Description:
This course introduces students to basic concepts in continuous-time linear system theory. The analysis of continuous-time systems is considered in both the time and frequency domains. Topics include linearity, impulse response, convolution, frequency response, filtering, Fourier series, Fourier transforms, sampling theorem, relationship between continuous-time and discrete-time systems (as time perm its), Laplace transforms, system transfer function, poles and zeros, stability. Applications of these techniques will be discussed using examples from circuits, signal processing, communication and control. Weekly recitations and hardware and software laboratories will also be included in this course.
