SYNOPSIS UNIT I
Objective: Electronics has been designed as that branch of science and technology which relates to the conduction of electricity through vacuum by electrons alone are through gases by electrons and ions. Electrons has a wide range of applications, such as rectification, amplication, power generation, industrial control, photo-electricity, communications and so on. The operation of electronic device depends upon the motion of electrons under the influence of electric and magnetic fields. The behaviour of an electron under the influence of these fields is termed as electron ballistics. This chapter deals with the study of basic properties of matter it starts with simple definitions, motion of particles in simple paths under uniform fields to complex paths under varying fields.

UNIT II
Objective: The PN junction diode is one of semiconductor devices with two semiconductor materials in physical contact, one with excess of holes and other with excess of electrons. A PN junction diode may be found from a single crystal intrinsic semiconductor by doping part of it with acceptor impurities and reminder with donors. The mast important characteristic of an PN junction is its ability to allow the flow of current in only one direction in the opposite direction , it offers very high resistance.

UNIT III
Objective: Many electronic equipment contain circuits which convert the AC supply voltage into DC supply voltage at a required level. The unit containing these circuits is called the linear mode power supply(LMPS). In the absence of AC mains supply, the DC supply from battery can be converted into required ac voltage which may be used by computer and other electronic systems for their operation. In certain applications DC to DC conversion is required such a power supply unit that converts DC into AC or DC is called switched mode power supply(SMPS).

UNIT IV
Objective: A bipolar junction transistor is a three terminal semiconductor device in which the operation depends on the interaction of both majority and minority carriers and hence the name bipolar. The BJT is a analogous to a vacuum triode and is comparatively smaller in size. It is used in amplifier and oscillator circuits, and as a switch in digital circuits. It has wide applications in computers, satellites and other modern communication systems.

UNIT V
Objective: The quiescent operating point of a transistor amplifier should be established in the active region of its characteristics. Since the transistor parameter such as beta, Ico and VBE are functions of temperature, the operating point shifts with changes in temperature. The stability of different methods of biasing circuits and compensation techniques for stabilizing the operating point.

UNIT VI
Objective: A transistor can be treated as two port network. The terminal behaviour of any two port can be specified by the terminal voltages v1 and v2 at ports 1 and 2 respectively, and currents i1 and i2, entering ports 1 and 2 respectively, and four variables v1, v2 , i1 and i2, two can be selected as independent variables and the remaining two can be termed in these independent variables.

UNIT VII
Objective: Feedback plays a very important role in electronic circuits and the basic parameters, such an input impedance, output impedance, current or voltage gain and bandwidth, may be altered considerably by the use of feedback for a given amplifiers. In large signals amplifiers electronic measuring instruments, the major problem of distortion should be avoided as far as possible. Again, the gain must be independent of external factors such as variation in the voltage of the DC supply and of the values of circuit components. All these can be achieved by feedback. Portion of the output signal is taken from the output of the amplifier and is combined with the normal input signal and there by the feedback is accomplished.

UNIT VIII
Objective: Any circuit which is used to generate an AC voltage without an AC input signal I called an oscillator. To generate the AC voltage, the circuit is supplied with energy from a DC source. If the output voltage is a sine wave function of time, the oscillator is called a sinusoidal or Harmonic oscillator. Positive feedback and negative resistance oscillators belong to this category and there is an another category of oscillators which generate non sinusoidal waveforms such as square, rectangular, or sawtooth waves. This chapter surveys methods of generating the sinusoidal waveforms.

SYNOPSIS UNIT I
Objective: A Linear network is a network made up of linear elements only. A linear network can be described by linear differential equations. In pulse circuitry, there are a number of waveforms such are sinusoidal, step, pulse, square wave, ramp and exponential wave forms. The response of RC, RL and RLC circuits to these signals is described in this chapter. Out of these signals, the sinusoidal signal has a unique characteristic that it preserves its shape when it is transmitted through a linear network i.e, under steady state, the output will be a precise reproduction of the input sinusoidal signal. There will be a change in the amplitude of the signal and there may be a phase shift beween the input and the output waveforms.

