SIGNALS AND SYSTEMS

Course Description

This course starts with classification of signals and basic signal properties. Other topics include time domain models of Linear Time Invariant (LTI) Systems, continuous time systems and discrete time systems. Then, basic system properties are studied. Also, causal LTI systems described by differential equations, system block diagrams, the unit impulse response and convolution integral are detailed. Difference equations, the unit sample response and discrete convolution are other topics related to time domain. Frequency domain models of LTI sytems are then studied. Fourier series representation of continuous-time and discrete- time periodic signals, the continuous-time and discrete-time Fourier transform, discrete Fourier transform, time and frequency characterization of signals and systems and the frequency-domain analysis of systems are the final topics. In laboratory, the simulator program is used.
