Signals and Systems

Signals and Systems: A Primer with MATLAB^¿ provides clear, interesting, and easy-to-understand coverage of continuous-time and discrete-time signals and systems. Each chapter opens with a historical profile or career talk, followed by an introduction that states the chapter objectives and links the chapter to the previous ones. All principles are presented in a lucid, logical, step-by-step approach. As much as possible, the authors avoid wordiness and detail overload that could hide concepts and impede understanding.

In recognition of the requirements by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) on integrating computer tools, the use of MATLAB^¿ is encouraged in a student-friendly manner. MATLAB is introduced in Appendix B and applied gradually throughout the book.

Each illustrative example is immediately followed by a practice problem along with its answer. Students can follow the example ste
