Why this course? This course deals with the fundamental principles of signals and systems theory. Aim of this course is to equip the students with the concepts and techniques of performing time-domain and frequency-domain analysis of signals and systems, laying the foundation for courses like “Communication Systems’, ‘Linear Control Systems” and ‘Digital Signal Processing’. Course Objectives: The course objectives are to: a) Equip the students with a thorough understanding of the types and fundamental principles of signals and systems. b) Develop students’ mathematical and analytical skills required to analyze continuous-time (CT) signals and systems in both time- and frequency-domains. ©) Introduce students to analysis of discrete-time (D1) signals and systems Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs): By the end of this course, student should be able to demonstrate the following: 1. Perform CT/ DT Signal Transformations like time-shifting, time-reversal, signal compression; solve CT’/ DI Convolution and Correlation. 2. Perform modeling of CT / DT Linear Time Invariant (LTD systems using impulse response function and differential difference equation. 3. Analyze the transformation of a CT signal through CL-LII system using frequency domain methods; apply filtering 4. Calculatez-Transform and inverse z-Transform for DT functions. Text Books: 1. V.

Definition and classification of signals + To distinguish between continuous-time and discrete-time signals, we will use the symbol ¢ to denote the continuous-time independent variable and to denote the discrete time independent variable. * In addition, for continuous-time signals we will enclose the independent variable in parentheses (_), whereas for discrete-time signals we will use brackets [ ] to enclose the independent variable. * We will also have frequent occasions when it will be useful to represent signals graphically, x 2 Graphical representations of (a) continuous-time and (b) discrete-time signals.
