Course Description

Introduction to signals and systems. Signal classification: continuous vs. discrete; deterministics vs. random. Normalized energy and power. Signal families, complex exponential, step impulse. Systems: time-domain representation by differential equations; linear time invariance; classical solution to various signal families; frequency domain representation by system function H(s); total solution of system with initial conditions using H(s). Block-diagram representation of systems and differential equations. Impulse and pulse response of LTI systems. Convolution methods; properties, scanning with impulses, convolution algebra. Fourier series analysis of systems with periodic inputs; properties, spectra and series development with impulse method. Fourier transforms; properties, energy and power signals, response of ideal and non- ideal filters. Nyquist's sampling theorem and its application. Laplace transform, properties and use, inversion by partial fractions, resides with s-plane vectors, application to LTI systems with initial conditions and sources. Introductions to digital elements and equations.
