Designed for a one-semester undergraduate course in continuous linear systems, Continuous Signals and Systems with MATLAB®, Second Edition presents the tools required to design, analyze, and simulate dynamic systems. It thoroughly describes the process of the linearization of nonlinear systems, using MATLAB® to solve most examples and problems. With updates and revisions throughout, this edition focuses more on state-space methods, block diagrams, and complete analog filter design. New to the Second Edition • A chapter on block diagrams that covers various classical and state-space configurations • A completely revised chapter that uses MATLAB to illustrate how to design, simulate, and implement analog filters • Numerous new examples from a variety of engineering disciplines, with an emphasis on electrical and electromechanical engineering problems Explaining the subject matter through easy-to-follow mathematical development as well as abundant examples and problems, the text covers signals, types of systems, convolution, differential equations,Fourier series and transform, the Laplace transform, state-space representations, block diagrams, system linearization, and analog filter design. Requiring no prior fluency with MATLAB, it enables students to master both the concepts of continuous linear systems and the use of MATLAB to solve problems.

This book is primarily intended for junior-level students who take the courses on ‘signals and systems’. It may be useful as a reference text for practicing engineers and scientists who want to acquire some of the concepts required for signal proce- ing. The readers are assumed to know the basics about linear algebra, calculus (on complex numbers, differentiation, and integration), differential equations, Laplace R transform, and MATLAB . Some knowledge about circuit systems will be helpful. Knowledge in signals and systems is crucial to students majoring in Electrical Engineering. The main objective of this book is to make the readers prepared for studying advanced subjects on signal processing, communication, and control by covering from the basic concepts of signals and systems to manual-like introduc- R R tions of how to use the MATLAB and Simulink tools for signal analysis and lter design. The features of this book can be summarized as follows: 1. It not only introduces the four Fourier analysis tools, CTFS (continuous-time Fourier series), CTFT (continuous-time Fourier transform), DFT (discrete-time Fourier transform), and DTFS (discrete-time Fourier series), but also illuminates the relationship among them so that the readers can realize why only the DFT of the four tools is used for practical spectral analysis and why/how it differs from the other ones, and further, think about how to reduce the difference to get better information about the spectral characteristics of signals from the DFT analysis.

Signals and Systems Using MATLAB, Third Edition, features a pedagogically rich and accessible approach to what can commonly be a mathematically dry subject. Historical notes and common mistakes combined with applications in controls, communications and signal processing help students understand and appreciate the usefulness of the techniques described in the text. This new edition features more end-of-chapter problems, new content on two-dimensional signal processing, and discussions on the state-of-the-art in signal processing. - Introduces both continuous and discrete systems early, then studies each (separately) in-depth - Contains an extensive set of worked examples and homework assignments, with applications for controls, communications, and signal processing - Begins with a review on all the background math necessary to study the subject - Includes MATLAB® applications in every chapter

Drawing on the author's 25+ years of teaching experience, Signals and Systems: A MATLAB Integrated Approach presents a novel and comprehensive approach to understanding signals and systems theory. Many texts use MATLAB as a computational tool, but Alkin's text employs MATLAB both computationally and pedagogically to provide interactive, visual rein

"Provides rigorous treatment of deterministic and random signals"--

Signals, Systems, Transforms, and Digital Signal Processing with MATLAB® has as its principal objective simplification without compromise of rigor. Graphics, called by the author, "the language of scientists and engineers", physical interpretation of subtle mathematical concepts, and a gradual transition from basic to more advanced topics are meant to be among the important contributions of this book. After illustrating the analysis of a function through a step-by-step addition of harmonics, the book deals with Fourier and Laplace transforms. It then covers discrete time signals and systems, the z-transform, continuous- and discrete-time filters, active and passive filters, lattice filters, and continuous- and discrete-time state space models. The author goes on to discuss the Fourier transform of sequences, the discrete Fourier transform, and the fast Fourier transform, followed by Fourier-, Laplace, and z-related transforms, including Walsh–Hadamard, generalized Walsh, Hilbert, discrete cosine, Hartley, Hankel, Mellin, fractional Fourier, and wavelet. He also surveys the architecture and design of digital signal processors, computer architecture, logic design of sequential circuits, and random signals. He concludes with simplifying and demystifying the vital subject of distribution theory. Drawing on much of the author’s own research work, this book expands the domains of existence of the most important transforms and thus opens the door to a new world of applications using novel, powerful mathematical tools.

Developed as a textbook for the laboratory part of the course Signals and Systems, this book introduces students to theory through analytical examples implemented in Matlab code. Thus every theoretical equation is accompanied by the corresponding code implementation. Instead of using big M-Files or author-written functions with comments, the commands are executed one-by-one at the Matlab command line and the results, dong with comments are given side-by side in two or three column tables. This is very helpful and popular to students in Electrical Engineering, since the nature of this course includes detailed mathematical derivations and demands a strong mathematical background.
