Course Goals:
We will continue our study of linear systems by focusing on more modern and widely-applied discrete time signals, systems, transforms. We will also use computer simulation to illustrate better both discrete-time domain and frequency domain signal processing operations. Our frequency domain characterizations will include discrete-time (DT) versions of the Fourier series (for exactly periodic DT signals), the Fourier transform (for aperiodic DT signals), and the z-transform (for non-steady state DT signals – like the Laplace transform, but for DT signals). Part of the responsibility of this course is to continue learning MATLAB™.