UNIT II
Objective: The circuits for which the output are non-sinusoidal for sinusoidal inputs are called non-linear wave shaping circuits, for example clipping circuits and clamping circuits. Clipping means cutting and removing the part. A clipping circuit is a circuit which remove the undesired part of waveform and transmits only the desired part of the signal which is above or below some reference level. Clipping circuits are also called voltage limiters. Clipping circuits may be single level clippers or two level clippers. Single level clippers may be series diode clippers with and without reference. Clamping circuits may be negative clampers with and without reference.

UNIT III
Objective: Electronic devices such as junction diodes, thermonic diodes, transistors and vacuum tubes all have extreme regions of operation in which they nominally do not conduct even when large voltages are applied, and there are regions in which they conduct heavily even when relatively small voltages are applied. In these regions, the device is described as being OFF, OPEN, or non conducting. In the other extreme region the device is described as being ON, CLOSED or conducting. When the device is driven from one extreme condition to the other, it operates much like a switch.

UNIT IV
Objective: Multi means many, vibrator means oscillator. A circuit which can oscillate at a number of frequencies is called a multivibrator. Multivibrators are bistable multivibrator, monostable multivibrator, Astable multivibrator. Each of these multivibrators has two states. Bistable has two stable states, a monostable has only one stable state and the astable has no stable state. The stable state of a multivibrator is the

state in which the device can stay permanently. Only when a proper external triggering signal is applied, it will change its state. Quasi stable state means temporarily stable states. The device cannot say permanently in this state. In this chapter we will discuss multivibrators with two-stage regenerative amplifiers.

UNIT V
Objective: A time-based generator is an electronic circuit which generates an output voltage or current waveform, a portion of which varies linearly with time. Ideally the output waveform should be a ramp. Time-base generators may be voltage time-base generators or current time-base generators. A voltage time-base generator is one that provides an output voltage waveform, a portion of which exhibits a linear variation with respect to time. A current time-base generator is one that provides an output current waveform, a portion of which exhibits a linear variation with respect to time. The most important application of a time-base generator is in CROs.

UNIT VI
Objective: A pulse or digital system may involve several different basic waveform generators and the system may require that all these generators be operated synchronously in step with one another. Two or more waveform generators are said to operate in synchronous if each one of them arrive at some reference point in its cycle at the same time. Synchronous is the process of making two or more waveform generators arrive at some reference point in the cycle at exactly the same time. Synchronous may be on one-to-one basis or with frequency division. Synchronization is said to be with frequency division if the generators operate at different frequencies.

UNIT VII
Objective: Sampling gates, also called linear gates, transmission gates or selection circuits, are transmission circuits in which the output is an exact reproduction of the input during a selected time interval and is zero otherwise. The time interval for transmission is selected by an externally impressed signal which is called the gating signal and is usually rectangular in wave shape. Sampling gates may be unidirectional sampling gates or bidirectional sampling gates. Unidirectional gates are those which transmit signal of both the polarities. The output of a sampling gate is an exact reproduction of the input during selected time interval.

UNIT VIII
Objective: Logic gates are the fundamental building blocks of digital systems. They are called logic gates because such devices have the ability to make decisions; they produce one output level when some combinations of input level are present. They are number of logic gates and each logic gate is dedicated to a specific logic operation. The interconnection of gates to perform a variety of logical operations is called logic design. A logic gate is a digital circuit with one or more inputs and only one output all input and output signals to the gate can be either low voltage levels or high voltage levels.

SYNOPSIS UNIT I
Objective: CMOS technology is used in microprocessors, microcontrollers, static RAM, and other digital logic circuits. CMOS technology is also used for several analog circuits such as image sensors, data converters, and highly integrated transceivers for many types of communication. Frank Wanlass patented CMOS in 1967. CMOS is also sometimes referred to as complementary-symmetry metal-oxide-semiconductor. The words complementary-symmetry refer to the fact that the typical digital design style with CMOS uses complementary and symmetrical pairs oof p-type and n-type metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors(MOSFETs) for logic functions.

