Courses of first two years in Information Engineering. In particular, Signal Theory.

E.Baccarelli, N.Cordeschi, M.Biagi, "Communication fundamentals - a system approach", Esculapio Ed.(in Italian),2012 Chapters 1 - 16. Part of the material is available at: http://enzobaccarelli.site.uniroma1.it/

Lesson method: "Blendeed " lessons with the support of FLIP and Webcam. The requiring students are reiceved in presence.

The attention is recommended. Four lessons per week

A single test in classooom of two hours of duration. The test is composed by five open questions. The maximum score of each open question is 6/30th. The test target is the evaluation of the skills acquired by the attending students.
