Transform theory is of central importance in providing a coherent understanding of signals and systems. However, transforms have often been presented in a fragmented and mathematical way. This book provides a clear and systematic framework for representing, solving and linking continuous-time and discrete-time signals and systems through a unique demonstration of the unity of the transforms.
Key features of this book:
- A consistent and comprehensive treatment of continuous-time and discrete-time signals and systems
- A treatment of transforms as a united family headed by the Laplace Transform
- A unique graphical interpretation of the concepts, thereby easing the mathematical nature of the subject
This book will be very suitable for undergraduate and graduate engineers and applied mathematicians taking courses in signals and systems, digital-signal processing, communications and control engineering. It will also provide an excellent overview of transforms for professional engineers and researchers.
