Course Description:

Signals contain information about the behaviour or nature of some phenomenon and are
functions of one or more independent variables. A system processes the signal for producing
desired behaviour. Signal processing plays an extremely important and continually growing role
in areas of science and technology such as communications, aeronautics and astronautics,
acoustics, seismology, biomedical engineering and speech processing. This course introduces
the basic concepts and mathematical tools required for signal processing..
Course Educational Objectives:

● To explain the mathematical representation /classification of continuous-time and

discrete-time signals and systems
● To provide an understanding of characterization of linear-time invariant systems
using impulse response and convolution function
● To familiarize the application of Fourier series, Fourier transform and their
properties to continuous-time and discrete time signals and systems
● To impart the knowledge of Laplace and Z-transform and their properties to analyse
continuous-time and discrete-time signals respectively.
