weeks of class). Lab instruction will be given in 251 Everitt Lab. Lab reports should be written up in the format of an IEEE conference paper, using the IEEE style files.
Final Project
The final project will be a self-designed lab. Final project should be designed to bring together ideas from at least two of the core areas of this course: psychoacoustics, electroacoustics, room acoustics, and signal processing. You should cite material taught during the course, and you should also cite at least one full-length paper from an IEEE, AES, or ASA journal.
