Features: This book stands out by specifically targeting engineering students, covering both continuous and discrete domains in one volume. The author reviews continuous-time systems, introduces the concept of signal spectra and analysis tools, with a focus on periodic signals and the Discrete Fourier Transform. Topics include:
· Analysis techniques
· Frequency response
· Standard filters
· Spectrum analysis
· Discrete-time signals and systems
· IIR and FIR filter design
· Sampling strategies
Compared to the previous edition, the second edition adds chapters on spectrum estimation and discrete domain and correlation. Additionally, a separate chapter is dedicated to the application of Laplace and Z transforms, discussing impulse invariance techniques (converting continuous-time systems into discrete-time systems). At the same time, MATLAB tutorials are provided at the end of each chapter to enhance students' understanding and mastery of MATLAB.
