signals and systems analysis

(3 credits)

Description: Signal representation, continuous-time systems, Fourier series, Fourier transforms, Laplace transforms, discrete-time systems, Fourier analysis of discrete-time systems, z-transforms, the discrete Fourier transforms.

Prerequisites: ECE/COE 0041: Linear Circuits and Systems II, calculus, differential equations

Texts: A. V. Oppenheim and A. S. Willsky, Signals and Systems, Prentice-Hall, 2005.

Course Objectives: Investigate the fundamental theory of signal representation and linear systems, and understand the application of this theory to common electrical systems.

Topics Covered: Continuous-time and discrete-time signals and systems, concepts of linearity, time-invariance, stability, and causality, representation of signals using impulses and complex exponentials, Input/output relationships of systems via convolution, Fourier and Laplace transforms and applications, sampling theory. Basic concepts in filter analysis and design including pole-zero and Bode plots.

Class/Laboratory Schedule: Class meets twice per week, 75 minutes per session.

Professional Component Contributions: Students learn about practical applications of the abstract concepts presented in lecture and homework assignments. They also gain exposure to mathematical programming through Matlab based computer mini-projects.
