Discrete-Time Linear Systems

Discrete-Time Linear Systems: Theory and Design with Applications combines system theory and design in order to show the importance of system theory and its role in system design. The book focuses on system theory (including optimal state feedback and optimal state estimation) and system design (with applications to feedback control systems and wireless transceivers, plus system identification and channel estimation).

Professor Gu has taught the graduate level courses in systems engineering and design for many years and this book has evolved from course notes. As he has taught the course he has encountered students from the control area who want to pursue their study in wireless communications and students from the communication and signal processing areas who want to learn optimal estimation theory in order to solve their research problems.
