Course detail

Signals and Systems

FEKT-HSISAcad. year: 2016/2017

This module provides an introduction to the linear time-invariant continuous- and discrete-time signal and systems. Students are introduced with the various methods of description and analysis of the continuous- and discrete-time signals and systems: time domain, frequency domain, spectrum, Fourier series, sampling, convolution, transforms (Laplace, Fourier, Z) and differential equations. These methods are used to analyse signal and system properties and to determine basic characteristic: linearity, time-invariance, causality, stability, power, etc.
