EE 375 - Signals and Systems

Institution:

Point Park University

Subject:

Description:

Introduction to the mathematical analysis of physical systems. Representation of linear systems in the time domain using differential and difference equations. Time-domain analysis using integration and recursion. Frequency-domain analysis using Fourier, Laplace, and z-transform techniques. Consideration of practical system limitations such as finite bandwidth and finite sampling rate. Laboratory includes computer simulations and prototyping of typical systems. Prerequisites: MATH 230 (Linear Algebra I), MATH 310 (Differential Equations). Course Objectives Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: (1) Model linear systems using both continuous-time (differential equation) and discrete-time (difference equation) representations. (2) Compute time-domain solutions to system models using integration and recursion. (3) Represent periodic signals using Fourier series. (4) Analyze continuous-time systems using Fourier and Laplace transform techniques. (5) Analyze discrete-time systems using z-transform techniques. (6) Employ theorems and results of transform analysis to identify practical limitations on system performance such as finite bandwidth and finite sampling rate. (7) Analyze and simulate continuous- and discrete-time linear systems using industry standard software. (8) Prototype simple linear systems and characterize their performance using test instruments such as waveform generators, oscilloscopes, and spectrum analyzers. (9) Document their work in accurate, attractive, and informative laboratory reports.
