ICT Elementary for Embedded Systems

General Information

This course provides and/or reviews some background knowledge necessary for the students in the Master of Engineering program in Information and Communication Technology for Embedded Systems (ICTES). It covers basic information about the program, how to read and write research articles, fundamental topics in Mathematics (probability, statistics, vector, combinatorics, matrix, information theory), fundamental topics in signal/electronics (analog circuit, signal processing, Fourier transform, principles of comminications, data communication, microprocessors), creative and thinking.

Here, only course materials for the Dr.Prapun's parts on Fourier transform and principles of communications are provided.
