Course Objectives The purpose of this course is to provide students with the mathematical foundations and tools for analysis of signals processed by systems. This is a first step to understand how signals carry information and how systems process this information, which will be necessary for subsequent courses in the overall EEE program.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Describe different types of signals, signal representations, and main properties of signals useful to their analysis,
  • Define the fundamental properties of linear systems,
  • Identify system characteristics such as linearity, time-invariance, causality and stability,
  • Tell the basic concepts of Fourier series and Fourier transforms for discrete- and continuous-time signals,
  • Analyze behavior of linear, time-invariant systems by using transform analysis and convolution,
  • Explain the response of LTI systems to standard signals (impulse response, step response), and then to any signal in terms of those standard signals,
  • Formulate the Laplace and Z transforms and corresponding inverse transforms using the definitions, tables of standard transforms and properties, and partial fraction expansion,
  • Simulate signals and systems using Matlab signal processing toolbox and Simulink.
Course Description Topics covered include time domain analysis of continuous-time and discrete-time signals and systems; Fourier series and periodic signals; Fourier transform; sampling and discrete-time Fourier transform; Laplace and Z transforms.
