Course Topics:
Unit 1: Signals and Systems
Signal: Analogue/Discrete/Digital signals, Representation way, amplitude, period, frequency, phase –
Classification of signals: Energy and power signals, continuous and discrete time signals, continuous
and discrete amplitude signals, periodic and aperiodic signals, even and odd signals – Transformation
of independent variables: Time shift, Time reversal, Time scaling – Delta/Step functions (Sequences),
and their usage –System properties: linearity and non-linearity, linearity: additivity and homogeneity,
shift-invariance, causality, stability, realisability, memory/memoryless.
Unit 2: LSI Systems
Linear shift-invariant (LSI) systems – impulse response and step response – convolution – input output
behaviour with aperiodic convergent inputs. Characterisation of causality and stability of linear shift-
invariant systems – Periodic and semi-periodic inputs to an LSI system.
Unit 3: Fourier Transform
The notion of a frequency response and its relation to the impulse response – the Fourier transform,
FFT – convolution/multiplication and their effect in the frequency domain – magnitude and phase
response – Fourier domain duality – The Discrete-Time Fourier Transform (DTFT) and the Discrete
Fourier Transform (DFT) – Properties of DFT – Parseval’s theorem – The idea of signal space and
orthogonal bases – System representation through differential equations and difference equations
Unit 4: Laplace Transform and z-Transform
The Laplace Transform – notion of eigen functions of LSI systems – a basis of eigen functions – region
of convergence – poles and zeros of system – Laplace domain analysis – solution to differential
equations and system behaviour – The z-Transform for discrete time signals and systems- eigen
functions – region of convergence – z-domain analysis.
Unit 5: State-space Analysis and Sampling
State-space analysis and multi-input, multi-output representation – The state-transition matrix and its
role – The Sampling Theorem and its implications – Spectra of sampled signals. Reconstruction: ideal
interpolator – zero-order hold, first-order hold – Aliasing and its effects – Relation between continuous
and discrete time systems.
