Overall Aim of the Course
Rational This course provides the students basic knowledge of signals and systems.
Course In this course student will learn about ‘Continuous Signals and Linear Systems’ in regard
Objectives to signals, systems and system representation, impulse response, harmonic representation,
Fourier-transform, application of harmonic analysis and analogous systems.

Course This course introduces the students to the basics of continuous and linear systems.
Synopsis It especially provides the fundamental knowledge of interactions of signals with
different tools. It familiarizes the students with different basic mathematical tools and
equations. The course also helps the students to develop the skills of problem
solving using different rules.