UNIT II
Objective: TTL is notable for being a widespread IC family used in many applications such as computers, industrial controls, test equipment and instrumentation, consumer electronics, synthesis, etc. the designation TTL is sometimes used to mean TTLcompatible logic levels. Transistor-transistor logic(TTL) is a class of digital circuits built from bipolar junction transistors (BJT) and resistors.

UNIT III
Objective: VHDL(VHSIC hardware description language) is a hardware description language used in electronic design automation to describe digital and mixed-signal systems such as field-programmable gate arrays and integrated circuits. In electronics, a hardware description language or HDL is any language from a class of computer languages, specification languages, or modeling languages for formal description and design of electronic circuits, and most-commonly, digital logic.

UNIT IV
Objective: The VHDL language was developed to allow modeling of digital hardware. It can be seen as a super-set of ADA, with a built-in message passing mechanism called signals. The language was defined in the mid-1980s as a response to the difficulties of developing, validating and co-simulating increasingly complex digital devices developed within the VHSIC program. The main focus was to be able to write executable

specifications, and allow specifications(or models) from different providers(companies) to be simulated together.

UNIT V
Objective: The approach taken is to examine the tasks that a combinational logic circuits is intended to perform an then identify one or more circuits that can perform the task. One circuit may have some specific advantages over others, but it may also have certain deficiencies. Often one factor can be improved, but only at the expense of others. Some important factors are speed of operations, complexity are cost of hardware, power dissipation and availability in pre-fabricated units. We will takeup a number of different operations that are useful I different context and show how appropriate circuits can be designed to carry out these operations.

UNIT VI
Objective: The design examples may only be used within Altera devices and remain the property of Altera Corporation. They are being provided on as as-is basis and as an accommodation; therefore, all warranties, representation, or guarantees of any kind (whether express, implied, or statutory) including, without limitation, warranties of merchantability, non-infringement, or fitness for a particular purpose, are specially disclaimed. Altera expressly does not recommend, suggest, or require that these examples be used in combination with any other product not provided by Altera.

UNIT VII
Objective: In digital circuit theory, sequential logic is a type of logic circuit whose out depends not only on the present input but also on history on the input. This in contrast to combinational logic, whose output is a function of, and only of, the present input. In others words sequential logic has state while combinational logic does not. Sequential logic is therefore used to construct some types of computer memory, other types of delay and storage elements, and finite state machines.

Design rules are communication link between the designer specifying requirements and the fabricator who materializes them. Design rules are used to produce workable mask layouts from which the various layers in silicon will be formed or patterned.

UNIT IV
Objective: It explains the CMOS technology devices and their inter connections. The wiring up of circuits take place through the various conductive layers which are produced by the MOS Processing and it is therefore necessary to be aware of the resistive and capacitive characteristics of each layer.

SYNOPSIS UNIT I:
Objective: The purpose of this unit is to introduce the elementary aspects of probability theory on which the rest of the units depend. Several approaches exist for the definition and discussion of probability. The approach that is used in this subject is the axiomatic approach. It is the most mathematically sound of all approaches. The axiomatic approach uses the set theory where the possibilities are listed in a set and basic mathematical formulae are used to define probability.

UNIT II:
Objective: In the previous the concept of event is introduced to describe the characteristics of outcomes of an experiment. Event allows more flexibility in determining properties of an experiment that could be obtained by considering only the outcomes themselves. In this unit a new concept that allows events to be defined in a more consistent manner is introduced. It will always be numerical. The new concept is that of random variable.

UNIT III:
Objective: The random variable was introduced in the previous unit as a means of providing a systematic means of events defined on a sample space . Specifically, it formed a mathematical model for describing characteristics of some real, physical world random phenomenon .In this unit the work is extended to include some important operations that may be performed on a random variable. Most of these operations are based on single concepy expectation.

