This brief paperbound supplement provides 16 hands-on laboratory experiments that students can perform using MATLAB (R) in lab sections that accompany lecture courses in Linear Systems or DSP. The 16 experiments are grouped in four main topic areas: sampling and digital-to-analog (D/A) conversion; the discrete-time Fourier transform; gain and phase-shift studies of digital filters; and analog-to-digital (A/D) quantization. (See TOC below for a listing of specific lab experiments.) The goal of these experiments is to enable students to understand the full physical significance of key concepts through a deeper understanding of the underlying mathematical formulas - not to teach MATLAB (R). In each experiment, students enter problem parameter values, plot the results using MATLAB (R)'s powerful plotting functions, and then respond to questions in the manual that require them to analyze and interpret these results. The experiments challenge students to approach the study of these topics in the role of an experimental investigator; students are required to define the quantitative values and size properties of each design criterion in a problem. As a result, students develop an appreciation of the physical meaning of the derived results, their theoretical and physical implications, and the use of the scientific method.
