Overall Educational Objective:
1. On completion of the course, students should be sufficiently familiar with the theoretical
structure, formal representation, computational methods, notation, and vocabulary of linear
models
2. To be able to apply them to the analysis and design of digital and analog communications and
control systems.
3. The students will be able to perform signal analysis with reference to spectrum analysis of
deterministic signals.

Assessments:
Teachers Assessment based on - Quiz/Home assignments/Mini Projects/any other (10%), called as In
Semester Evaluation (ISE).
Two examinations, for continuous evaluation during the term, SE I & SE II (20% each). Each
examination will be of one hour duration and will be assessed for 20 Marks on 33% of the syllabus
covered (between start of the term and first examination, generally based on Module 1 and 2 for SE I
and between first & second examination, generally based on Module 3 and 4 for SE II).
ESE (50%) The semester end examination of two hours duration and will be assessed for 50 Marks
and would be on entire syllabus with weightage 20% each for the syllabus of SE I (module 1 and 2)and
SE II (Module 3 and 4) and 60% on the syllabus covered after SE II (Module 5 and 6).
