The study of signals and systems is considered to be a classic subject in the curriculum of engineering schools throughout the world. The theory of signals and systems is a coherent and elegant collection of mathematical results that date back to the work of Fourier and Laplace and many other famous mathematics and engineers. Signals and systems theory has proven to be an extremely variable tool for the past 70 years in many fields of Science and engineering, including power systems, automatic control, communications, circuit design, filtering and signal processing.
This book is a self-contained introduction to the theory of signals and systems, which lies at the basis of many areas of electrical and computer engineering. In the seventy short “lectures”, formatted to facilitate self-learning and to provide easy reference, the book covers such topics as linear time-invariant (LTI) systems, the Fourier transform, the laplace transform and its application to LTI differential systems, state-space systems, the z-transform techniques to communication systems. A wide array of technologies, including feedback control, analog and discrete time filters, modulation and sampling systems are discussed in connection with their basis in signals and systems theory.