UNIT IV:
Objective: In units 2 and 3, various aspects of the theory of a single random variable were studied. It was found to be a powerful concept. It can be said that the shell impact position along the line of fire of a cannon is a random variable .Naturally we may also be interested in how the impact positions deviate from the line of fire. To handle such situations , it is necessary that we extend our theory to include two random variables. This unit gives an introduction of this concept.

TEC

UNIT V:
Objective: After establishing some of the basic theory of several random variables in the previous unit, it is appropriate to extend the operations described in unit 3 to include multiple random variables . This unit is dedicated to these extensions. Mainly the concept of expectation is enlarged to include two or more random variables. Other operations involving moments, characteristic functions, and transformations are all special applications of expectation.

UNIT VI:
Objective: In the real world of engineering and science, it is necessary that we be able to deal with time waveforms. Indeed, we frequently encounter random time waveforms in practical systems. More often than a desired signal in some systems in random. A desired signal is often accompanied by an undesired random waveform, noise. The noise interferes with the message and ultimately limits the performance of the system. Thus any hope we have of determining the performance of systems with a random waveform hinges on our ability to describe and deal with some waveforms. In this unit, we introduce concepts that allow the description of random waveforms in a probabilistic sense.

UNIT VII:
Objective: All the foregoing discussions concerning random processes have involved the time domain. That is , we have characterized processes by means of auto co-relation, crosscorrelation and co-variance functions without any consideration of spectral properties . As is well known , both time domain and frequency domain analysis methods exist for analyzing linear systems and deterministic waveforms . The purpose of this unit is to introduce the most important concepts that apply to characterizing random processes in the frequency domain.

UNIT VIII:
Objective: A large part of the preceding work has been aimed at describing a random signal by modeling it as a sample function of a random process. The time domain methods based on correlation functions frequency domain techniques based on power spectrums constitute powerful ways of defining the behavior of random signals. In this unit, methods of describing the response of linear system when applied waveform is random are explored.

SYNOPSIS UNIT I
Objective: In this chapter we learn about the circuit concepts like active and passive, etc and the RLC parameters. We also learn about the energy sources like the voltage and current sources and the dependent and independent sources. Kirchoffs slaware of two types: Kirchoffs voltage law and Kirchoffs current law. We also learn to deal with network reduction theorems like the superposition and Thevinens theorem etc. we learn about the series, parallel and the series parallel network like series RL circuit, series RLC circuit, parallel RL circuit, parallel RLC circuits etc. the star delta transformations are useful in solving complex networks.

UNIT II
Objective: The RMS value is the constant value of current which will produce the same power in a resistor as in produced on the average by the periodic current. Average value is also known as average power. An AC circuit having constant sources is said to be in steady state if the currents and voltage do not change with time. Types of circuits in which the different parts are not directly joined but still transfer energy are said to be mutually inducted.

UNIT III
Objective: An electrical circuit is said to undergo resonance when net current is in phase with the applied voltage. In series and parallel circuits we study the performance of AC circuits when some of the parameters continuously vary over wide range of values. Quality factor (Q) is the ratio of the resonant frequency to the bandwidth. A single phase AC circuit has advantages therefore; we opt for three phase circuits. Phase sequence is the order in which the EMFs induced in the diff phases attains their positive maximum values. Interconnection of three phases can be done by star and delta networks. We also learn about the relations between the line voltage, phase voltage and phase current. We calculate active and reactive power in this unit.

UNIT IV
Objective: Network topology is basically concerned with the geometry of electrical networks. Any complex network can be represented by much simpler graph and, this is the greatest advantage of topological representation. In this, network graph is the skeleton of a given network. Node is a point on the network at which two or more circuit elements are joined. A tie-set is of use for obtaining the equilibrium equations of loop analysis technique and cut set for node analysis. Two networks are said to be dual

networks if the mesh equations of one area are of the same form as the node equation of the other.

