Fundamentals of Signals and Systems Using MATLAB

For a Signals and Systems course in Engineering departments. Developed from Professor Kamen's best-selling text Introduction to Signals and Systems, this forward-looking text presents an accessible yet comprehensive analytical treatment of signals and systems and also incorporates a strong emphasis on solving problems and exploring concepts using MATLAB. A MATLAB tutorial is provided on a disk which is available for student/instructor use, and all examples in the text are developed in terms of the Student Edition of MATLAB A (R).

Key Benefit: This forward-looking new book presents accessible yet comprehensive analytical treatment of signals and systems and also incorporates a strong emphasis on solving problems and exploring concepts using MATLAB. Key Topics: Continuous-time and discrete-time signals and systems are treated side by side throughout, allowing for a more direct comparison between the two cases, a keener understanding of their similarities and differences, and thus a more complete grasp of the theory. Motivates theory and involves common applications such as: Electrical circuits, Analog and digital filters, Mechanical systems, Biological systems, Banking, and Manufacturing systems. Contains separate chapters on feedback control and digital filter design and the state space representation. Presents some material on nonlinear systems, linearization, and time-varying systems.
