Course Objectives

The goal of this course is to give students introduction to how to analyze signals and linear time invariant systems in the frequency and the spatial domain. With this course, the students will get background information for telecommunication networks, embedded systems, sound processing and recognition, neurocomputing, image processing, computer vision and pattern recognition.


Course Content

Linear time invariant systems; Frequency domain; Periodic and finite signals; Frequency response; Fourier series and transforms; Filtering; Finite impulse response filters; Sampling and reconstruction.
Prerequisites: MATH 219 and MATH 260.


Course Learning Outcomes

At the end of this course, students will be able to:

  • Understand concepts of signals and systems and discriminate between the types of signals and systems.
  • Explore the different types of operations that can be applied on signals, and discriminate between different combinations of systems.
  • Identify the linear-time invariant systems, and derive and use convolution, i.e., time-domain processing of signals.
  • Analyze signals and systems in the frequency domain via Fourier Series or Fourier Transform and compare frequency-domain processing to time-domain processing.
  • Compare and contrast continuous time, discrete time  and sampled signals
