Course Description:

  • Syllabus
  • This course presents some of the basic concepts and applications of signals and systems. The modeling of these signals and systems is mathematical in nature and requires specific skills that can be learned in the prerequisite courses listed below. This course will mainly deal with continuous-time signals, with parallel considerations on digital signals when possible. By the end of this course students are able to solve time convolution sum and integral, compute Fourier series, compute Fourier transform, compute inverse Fourier transform, compute z-transform, compute inverse z-transform, apply sampling theorem to convert continuous time signal into discrete time signal.
