Module description

This module introduce the characteristics and properties of signals and systems and provide fundamental tools for their analysis and representation.

The module will elaborate on signal representations: continuous and discrete signals; Elementary signals: unit impulse, unit step, real exponential, sinusoids, complex exponential signals; Transformations of the independent variable: time-reversal, time-shift, time-scaling; Periodicity of signals: periods and fundamental period, frequency; Harmonically related signals in CT and DT; Fourier series representation of periodic signals in CT and DT: definitions and properties; Fourier Transform of CT signals: definitions and properties; Time and Frequency domain representations of signals: duality; Systems properties: linearity, causality, time-invariance, memory, stability; LTI systems: impulse response and frequency response; Introduction to filtering and modulation.