UNIT V
Objective: In the earlier units we studied how electrical networks can be analysed on the basis of ohms law, Kirchoffs law, loop and node analysis techniques. Although these methods are adequate for analyzing a given circuit a lot of mathematical calculation is involved much of it can be avoided if, in addition to these techniques other powerful tools like Thevenins theorem, Nortons theorem etc are employed for circuit analysis. There are many network theorems which finds useful application and the more important amongst them are discussed in this unit.

UNIT VI
Objective: In this unit we study about two port networks. We know that an electrical network comprises of both active elements and passive elements, and for this we use the two port networks. In this there are six set of network parameters like the open circuit impedance and short circuit admittance parameters, the hybrid parameters, ABCD parameters also known as the transmission parameters. We learn about the conversion of one parameter to another parameter and the conditions for reciprocity as well as symmetry. We have learns about the two port network connections in series, parallel and cascaded and learnt to deal with different problems in two port networks.

UNIT VII
Objective: In this unit we study the natural response of networks when subjected to DC and sinusoidal AC forcing functions. We study the transient response of RL, RC, RLC circuits (which are seen in series combinations only) for DC and sinusoidal excitations. Precise knowledge of initial conditions is very essential for arriving at the total response of networks when subjected to forcing functions. We find different solutions using differential equation approach and Laplace transform method of solutions.

UNIT VIII
Objective: In this unit we study about filters which are basically reactive networks comprising of inductances and capacitances arranged in the form of symmetrical T or symmetrical . There are different types of filters L.P, H.P, B.P, B.E, prototype filter design. We have M-derived filters of L.P and H.P. We learn about composite filter design of L.P and H.P design of various symmetrical attenuators.

SYNOPSIS UNIT I:
Objective: This unit deals with the representation of numerical data, with emphasis on those representations which use only two symbols, 0 and 1. Here we discuss about special methods of representing numerical data, affording protection against various transmission errors and component failures. This unit deals with 2s component representation of negative numbers , error detecting codes like parity and error detecting codes like hamming codes. It introduces codes like gray codes which are very useful for problem solving.

UNIT II:
Objective: The second unit deals with the combinational logic and various aspects of analysis and design of combinational switching circuits. The particular characteristic of a combinational switching circuit is that its outputs are functions of only the present circuit inputs. First, switching algebra is introduced as the basic mathematical tool essential in dealing with the problems encountered in the study of switching circuits. Switching expressions are defined and are found to be instrumental in describing the logical properties of switching circuits.

UNIT III:
Objective: The third unit deals with the systematic simplification procedures of the switching expressions derived in the previous chapter thus leading to more economical circuits. The main aim in this chapter is to develop procedures for obtaining a minimal expression for any such function, after establishing some criteria for minimality. The methods introduced in this chapter partly overcome the limitations. The presented map method is very effective for hand simplification of up to 5 variables, while the tabulation procedure is suitable for machine computation and yields minimal expressions

UNIT IV
Objective: The principal application of switching theory is in the design of digital circuits. The design of such circuits is commonly referred to as combinational logic design. In this chapter , we describe some components which are typical of the basic building blocks used in constructing digital systems . Switching algebra will be used to describe the logical behavior of networks composed of these building blocks as well as to manipulate and simplify the switching expressions, thereby reducing the number of components used in the design.

UNIT V
Objective: The purpose of bullion algebra simplification is to obtain an algebraic expression that when implemented, results in low- cost circuit. However the criteria that determine the low cost circuit must be defined if we are to evaluate the success of the achieved simplification. The design procedure presented for the combinational circuits is shown in the previous chapters and the way of implementation in devices like PLA, PAL and PROM is explained in this chapter. In addition to that, a new logic gate called the threshold logic gate is introduced and its design procedure is explained in detail.

UNIT VI
Objective: The digital circuits considered thus far have been combinational i.e. the outputs at any instant of time are entirely dependent on the inputs present at that time. Although every digital system is likely to have a combinational circuits, most systems encountered in practice also include memory elements, which required that the system be described in terms of sequential logic. A clocked sequential circuit consists of a group of flip-flops and combinational gates connected to form a feedback path. The flipflops are essential because, in their absence, the circuit reduces to a purely combinational circuit.

