About the Book

The present book on Signals and Systems, has been written to meet the requirements of undergraduate students of all Electrical Sciences, who
deal with the subject in various semesters. The order of presentation of the subject is very systematic and simplified, to make the book easy to
understand.

Salient Features
Unlike most books, the introduction to Signals and to Systems has been dealt with in two separate chapters, to enable the student to clearly
understand the properties of the signals and properties of the systems.
Each chapter has over 50 solved problems. The problems have been divided in various sub-headings in each chapter, and solved in various
sub-sections.
The book covers the syllabus of most Indian universities. It can also be used as an introductory textbook for Digital Signal Processing.
Matlab programs when included in each chapter, lead to confusion, especially, in UG students. Hence, a separate chapter has been included on
Matlab.

Book Review
Arvind Joshi :- I find the coverage of both time and frequency domain balanced and complete. It is helping me in my semester. Thanks to the
authors.

Aryan Sharma :- Plenty of exercises are included in this book which has helped a lot in preparing for my exams.

Ashok Bhave :- If you are looking for a well-rounded complete book, look no further. This is a tailor-made book for B.Tech students of ECE,
EEE and computers.

Ayaan Singh :- One can find a lot of MATLAB programs in this book.

Kapil Dhawan :- Exhaustive coverage of the topics. A good book!

Saroj Joshi :- A varied and large number of solved problems that accompany the subject description makes this text stand out. It is a book truly
worthwhile.

Suni Bhave :- Deals the complex topics very lucidly. The authors must be experts. Matlab codes are a bonus.

Vivaan Sharma :- A must book for everyone who would go for a course on DSP or communication systems in the advanced semesters. Good
luck!
