Synopsis

This comprehensive textbook emphasizes the difference between models and the physical signals and systems they represent. Beginning with continuous-time topics and progressing to discrete-time materials, yet flexible for courses that treat them in parallel, Signals, Systems, and Transforms: introduces signals and systems and describes several physical continuous-time and discrete-time systems; covers the Fourier series, the Fourier transform for continuous-time signals and systems, the Laplace transform, and state variables for continuous-time systems; develops the z-transform with the discrete-time Fourier transform and the discrete Fourier transform, and gives state variables for discrete-time systems. In addition, the authors integrate the software tool MATLAB as much as possible in examples and homework problems.

About this title

From the Publisher

Explores the full range of signals, systems, and transforms both continuous-time and discrete-time with a focus on the relationship between theory and its application in practice.

SIGNALS, SYSTEMS, AND TRANSFORMS

FOURTH EDITION

Charles L. Phillips - John M. Parr - Eve A. Riskin

 

A clear, comprehensive presentation of the theory and applications of signals, systems, and transforms. presents the mathematical backgroung of signals and systems, including the Fourier transform, the Fourier series, the Laplace transform, the discrte-time and discrete Fourier transforms, and the z-transforms. Organization permits great flexibility in course emphasis. MATLAB® examples are integrated throughout the book. The advanced features of the student version of MATLAB are integrated into the examples and problems.

 

The interactive Web site at

www.ee.washington.edu/class/SST_textbook/textbook.html has numerous animated demonstrations and interactive examples.

 

More than 350 homework problems and over 150 examples. Answers to selected problems enable students to gain instant feedback of their understanding of new concepts.

 

Significant Changes in the Fourth Edition

1. Concepts presented more clearly.
2. More concise introduction to convolution in Chapter 3.
3. Expanded presentation of the Discrete Fourier Transform in Chapter 12.
4. Revised problem sets for most chapters. Problems arranged so sets of problems relating to a common concept are presented together. The answer to at least one problem from each set is provided in an appendix.
5. Biographical information about selected pioneers in the area of signal and system analysis has been added in appropriate sections of the text.
