2. Brief Course Outline
1. Introduction: Signals and Systems? Discussion on basic tools for analyzing signals and systems.
2. Description of signals and Transformation: Some generic signals, like delta function, continuous
and discrete complex exponentials.
3. System Representation: Linear, causal, time-invariant systems. Convolution representation,
differential and difference equation representation and state variable representation.
4. Transforms: Laplace and Fourier transform

3. 5. Continuous-time: Response of continuous-time linear time-invariant system to complex exponential,
Fourier representation of signals and systems, frequency response of linear time-invariant
systems.
6. Discrete-time: Sampling theorem, discrete-time Fourier transform, discrete Fourier transform.
7. Time Permitting: Fast Fourier transform. Z-transform
