BEE 341 Discrete-time Linear Systems

Abridged Course Syllabus

    B EE 341 covers mathematical representation of discrete-time signals and systems, analysis of the input-output relationship of linear and time-invariant (LTI) systems both in time and frequency domain (convolution, impulse response, difference equations and z-transforms), frequency domain representation of signals using DFT (FFT) and determination of frequency response of systems (DTFT).  Major topics covered in the course include:

    • Description of Discrete-time signals and systems
    • Analysis of input-output relationships of linear time invariant systems
    • Understanding impulse response and the application of convolutions
    • Solving diffrence equations.
    • Determination of frequency response of systems using DTFT
    • Computing the DFT (FFT) of signals
    • Application of the z-transform for soving the output of systems.

    Course Learning Goals: After successfully completing this course, you will be able to

    • Describe and represent discrete-time signals in time domain;
    • Classify discrete-time systems based on various properties;
    • Perform convolutions and analyze LTI systems given its impulse response;
    • Determine the solution of diffrence equations.
    • Perform frequency-domain analysis of discrete-time signals and systems; and
    • Use MATLAB to design and analyze filters.
