| Course Description: | Random variables, vectors, and processes. Convergence and limit theorems. Memoryless, independent increment, Markov, and Gaussian random processes. Stationary random processes. Correlation and power spectral density. Mean square error estimation, detection, and linear estimation. Random noise in linear systems. |
| Prerequisite: | ECE 109
(Engineering Probability and Statistics) or equivalent. The prerequisite should be taken very seriously. Without working knowledge of basic probability and calculus at the level of ECE 109, it would require tremendous amount of efforts to keep pace with ECE 153. |

| Homeworks and Solutions |
| Students are encouraged to work on homework problems in groups but must write up their own solutions. If one uses materials other than the textbook or his/her own notes -- this applies to having discussions with classmates or searching the Internet -- the source should be clearly mentioned. Students are expected to exercise continued effort to maintain their academic integrity throughout the course. |