UNIT VII
Objective: This unit deals with the various design methodologies of a sequential circuit. The sequential circuits are divided into moore and mely machines and different design methodologies were proposed. They are called finite state machines.

Objective: The binary information stored in the system can be classified as either data or control information. Data are discrete elements of information that are manipulated to perform arithmetic, logic, shift and other similar data-processing tasks. These operations are implemented with digital components such as adders, decoders, multiplexers, counters and shift registers. Control information provides command signals that supervise the various operations in the data section in order to accomplish the desired tasks.

SYNOPSIS UNIT I
Objective: The origin of this tells us about the analogy between vectors and signals by explaining the basic definitions of a signal and a vector. This is succeeded by the concept of signal space where the orthogonality sets or functions for the signals are derived and are explained in detail. This unit also helps us to understand the differences between the various sets of functions and let knowing the importance of these functions in real time. Not only this but also the unit tries to enhance the users understanding of the minute differences among the above said concepts by terminating the perplexity that rises due to the similarity in the equations. Also it clearly explains the need for the orthogonality among the different sets of signal functions.

UNIT II
Objective: The second unit emphasizes on the very important concept such as the representation of the Fourier series. Here in this unit the concept of Fourier series has been explained right from the scratch and then extracted to the proper representation of it. Also this unit takes a further step in explaining the concept from the first unit pertaining to signals by choosing the continuous time signals as content. This unit as stated before will also explain about the properties of Fourier series. This chapter also throws some light on the Dirichlets condition which proves to be huge importance in the signals and systems. Also it shows the derivation of trigonometric Fourier series and exponential Fourier series. It also explains about the complex Fourier spectrum.

UNIT III
Objective: Apart from the other chapters which deals with too many contents at one time this unit would particularly deals only with the word Fourier whatever it may be it is either Fourier series or Fourier transform. So as it is mentioned it explains every detail about the Fourier spectrum right from how the Fourier series definition to the deriving Fourier transform from Fourier series. Also it explains all about the concepts like Fourier transform of arbitrary signal, Fourier transform of standard signals, Fourier transform of periodic signals, properties of Fourier transforms, Fourier transform involving impulse function and Signum function. Introduction to Hilbert transform has also been stated.

UNIT IV
Objective: As we are aware that we are taking the signals and system all the time we till now have seen that the previous units have dealt with the signals part of the subject. This unit on the other hand would now begin to focus on the systems part of the subject. So consequently this unit mainly emphasizes from the basics of what a system is and

what type of systems are we mainly willing to concentrate on. So the concepts that this unit focus are linear system, impulse response, response of a linear system, linear time invariant(LTI) system, linear time variant(LTV) system, transfer function of a LTI system. Not only the definitions and the responses of the systems but the filter characteristics of the systems are also discussed. The transmission through the system is also explained. The other related concepts are signal bandwidth, system bandwidth, ideal LPF, HPF and BPF characteristics, causality and poly-wiener criterion for physical realization, relationship between bandwidth and rise time.

UNIT V
Objective: Concepts of convolution in time domain and frequency domain, are the main areas of focus in this unit. The other concepts are mainly oriented on the convolution itself like graphical representation of convolution, convolution property of Fourier transforms. Also other additional concepts apart from the convolution are cross correlation and auto correlation of functions, properties of correlation function, energy density spectrum, Parsevals theorem, power density spectrum, relation between auto correlation function and energy/power spectral density. The relation between the convolution and correlation are also focused in the later part of the chapter. Lastly the detection of periodic signals in the presence of noise by correlation, and the extraction of signal from noise by filtering is also discussed.

