Course Outline
The course will start with the introduction of signals along with the difference of continuous time
and discrete time signals, system properties. The course covers various topics including
Convolution, Fourier series, Continuous time Fourier transform (CTFT), discrete time Fourier
transform (DTFT), Z- transform.
