This is an undergraduate level course that will provide the students the basic concepts about
Continuous and Discrete Signals and Systems, the mathematical Operations that can be performed
on the Signals, their Energy and Power Calculations, Exponential and Sinusoidal Signals, System
Properties like memory, invertibility, linearity, causality, stability and time-invariance. Linear time-
invariant (LTI) systems and their impulse response.
The tools like convolution sum, integral & correlation are major focus of the course with their
Course understanding and applicability for signal comparison. Fourier series & transforms for continuous
Description and discrete time periodic & non-periodic signals with their spectrum analysis is the concept
delivered to students such that they understand and can plot Frequency response of continuous time
LTI systems and get the idea of frequency bands contained in a particular signal with the help of
their power spectrum.
Laplace Transform for continuous time signals that may represent the unstable systems, the
technique is used in determining the stability and causality of a system. Z-transform of discrete time
signals, stability and causality analysis of discrete time systems with the help of unit circle.
