KENYATTA UNIVERSITY

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING


SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY

UNIT: EEE 410 - Signals and Systems: 1st Semester 2021 – 2022

Prerequisites:
Engineering Mathematics

Objective
This course builds a mathematical foundation for analysing linear continuous time systems. It
prepares students for courses in communication systems, signal processing and control systems.

Expected Outcomes
At the end of this course, the student should be able to:
1. Classify and represent different types of signals and systems
2. Analyze the linear time invariant systems using Fourier and Laplace Transforms
3. Understand the sampling theorem and its applications
4. Analyze random processes and noise
5. Analyze signals using computer-aided-design (CAD) tools such as MATLAB.

Description:
Classifications of signals and systems: Signals: Analogue and Digital, Continuous time and discrete-
time, Periodic and Aperiodic, Even and Odd signals, random and deterministic, Energy and Power
signals: Signals and vectors: Unit Step, Unit Ramp and Unit Impulse signals: Systems: Linearity,
time in-variance, causality, invertibility: Time domain representations of signals and systems:
Convolution integral for continuous time signals: Fourier Analysis: Fourier Series and
Transforms, Inverse Fourier transform and properties, Fourier transform of common signals,
Properties of Fourier Series and Transforms, Parsevals Theorem, Power spectral density and
energy: Spectral density: Laplace Transform: Laplace transform (including region of
convergence), Laplace transform of common signals, inverse Laplace transform (including
partial-fraction expansion), and properties, Poles and zeros in the s-plane, Solving differential
equations with non-zero initial conditions via Laplace transform: Fundamentals of Sampling:
Conversion of continuous-time signals to discrete-time signals by sampling, sampling theorem,
Shannon/Nyquist sampling rate and ideal reconstruction, Effects of under sampling: Random
Signals and Noise: Random signals and their characterization. Random processes; normal,
uniform, binomial: Stationarity and ergodicity: The auto-correlation function, Power spectral
density of random processes: Modulation: Amplitude Modulation. Modulation: Frequency
Modulation

Teaching Organization
Lectures: 2 hours per week Tutorials: 2 hours per week; Laboratory Exercises: At least four
experiments per semester, with each lab/practical session 3 hours long.

1
Assessment
Regular Examination at end of Semester: 70 %, Continuous Assessment: 30 % where 10 % shall
be continuous assessment tests, 5 % shall be assignments, and 15 % shall be labs. The students
must complete and pass all the labs before they can be allowed to proceed to the next class.

Practical work/Laboratory Exercises


1. Signal synthesis by summing harmonics
2. Waveform generation (Square, triangle, ramp, pulse, etc.)
3. Fourier series analysis
4. Laplace transforms
5. Spectrum analysis of various signals types with a spectrum analyzer.
