| DESCRIPTION | This study-unit gives an introduction to linear systems and signals both in continuous and discrete time, presents signal transforms including Fourier, Laplace and Z transforms and relates the Fourier series and Fourier transform in continuous time with the discrete time Fourier transform and its variants. Study-Unit Aims: The aims of this study-unit are to: - provide the basic concepts of dynamic systems and signals in both the continuous and discrete time domains; - introduce the Fourier, Laplace and Z transforms and learn how to use these transforms for linear system analysis; - evaluate the system response in the time domain through differential and difference equations or through convolution. Learning Outcomes: 1. Knowledge & Understanding By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - represent linear time invariant (LTI) systems in the time domain using differential equations, difference equations; - represent continuous time signals in the frequency domain using Fourier series and Fourier transform; - represent discrete time signals in the frequency domain using the discrete Fourier transform and the discrete time Fourier transform; - determine the output response of an LTI system given a specific input signal; - determine the stability of an LTI system using the system's pole locations. 2. Skills By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - apply the relevant transforms to represent continuous or discrete time signals in the time or frequency domains; - analyze the performance of continuous and discrete, linear time invariant systems in the time and frequency domains.
