Signals and Systems: 8 (Tutorial Guides in Electronic Engineering) - Softcover

Reviews from the first edition: This book is well presented, very readable, and justifies serious inspection by lecturers and students in this field of study. - International Journal of Electrical Engineering Education; This edition adds a chapter dealing with the discrete Fourier transform. Includes numerous worked examples and exercises. - SciTech Book News

This book was written for first and second year undergraduates in electronic engineering and the physical sciences with the aim of providing a firm grounding in the study of signals and systems. In this second edition the authors provide a more detailed treatment of the z-transform. A new chapter serves to review and integrate much of the earlier material, while introducing the discrete Fourier transform in the context of signal capture and spectral analysis. These changes reflect the growing important of discrete-time topics in undergraduate studies and the fact that many students now have direct experience in the use and application of signal-processing software. Emphasis is placed on discussion rather than on detailed mathematical proofs, with the aim of developing and encouraging a critical approach to the use of software tools.