UNIT VI
Objective: This unit is just like a replica of the previous unit but the difference is that it entirely deals about sampling signals. This unit explains about the concepts like the types of sampling methods like the impulse sampling, natural and flat top sampling. It also explains about how to reconstruction of signal from its samples, and the effects of under sampling- aliasing due to improper allocation of the sampling frequency. Introduction to the band pass sampling has been explained to the later and the final part of the chapter.

UNIT VII
Objective: The penultimate chapter of this subject has it center of focus on the concepts such as the Laplace transforms, Partial function expansion, and the inverse Laplace transforms. Apparently these concepts are succeeded by the region of convergence (ROC) concept which is of utmost importance for a transform especially for Laplace transforms, Z-transforms. Also the constraints on ROC for various classes of signals are discussed. The properties of L.Ts and the relation between L.Ts and F.T of a signal are also discussed. Laplace transform of certain signals using waveform synthesis has also been explained in the last part of the chapter.

UNIT VIII
Objective: In the last unit of this subject the concepts that are mainly focused are the fundamental differences between the continuous and discrete time signals, the discrete time signal representation using complex exponential and sinusoidal components. Also the periodicity of discrete time using complex exponential signal has been concentrated. Unlike the previous unit which deals with Laplace transforms this unit focuses on the concepts of Z-transform of a discrete sequence. Also this unit tries to differentiate between Laplace, Fourier and the Z-transforms. Also it tries to explain about the region of convergence in Z-transform, constraints on ROC for various classes of signals, and also the inverse Z-transform, and ultimately the properties of Z-transforms.

SYNOPSIS UNIT I
Objective: This chapter defines the scope of the field, gives a historical perspective, its applications in various fields, discusses the principal approaches used in image processing and gives overview of the components contained in a typical image processing system. It also summarizes the mechanics of the human visual system, including image formation in the eye and its capabilities for brightness adaptation and discrimination. It introduces the concepts of uniform image sampling and intensity quantization along with spatial and intensity resolution. It also deals with a variety of basic relationships between pixels.

UNIT II
Objective: This chapter deals with the various transforms used in the realm of digital image processing today. It starts off with the basic transform which is the 2-D fast Fourier transform where the equation, properties and some illustrations are included. Then, various other new transforms like the Walsh-Hadamard transform, the haar transform, the discrete sine transform and the hotelling transform are discussed which include the basic definition, equation, properties and illustrations.

UNIT III
Objective: This chapter deals with the image enhancement in the spatial domain. Image enhancement is the process of making the image look beautiful to the human eye. Image enhancement can be done in two ways: Spatial domain and frequency domain. In the spatial domain, various masks are used to enhance an image. It starts with the point processing technique where different functions are used. Then, the masks of average weighted, average, median, maximum and minimum are used. The histogram is defined and enhancement using it is explained.

UNIT IV
Objective: This chapter deals with the image enhancement in frequency domain where the various types of filters are used to enhance an image. The various filters used in this chapter are ideal low pass filter, Butterworth low pass filter and Gaussian low pass filter for smoothening operation and ideal high pass filter and Gaussian high pass filter for sharpening operation. Here, the smooth part of the image is considered to be low frequency and the sharp part is considered to be of high frequency.

UNIT V
Objective: The use of color in the image processing is motivated by two principal factors. First the color is a very powerful descriptor that often simplifies object identification and extraction from a scene. Second, humans can discern thousands of color shades and intensities, compared to about only two dozens of shades of gray. Color image processing is divided into two major areas in this chapter: Full Color and Pseudo-Color processing. They are described in detail along with the different color models used.

UNIT VI
Objective: In contrast to image enhancement which is a subjective process, Image restoration is an objective process. Restoration attempts to recover an image that has been degraded by using a priori knowledge of the degradation phenomenon. Thus restoration techniques are oriented toward modeling the degradation and applying the inverse process in order to recover the original image. This Approach usually involves formulating a criterion of goodness that will yield an optimal estimate of the desired result.

