Fundamentals of Signals and Systems South Asian Edition A Building Block Approach

This innovative textbook provides a solid foundation in both signal processing and systems modeling using a building block approach. The author shows how to construct signals from fundamental building blocks (or basis functions), and demonstrate a range of powerful design and simulation techniques in MATLAB@, recognizing that signal data are usually received in discrete samples regardless of whether the underlyiing system is discrete or continuous in nature. The book begins with key concepts such as the orthogonality principle and the discrete Fourier transform. Using the building block approach as a unifying principle, the modeling, analysis and design of electrical and mechanical systems are then covered, using various real-world examples. The deisgn of finite impulse response filters is also described in detail.
