Continuous Signals And Systems With Matlab

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.

Continuous Signals and Systems with MATLAB® offers broad, detailed, and focused comprehensive coverage of continuous linear systems, based on basic mathematical principles. It presents many solved problems from various engineering disciplines using analytical tools as well as MATLAB. This book is intended primarily for undergraduate junior and senior electrical, mechanical, aeronautical, and aerospace engineering students. Practicing engineers will also find this book useful. This book is ideal for use in a one-semester course in continuous linear systems where the instructor can easily cover all of the chapters. Each chapter presents numerous examples that illustrate each concept. Most of the worked-out examples are first solved analytically, and then solved using MATLAB in a clear and understandable fashion. This book concentrates on explaining the subject matter with easy-to-follow mathematical development and numerous solved examples. The book covers traditional topics and includes an extensive coverage of state-space representation and analysis. The reader does not need to be fluent in MATLAB because the examples are presented in a self-explanatory way.

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

Signals and Systems: A Primer with MATLAB provides clear, interesting, and easy-to-understand coverage of continuous-time and discrete-time signals and systems. Each chapter opens with a historical profile or career talk, followed by an introduction that states the chapter objectives and links the chapter to the previous ones. All principles are pr

This book is intended for use in teaching undergraduate courses on continuous-time signals and systems in engineering (and related) disciplines. It has been used for several years for teaching purposes in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Victoria and has been very well received by students. This book provides a detailed introduction to continuous-time signals and systems, with a focus on both theory and applications. The mathematics underlying signals and systems is presented, including topics such as: properties of signals, properties of systems, convolution, Fourier series, the Fourier transform, frequency spectra, and the bilateral and unilateral Laplace transforms. Applications of the theory are also explored, including: filtering, equalization, amplitude modulation, sampling, feedback control systems, circuit analysis, and Laplace-domain techniques for solving differential equations. Other supplemental material is also included, such as: a detailed introduction to MATLAB, a review of complex analysis, and an exploration of time-domain techniques for solving differential equations. Throughout the book, many worked-through examples are provided. Problem sets are also provided for each major topic covered.
