Includes bibliographical references and index.

The textbook presents basic concepts of signals and systems in a clear manner, based on the author’s 15+ years of teaching the undergraduate course for engineering students. To attain full benefit from the content, readers should have a strong knowledge of calculus and be familiar with integration, differentiation, and summation operations. The book starts with an introduction to signals and systems and continues with coverage of basic signal functions and their manipulations; energy, power, convolution, and systems; Fourier analysis of continuous time signals and digital signals; Laplace transform; and Z transforms. Practical applications are included throughout. The book is also packed with solved examples, self-study exercises, and end of chapter problems. Presents a primer on signals and systems in a brief, clear, and focused manner Covers basic signals functions and their manipulations to help students master manipulating analog and digital signals Features a full suite of classroom materials including solved examples, self-study exercises, and end of chapter problems.
