Course Description
Introduction to discrete and continuous time signals and systems. Time-domain signal representations, impulse response of linear
time-invariant (LTI) systems, and convolution. Frequency domain signal representations, frequency response of LTI systems, and
Fourier analysis. Filtering of continuous and discrete time signals. Sampling and discrete time processing of analog signals. Laplace-
transform domain analysis of continuous-time LTI systems. Exercises using MATLAB.

Course Objectives
Introduction to discrete and continuous time signals and systems. Time-domain signal representations, impulse response of linear
time-invariant (LTI) systems, and convolution. Frequency domain signal representations,
frequency response of LTI systems, and Fourier analysis. Filtering of continuous and discrete time signals. Sampling and discrete
time processing of analog signals. Laplace-transform domain analysis of continuoustime
LTI systems.

Learning Outcomes
1. Characterize input-output relationships of linear time-invariant systems using impulse response and transfer function
representations for both continuous and discrete time.
2. Apply convolution to determine the output of linear time-invariant systems for both continuous and discrete time
3. Analyze and synthesize signals using Fourier series and transform definitions and properties for both continuous and discrete time.
4. Understand the relationship between sampling rate and aliasing errors in the sampled signal.
5. Analyze practical continuous-time and discrete-time systems, such as modulators and filters.
6. Analyze continuous-time and discrete-time systems with z-transform.

Teaching Methods
Problem solving hours every week. Homework assignments that include MATLAB exercises

Academic Dishonesty
Academic dishonesty is a serious violation of the trust upon which an academic community depends. The students must submit their
own work in all exams, quizzes, and homeworks.
- In exams and quizzes, all forms of information exchange and talking between students is forbidden. Use of unauthorized material
during an exam is also an act of academic dishonesty.
- In homeworks, working together, and sharing complete or incomplete solutions with your friends are strictly prohibited.
- Assisting someone else to engage in an act of academic dishonesty is also considered as an act of academic dishonesty.

Students who are involved in any act of academic dishonesty will be sent to the Disciplinary Committee immediately, without any
warning. The penalties may range from getting a grade of zero, to failing a class, to expulsion from the University.
