Course Objectives Understand the characteristics and representation of continuous and discrete time signals. Understand the characteristics and the mathematical representation and analysis in the time and frequency domain of linear-time-invariant systems. Understand the Fourier series and transform. Understand the Laplace transform. Solve problems using Matlab.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Analyze continuous-time and discrete-time signals and systems in the frequency domain using mixed signal classes. Use MATLAB and laboratory experiments to simulate and to analyze signals and systems of these cases
  • Utilize sampling concepts that link continuous-time and discrete-time signals and systems. Use MATLAB and laboratory experiments to simulate and to analyze signals and systems for this situation
  • Apply time-domain and frequency-domain analysis tools to communication system applications
  • Analyze continuous-time signals and system responses using the concepts of transfer function representation by use of Laplace and inverse Laplace transforms. Use MATLAB and laboratory experiments to simulate and to analyze signals and systems using these transforms
  • Apply time-domain and frequency-domain analysis tools to analog and digital filters. Use MATLAB and laboratory experiments for applications of filters
Course Content Representation and analysis of continuous and discrete time signals and systems; time and frequency analysis of linear time-invariant systems; convolution, differential and difference equations, Fourier series and Fourier transform, Laplace transform, Z-transform, sampling, quantization and discrete-time processing of continuous-time signals.
