Fundamentals of Signals and Systems

Signals and Systems form the bedrock of numerous engineering disciplines, from communications and control systems to biomedical engineering and data science. A solid understanding of these principles is crucial for anyone aspiring to excel in electrical, electronics, or computer engineering. This course equips you with a comprehensive understanding of continuous and discrete-time signals and systems, enabling you to analyze their behavior and apply fundamental concepts to solve complex problems. What you'll learn: * Understand the classifications and representations of continuous and discrete-time signals. * Analyze the properties of linear time-invariant (LTI) systems, including causality and stability. * Apply Fourier series and Fourier transform for frequency domain analysis of signals. * Master the Laplace and Z-transforms for system analysis and problem-solving. * Practice convolution and correlation techniques to characterize system responses. * Learn the fundamentals of sampling theory and its implications for digital signal processing. The course begins with foundational definitions and signal classifications, then progressively introduces system properties and essential transform techniques, culminating in practical analysis methods. You will gain proficiency in the mathematical tools necessary to describe and manipulate signals and systems. This course is designed for absolute beginners with no prior knowledge of signals and systems, providing a clear and accessible entry point into this essential subject. No prerequisites are required.
