Engineering

For a Signals and Systems course in Engineering departments.

Developed from Professor Kamen's best-selling text Introduction to Signals and Systems, this forward-looking text presents an accessible yet comprehensive analytical treatment of signals and systems and also incorporates a strong emphasis on solving problems and exploring concepts using MATLAB. A MATLAB tutorial is provided on a disk which is available for student/instructor use, and all examples in the text are developed in terms of the Student Edition of MATLAB ^®.

• Extensive use of MATLAB included throughout the book—Requires no previous experience with MATLAB.

  • Allows students to follow and implement MATLAB-based examples and problems given in the book. Ex.___

• Most computational aspects of theory are illustrated by using MATLAB.

• A disk is available free from MATHWORKS containing all the MATLAB examples given in the text—Included on the disk is a brief tutorial on MATLAB which is tailored to the text.

• Continuous-time and discrete-time signals and systems are treated in parallel throughout the text.

  • Allows for a more direct comparison between the two cases, a keener understanding of their similarities and differences, and thus a more complete grasp of the theory. Ex.___

• Numerous illustrative examples and homework problems are provided and interspersed throughout the text, motivating theory and involving common applications such as—electrical circuits, analog and digital filters, mechanical systems, biological systems, banking, and manufacturing systems.

• Separate chapters on feedback control and digital filter design—Illustrate the application of transform techniques to give students solid preparation for advanced electives in signal processing and controls. Chapters on Fourier transformation also contain a number of relevant applications in communications.

• Emphasizes the construction of discrete-time models from continuous-time models so that actual systems can be studied using a digital computer.

  • Helps explain how MATLAB software is used for continuous-time systems and powerfully illustrates the theory's usefulness in being able to carry out computations. Ex.___

• Devotes a chapter to the state space representation.

  • Prepares students for an elective course in modern control. Ex.___

• Presents some material on nonlinear systems, linearization, and time-varying systems.

  • Prepares students for systems they will encounter in practice while limiting the level of presentation of these topics to that appropriate for an introductory text. Ex.___

  For a one-quarter or one-semster course on Signals and Systems.

   

  This new edition delivers an accessible yet comprehensive analytical introduction to continuous-time and discrete-time signals and systems. It also incorporates a strong emphasis on solving problems and exploring concepts, using demos, downloaded data, and MATLAB^â to demonstrate solutions for a wide range of problems in engineering and other fields such as financial data analysis. Its flexible structure adapts easily for courses taught by semester or by quarter.

The book contains an introductory, yet comprehensive, treatment of continuous time and discrete-time signal and systems with demos on the Web and MATLAB examples integrated throughout the text. The second edition contains modifications of the material in the first edition to improve the presentation, additional illustrative examples and homework problems, a new chapter on communication systems, and the use of numerous on-line demos that illustrate the concepts and techniques presented in the book. The demos are available at the Web site (http://users.ece.gatech.edu/~bonnie/book) that accompanies this text. The chapter on communications covers both analog and digital modulation with an emphasis on the digital case, including phase-shift keying, frequency-shift keying, quadrature amplitude modulation, and on-off keying.
