Lesson Description
Introduction to linear system models and solutions in the time and frequency domains. Balanced emphasis is placed on both continuous and discrete time and frequency methods. The purpose of this course is to equip the student with the fundamental concepts and mathematical tools associated with signals and linear systems analysis which provide the background necessary for further study of communications, control systems, digital and analog electronics, power systems and signal/image processing.
Expected Learning Outcomes: 1. Ability to write and solve signal and system modeling equations in the time and frequency domains using both continuous and discrete models. 2. Ability to analyze signals and systems using frequency domain techniques, such as Bode frequency response. 3. Ability to apply appropriate signal and system modeling techniques in both continuous and discrete time in both the time domain and the frequency domain (using Laplace and z Transforms). 4. Ability to effectively apply software tools, particularly MATLAB, to homework and the analysis and design of signals and systems.
