OBJECTIVE
Major objectives of this course are:
1) To utilize mathematics as a tool for describing and understanding signals and systems.
2) To provide a broad introduction to signals.
3) To comprehend linear time invariant (LTI) system fundamentals both in time and frequency domains.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
- Describe a periodic signal in time domain by defining its properties such as the fundamental period and fundamental frequency.
- Define a periodic signal as a sum of sinusoids or complex exponentials, i.e., create the Fourier series representation of a periodic signal and reconstruct the signal back from such representation through Fourier analysis and synthesis equations.
- Construct the spectrum representation of a periodic signal.
- Identify Finite Impulse Response (FIR) systems, Linear Time Invariant (LTI) Systems, and their properties.
- Define the impulse response of an LTI system both in continuous-time and discrete-time, and system properties such as stability and causality.
- Define the frequency response of an LTI system and its properties.
- Construct forward and inverse Fourier Transforms of both periodic and aperiodic continuous-time signals.
- Describe ideal frequency selective filters (low-pass, high-pass, band-pass) in the frequency domain.
- Perform frequency filtering over the spectrum of a signal.
- Describe the Sampling Theorem and conversion between continuous time and discrete-time domains.
- Describe basic principles of an Amplitude Modulation and Demodulation System.
