This Third Edition of a proven text presents the most widely used techniques of signal and systems analysis with superb coverage of devices. Intended for junior and senior students with basic calculus, this text features a clear organization of topics beginning with convolution, then moves to unusually extensive coverage of Fourier transforms. There are generous examples of discrete system applications that students can easily follow. The second half of the text supplies broad coverage of one- and two-sided Laplace transforms and analysis of discrete signals and systems by means of the z-transform. Students will benefit from state space material that has been expanded and rearranged to present the discrete case first, as well as an expanded learning system including solutions to all exercises plus an expanded appendix table with easy access to frequently encountered mathematical relationships used in signal analysis.

Terminology and review - Elements of difference equations - The Z-transform - Fourier representation of sequences - Discrete-time system transfer functions - Infinite impulse response discrete-time filters - Finite impulse response discrete-time filters - Some implementation considerations.

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.

A valuable introduction to the fundamentals of continuous and discrete time signal processing, this book is intended for the reader with little or no background in this subject. The emphasis is on development from basic principles. With this book the reader can become knowledgeable about both the theoretical and practical aspects of digital signal processing.Some special features of this book are: (1) gradual and step-by-step development of the mathematics for signal processing, (2) numerous examples and homework problems, (3) evolutionary development of Fourier series, Discrete Fourier Transform, Fourier Transform, Laplace Transform, and Z-Transform, (4) emphasis on the relationship between continuous and discrete time signal processing, (5) many examples of using the computer for applying the theory, (6) computer based assignments to gain practical insight, (7) a set of computer programs to aid the reader in applying the theory.

"Signals and Systems: Analysis Using Transform Methods and MATLAB captures the mathematical beauty of signals and systems and offers a student-centered, pedagogically driven approach. The author has a clear understanding of the issues students face in learning the material and does a superior job of addressing these issues. The book is intended to cover a one-semester sequence in Signals and Systems for juniors in engineering. This text is created in modular format, so instructors can select chapters within the framework that they teach this course. In addition, this text offers ARIS. McGraw-Hill's Homework Management System. 100 Static problems are offered for the Roberts text." -- Publisher.
