Karris S.T. Signals and Systems with MatLAB Computing and Simulink Modeling

4th Edition. — Orchard Publications, 2008. — 687 p.This text contains a comprehensive discussion on continuous and discrete time signals and systems with many MatLAB and several Simulink examples. It is written for junior and senior electrical and computer engineering students, and for self−study by working professionals. The prerequisites are a basic course in differential and integral calculus, and basic electric circuit theory.
This book can be used in a two−quarter, or one semester course. This author has taught the subject material for many years and was able to cover all material in 16 weeks, with 2½ lecture hours per week.
The elementary signals are reviewed in Chapter 1, and several examples are given. The purpose of this chapter is to enable the reader to express any waveform in terms of the unit step function, and subsequently the derivation of the Laplace transform of it. Chapters 2 through 4 are devoted to Laplace transformation and circuit analysis using this transform. Chapter 5 is an introduction to state−space and contains many illustrative examples. Chapter 6 discusses the impulse response. Chapters 7 and 8 are devoted to Fourier series and transform respectively. Chapter 9 introduces discrete−time signals and the Z transform. Considerable time was spent on Chapter 10 to present the Discrete Fourier transform and FFT with the simplest possible explanations. Chapter 11 contains a thorough discussion to analog and digital filters analysis and design procedures. As mentioned above, Appendix A is an introduction to MatLAB. Appendix B is an introduction to Simulink, Appendix C contains a review of complex numbers, and Appendix D is an introduction to matrix theory.
The most notable change in the Fourth Edition is the inclusion of Appendix E on window functions. The plots were generated generated with the latest revisions of the MatLAB R2008a edition. Also, two end-of-chapter exercises were added in Chapter 10 to illustrate the use of the fft and ifft MatLAB Functions.Elementary Signals
