Objectives At completion of the subject, students should have a broad knowledge of systems concepts and transform theories in the signals and systems application areas, and be able to analyse, model and represent continuous- and discrete-time deterministic signals; analyse, model and represent continuous- and discrete-time linear and time-invariant (LTI) systems using various standard techniques; and understand the basic approach to analysis and representation of non-linear and time-variant continuous- or discrete-time systems as well as nondeterministic signals.

Synopsis In this subject students are introduced to the fundamental concepts, theory, techniques and CAD tools (such as Matlab) used in modelling, representation, analysis of continuous-time (or analog) and discrete-time (or digital) signals and systems. It provides a theoretical foundation for advanced subjects in special applications areas, such as digital signal processing, communications, robotics, industrial and medical instrumentation, biomedical engineering, seismology, and discrete-time control. The syllabus covers representation and modelling of signals, and mechanical and electrical systems; analysis and stability of linear time-invariant (LTI) continuous- and discrete-time systems; state-space models; time-domain analysis of continuous- and discrete-time systems; frequency-domain analysis of continuous- and discrete-time systems; discretisation of analog signals and systems; reconstruction of signals from samples; discrete-time processing of continuous-time signals; discrete-time filters; and application of CAD tools in system analysis and modelling.
