Signals and Systems

3 units

This course presents an introduction to concepts and methodology of linear dynamic systems in relation to discrete- and continuous-time signals. Topics include mathematical modeling; representation of systems and signals; Fourier, Laplace, and Z-transforms and convolution; input-output description of linear systems, including impulse response and transfer function; time-domain and frequency-domain system analysis, including transient and steady-state responses, system modes, stability, frequency spectra, and frequency responses; and system design, including filter, modulation, and sampling theorem. Continuity is emphasized from analysis to synthesis. MATLAB will be used.
