Concepts in Systems and Signals

This innovative book for technology students presents both continuous and discrete domains under one cover. It reviews the foundations of continuous-time systems and introduces the concepts and analysis tools associated with signal spectra, with emphasis on periodic signals and the Discrete Fourier Transform. Topics include: Analysis techniques Frequency response Standard filters Spectral analysis Discrete-time signals and systems IRR and FIR filter designs Sampling strategies New to this edition are sections on the topics of spectral estimation, convolution, and correlation. A chapter has been added to cover applications of the Laplace and z transforms; the impulse invariance approach to converting from continuous-time to discrete-time systems is discussed. The book also contains an introduction to and lessons in MATLAB .Sherrick, John D. is the author of 'Concepts in Systems and Signals', published 2004 under ISBN 9780131782716 and ISBN 0131782711.
