Objective:
The aim of the course is to introduce students to mathematical foundations of signals, systems and
algorithms to process signals. At the end of the course students will be able to use MATLAB to
generate signals and process the same using various types of filters and systems. The practical aspects
will be explained through a series of lab assignments on MATLAB.
Course Outline
UNIT -I: Introduction to signals:
Brief introduction to signals and their applications. Analog and digital signals. Continuous and discrete
signals. Types of signals: Constant, Step, Ramp, Impulse, Dirac, periodic, exponential. Operations on
Signals: Magnitude Scaling, Time shifting, Sampling.
UNIT -II: Introduction to systems: Properties: Memory less, stability, Linearity, Causality, Time
invariance. Linear Time invariant systems, Causality and Causal Systems, system stability Integration
of systems: Cascading, parallel, feedback.
UNIT -III: Mathematical Concepts: Review of probability, statistics and differential equations.
Introduction to Random Variables, Probability and Cumulative distribution curves, Correlation,
Covariance, Convolution of signals
UNIT-IV: Signal Processing Techniques: Fourier Transforms, Fourier Series, Z-Transforms and
Laplace Transforms and their applications
UNIT-V: Digital signal Processing: Types of Filters, Signal responses to filters, Finite Impulse
Response (FIR) and Infinite Impulse Response (I IR). Nyquist criterion, Fast Fourier Transform,
Discrete Fourier Transforms, decimation-in-time (DIT) FFT, Inverse Fourier transforms, Types of
window functions and frequency responses.

Suggested Assignments
Weekly assignments based on MATLAB programming may be provided to help students to better
understand design aspects and visualize results. Assignments may be designed around concepts like
generation of different types of signals, processing the m using functions provided in MATLAB, A
brief introduction to Simulink Tool boxes (in MATLAB) may be provided. Assignments may be
designed to augment topics taught in classroom
