Prerequisite(s): Math 223, 224 and E E 214.

This course reviews input/output relationship from the perspective of linear differential equations and introduces convolution integrals as a general solution. Mathematical concepts of spectrum, the Fourier series for periodic signals and the Fourier transform for aperiodic signals, are covered to understand the spectrum of signals based on continuous time. Then, starting from sampling and related phenomena, discrete time base is introduced leading toward difference equations and the z-transform. Following the full discussion of the z-transform, basic concepts of DSP and the use of FFT are briefly covered.
