Detailed Syllabus :

Broad aims of the course:

A1. To introduce the student to the idea of signal and system analysis and characterization.

A2. To provide a foundation to numerous other courses that deal with signal and system
concepts directly or indirectly: viz: communication, control, instrumentation, and so on. The
concepts in this course are also
useful to students of disciplines other than electrical engineering; since signal and system
analysis is required in many branches of engineering and science: for example, mechanical
engineering, chemical engineering, aerospace engineering.
Proposed syllabus for the course: (this may be modified after consulting prospective
attendees: depending on need and background):

1. An introduction to signals and systems: Signals and systems as seen in everyday life, and
in various branches of engineering and science electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, thermal,
biomedical signals and systems as examples. Extracting the common essence and
requirements of signal and system analysis from these examples.

2. Formalizing signals: energy and power signals, signal properties: periodicity, absolute
integrability, determinism and stochastic character. Some special signals of importance: the
unit step, the unit impulse, the sinusoid, the complex exponential, some special time-limited
signals; continuous and discrete time signals, continuous and discrete amplitude signals.

3. Formalizing systems: system properties: linearity: additivity and homogeneity, shift-
invariance, causality, stability, realizability. Examples.

4. Continuous time and discrete time Linear shift-invariant (LSI) systems in detail: the impulse
response and step response, convolution, input-output behavior with aperiodic convergent
inputs, cascade interconnections. Characterization of causality and stability of linear shift-
invariant systems. System representation through differential equations and difference
equations.

5. Periodic and semi-periodic inputs to an LSI system, the notion of a frequency response and
its relation to the impulse response, Fourier series representation, the Fourier Transform,
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). Parseval's Theorem. The idea of signal space and
orthogonal bases of signals.

6. The Laplace Transform for continuous time signals and systems: the notion of eigen
functions of LSI systems, a basis of eigen functions, region of convergence, system functions,
poles and zeros of system functions and signals, Laplace domain analysis, solution to
differential equations and system behavior. Generalization of Parseval's Theorem.

7. The z-Transform for discrete time signals and systems: eigen functions, region of
convergence, system functions, poles and zeros of systems and sequences, z-domain analysis.
Generalization of Parseval's Theorem.

8. System realization through block-diagram representation and system interconnection.
State-space analysis and multi-input, multi-output representation. The state-transition matrix
and its role.

9. The Sampling Theorem and its implications. Spectra of sampled signals. Reconstruction:
ideal interpolator, zero-order hold, first-order hold, and so on. Aliasing and its effects. Relation
between continuous and discrete time systems.

10. Applications of signal and system theory: modulation for communication, filtering and so
on.

11. Advanced topics: time-frequency representation and the uncertainty principle, Short-time
Fourier Transforms and wavelet transforms.
