Pre-requisite MAT1001 Syllabus version
1.01
Course Objectives:
The course is aimed at
[1] To introduce the students to fundamental signals like unit impulse, unit step, ramp and
exponentials and various operations on the signals.
[2] To acquaint students to static, linear, time invariant, causal and stable systems.
[3] To introduce the students to different forms and properties for the analysis of signals passed
through varied systems including convolution and correlation.
[4] To analyse the system using Laplace and Z Transform

Expected Course Outcome:

At the end of the course the student should be able to
[1] Differentiate between various types of signals and understand the implication of operations of
signals
[2] Understand the system like causal, dynamic, linear, time invariant and stable system also
students will be able to perform impulse response of both continuous time and discrete time
system.
[3] Perform the transformation from time domain to frequency domain and understand the
distribution of energy as a function of frequency.
[4] Apply Fourier transform for discrete time signals and understand the difference between CTFT
and DTFT.
[5] Usefulness of convolution for analysing the LTI systems and understand the concepts of power
spectral density through correlation.
[6] Solve differential and difference equations with initial conditions using Laplace and Z
transforms.
[7] Design a system based on the concepts of system properties.
