Course overview

This course provides students with a comprehensive foundation in modelling and analysis of continuous-time signals and systems. The course covers signal representation, time- and frequency-domain analysis, linear time-invariant systems, convolution, Fourier and Laplace transforms and analogue filters. Theoretical knowledge is applied to various engineering applications, in the process developing practical skills through a series of hands-on computer exercises. The knowledge and skills developed in this course form the foundation to enable further studies in electrical and electronic engineering.

  • Introduction, Lti Systems And Time Domain Analysis
  • Time-Domain Analysis
  • Frequency Domain Analysis
  • Laplace Domain Analysis
  • Laplace-Domain Analysis

Course learning outcomes

  • Apply time-, frequency- and Laplace domain techniques to represent continuous-time signals and analyse continuous-time linear time-invariant systems
  • Compute signal spectrum and power/energy spectral density, for periodic and aperiodic signals commonly encountered in electrical engineering
  • Determine frequency response and transfer functions of linear time-invariant systems, including analog filters, using analytical and computational methods
  • Utilise software for signal manipulation and system analysis
