Introductory textbook on the fundamental concepts of continuous-time and discrete-time signals and systems, self-contained for independent or combined teaching approaches. Includes a CD-ROM containing MATLAB code and various signals. Contains worked examples, homework problems (solutions for instructors online) and extensive illustrations. Suitable for undergraduates in electrical and computer engineering.

This textbook presents an introduction to the fundamental concepts of continuous-time (CT) and discrete-time (DT) signals and systems, treating them separately in a pedagogical and self-contained manner. Emphasis is on the basic signal processing principles, with underlying concepts illustrated using practical examples from signal processing, multimedia communications, and bioinformatics. Following introductory chapters, the text is separated into two parts. Part I covers the theories, techniques, and applications of CT signals and systems and Part II discusses these topics for DT, so that the two can be taught independently or together. With over 300 illustrations, 285 worked examples and 385 homework problems, this textbook is an ideal introduction to the subject for undergraduates in electrical and computer engineering.

This innovative textbook provides a solid foundation in both signal processing and systems modeling using a building block approach. The authors show how to construct signals from fundamental building blocks, and demonstrate a range of powerful design and simulation techniques in Matlab, recognizing that signal data are usually received in discrete samples, regardless of whether the underlying system is discrete or continuous in nature.Containing many worked examples, homework exercises, and a range of Matlab laboratory exercises, this is an ideal textbook for undergraduate students of engineering, and related disciplines.

Appropriate for courses in Signals and Systems, and Transform Theory. This introductory text assists students in developing the ability to understand and analyze both continuous and discrete-time systems. The authors present the most widely used techniques of signal and system analysis in a highly readable and understandable fashion.

This textbook offers a comprehensive survey of continuous and discrete time linear systems. It introduces and treats the topics separately to aid students' understanding and to allow the discrete time material to build naturally on the continuous time topics. Examples and applications are included.

A best-seller in its print version, this comprehensive CD-ROM reference contains unique, fully searchable coverage of all major topics in digital signal processing (DSP), establishing an invaluable, time-saving resource for the engineering community. Its unique and broad scope includes contributions from all DSP specialties, including: telecommunications, computer engineering, acoustics, seismic data analysis, DSP software and hardware, image and video processing, remote sensing, multimedia applications, medical technology, radar and sonar applications
