This course provides an introduction and methodology of linear dynamic systems in relation to discrete- and continuous-time signals. Topics include representation of systems and signals; Fourier, Laplace, and Z-transforms; and convolution. Linear systems are described in terms of inputs and outputs and expressed as transfer functions. Systems are analyzed in the time domain and frequency domain. Filtering and processing of signals will be discussed as application of the theory. System response will be modeled and visualized using simulation software.
