Product Description
This text contains a comprehensive discussion on continuous and discrete time signals and systems with many MATLAB® and several Simulink® examples. It is written for junior and senior electrical and computer engineering students, and for self-study by working professionals. The prerequisites are a basic course in differential and integral calculus, and basic electric circuit theory. To get the most out of this text, it is highly recommended that Appendix A is thoroughly reviewed. This appendix serves as an introduction to MATLAB, and is intended for those who are not familiar with it. The Student Edition of MATLAB is an inexpensive, and yet a very powerful software package. The elementary signals are reviewed in Chapter 1, and several examples are given. The purpose of this chapter is to enable the reader to express any waveform in terms of the unit step function, and subsequently the derivation of the Laplace transform of it. Chapters 2 through 4 are devoted to Laplace transformation and circuit analysis using this transform. Chapter 5 is an introduction to state-space and contains many illustrative examples. Chapter 6 discusses the impulse response. Chapters 7 and 8 are devoted to Fourier series and transform respectively. Chapter 9 introduces discrete-time signals and the Z transform. Considerable time was spent on Chapter 10 to present the Discrete Fourier transform and FFT with the simplest possible explanations. Chapter 11 contains a thorough discussion to analog and digital filters analysis and design procedures. As mentioned above, Appendix A is an introduction to MATLAB. Appendix B is an introduction to Simulink, Appendix C contains a review of complex numbers, and Appendix D is an introduction to matrix theory.

Download Description
This text is primarily written for junior and senior undergraduates majoring in electrical and computer engineering. You will need this text if you are a student or working professional seeking to learn and/or review the basics of the Laplace and Z-transforms, the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), state variables, and the design of analog and digital filters. Contains many real-world examples completely solved in detail and verified with MATLAB. No previous MATLAB knowledge is required. The material in Appendix A and the inexpensive MATLAB Student Version (5 through 14) is all you need. Moreover, this book can be used with or without MATLAB.
