Signals and Systems I
|
Summary:This course examines continuous-time signals and their properties, and briefly considers basic discrete-time and digital signals. Basic properties of systems with and without memory are discussed, as well as the concept of state, initial conditions, zero-input and zero-state responses. Discrete- and, in greater emphasis, continuous-time linear, time-invariant (LTI) systems are examined, including discrete and continuous-time convolutions, convolution integral and calculation, and LTI systems and differential equations. Students will learn about continuous-time signal analysis, such as the Fourier series and transform, Fourier Transform Analysis including filtering and frequency response, and the Laplace transform. This course builds on and supplements knowledge from other courses, including ELEC 221, MATH 235 and 236. |
Objectives:By the end of the course students will be able to:
