EE 341 - Objectives
The objectives of the linear systems sequence are for the student to be able
to analyze linear time-invariant continuous-time and discrete-time systems, and
to design simple systems. EE 341 covers time-domain and frequency-domain
representations of signals, and time-domain, frequency-domain representations,
and transfer function representation of linear systems.
To accomplish this, the student will be able to:
- Describe the basics of linear time-invariant systems and systems.
- Determine whether a system is linear, time-invariant, and causal.
- Represent continuous-time linear systems by differential equations, and
discrete-time linear systems by difference equations.
- Find the output of a simple linear system by solving its differential or
difference equation.
- Find the output of a simple linear system through convolution techniques.
- Determine the frequency components of signals using the Fourier transform.
- Determine the responses of linear systems to simple inputs using Fourier
transform techniques.
- Use the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) to approximate the discrete-time
Fourier transform (DTFT) of discrete-time signals.
- Determine the responses of continuous time linear systems to simple inputs
using Laplace transform techniques.
- Determine the responses of discrete time linear systems to simple inputs
using z-transform techniques.
- Use MATLAB to plot signals.
- Use MATLAB to generate computer implementations of the techniques for
analysis and design of linear systems discussed in this course.
