BIOE 5800 — Systems, Signals, and Controls for Bioengineers

4 semester hoursGraduateLectureusually offered: fall, springBostonTraditional

Explores the concepts of systems and transfer functions. Enables the breakdown of complex systems to simpler ones and the integration of simpler modules to form complex functions. Covers analytical tools, applies frequency-domain analyses (e.g., Fourier, Laplace, and Z-transforms) to simplify continuous and discrete-time systems, and assesses their stability and frequency responses. Examines the characterization and combination of analog and digital signals produced by electronic and biological circuits, as well as design controllers, to achieve desired biosystem behavior. Focuses on the design of filters and controllers in both analog and digital forms to measure and manipulate complex real-world bioengineering systems, including image processing for 2D signals.
