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.

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.

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 book is intended for use in teaching undergraduate courses on continuous-time signals and systems in engineering (and related) disciplines. It has been used for several years for teaching purposes in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Victoria and has been very well received by students. This book provides a detailed introduction to continuous-time signals and systems, with a focus on both theory and applications. The mathematics underlying signals and systems is presented, including topics such as: properties of signals, properties of systems, convolution, Fourier series, the Fourier transform, frequency spectra, and the bilateral and unilateral Laplace transforms. Applications of the theory are also explored, including: filtering, equalization, amplitude modulation, sampling, feedback control systems, circuit analysis, and Laplace-domain techniques for solving differential equations. Other supplemental material is also included, such as: a detailed introduction to MATLAB, a review of complex analysis, and an exploration of time-domain techniques for solving differential equations. Throughout the book, many worked-through examples are provided. Problem sets are also provided for each major topic covered.
