1. Course Description: This course is intended to provide comprehensive coverage of Signals and
Systems, a fundamental subject of Electrical Engineering. The topics covered are Continuous-time and
discrete-time signals and systems, convolution, properties of linear time-invariant (LTI) systems,
Fourier series, Fourier transform, Laplace transform, z-transform, system analysis, frequency response,
analog filters, sampling and reconstruction.
2. Scope and Objective of the Course: This course covers the basics of signals and systems. It deals
with the basic transformations that are essential for signal processing-related applications. Apart from
the regular lecture series, the weekly tutorial session will assist the students in a better understanding
of the concepts. The evaluation components include quizzes (conducted during tutorial hours) and
exams. The students must review the following mathematical topics: Calculus, vector analysis,
coordinate systems, arithmetic and geometric progression, probability, and complex variables.