UNIT VII
Objective: The Seventh chapter in this context deals with the image segmentation. The primary aim of this chapter is to derive methods that can detect the discontinuities present in an image. The various discontinuities that can be present are point discontinuity, Line discontinuity and Edge discontinuity. Various algorithms are introduced in this chapter that detects these discontinuities the best among them is the Hough transform, region growing etc.

UNIT VIII
Objective: This chapter deals with the comprehension techniques if an image. Basically, the space available is limited and we have to make the best use of it. The compression concept has arisen from this sentence. It is always good if can represent the same data in lesser number of bits which decreases the space required to save it and also the bandwidth required to transmit it. This can be done by removing the various redundancies present in the image. The various concepts relating to the image compression mentioned in this chapter are: fidelity criteria, image compression models, Source encoder and decoder, free compression and lossy compression.

SYNOPSIS UNIT I
Objective: Electrostatics is a fascinating subject that has grown up in diverse areas of application. We begin our study of electrostatics by investigating the two fundamental laws of governing electrostatic fields: (1) Coulombs law, (2) Gausss law. Both of these laws are based on experimental studies and they are interdependent. Based on Coulombs law, the concept of electric field intensity will be introduced along with some illustrations. It ends with a discussion of various types of capacitors.

UNIT II
Objective: We now focus our attention on static magnetic fields. Some of the magnetic fields quantities will be introduced in this chapter. The analogy is presented here to show that most of the equations we have derived for the electric fields may be readily used to obtain corresponding equations for magnetic fields if the equivalent analogous quantities are substituted. If also includes magneto-static fields, magnetic potentials and force due to a magnetic field which paves way for amperes law.

UNIT III
Objective: We have restricted our discussions to static or time-invariant, EM fields. Hence forth , we shall examine situations where electric and magnetic fields are dynamic, or time varying. It should be mentioned first that in static EM fields, electric and magnetic fields are independent of each other where as in dynamic EM fields, the fields are interdependent. In other words, a time varying electric field necessarily involves a corresponding time varying magnetic field. The aim in this chapter is to may form foundation for our subsequent studies. This will involve introducing two major concepts: 91) Electromotive force based on faradays experiment and (2) displacement current, which resulted from Maxwells hypothesis.

UNIT IV
Objective: Our first application of Maxwells equation will be in relation to electromagnetic wave propagation. In this chapter, our major goal is to solve Maxwells equations and derive EM wave motion in free space, lossless dielectrics, lossy dielectrics and good conductors. Case 3 for lossy dielectrics is the most general case and will be considered first. Once this general case is solved, we simply divide other cases from it as special cases. However, before we consider wave motion in those different media, it is appropriate that we study the characteristics of waves In general.

UNIT V
Objective: The fifth unit is the continuation of the fourth unit and it deals with the refraction of plane electro-magnetic waves for normal and oblique incidences in both perfect conductors and perfect dielectrics then. The concepts of critical and Brewster angles are explained based on which total internal reflection and surface impedance are explained. Then, the important concept of pointing vector and pointing theorem are elucidated.

UNIT VI
Objective: A transmission line can be used to guide EM energy from one point to another. A waveguide is another means of achieving the same goal. However, a waveguide differs from a transmission line in some respects. In the first place, a transmission line can support only a transverse electromagnetic wave, where as a wave guide can support many possible field configurations. Second, at microwave frequencies, transmission lines become inefficient due to skin effect and dielectric losses. Wave guides are used at that range of frequencies to obtain larger bandwidth and lower signal attenuation.

UNIT VII
Objective: Our discussion in the previous chapter was essentially on wave propagation in unbounded media. Another means of transmitting power or information is by guided structures. Guided structures serve to guide the propagation of energy from the source to the load. In this chapter, the various types of transmission lines along with their parameters and their equations are discussed. Concepts like characteristic impedance, propagation constant, group and phase velocities are discussed. Attenuation and distortion are also discussed.

UNIT VIII
Objective: This chapter is a continuation of the previous chapter where the concepts like impedance relations for SC and OC lines, reflection co-efficient, voltage standing wave ration and smith chart are explained in detail.
