EE 342 - Objectives

The objectives of the linear systems sequence are for the student to be able to analyze a linear time-invariant system, and to design simple control systems and filters. EE 341 covers time-domain and frequency-domain representations of linear systems. EE 342 will cover 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.
• Find the transfer function representation of a continuous-time system using Laplace transforms
• Analyze a continuous-time system using Laplace transforms
• Design continuous-time Butterworth filters
• Analyze and design simple control systems
• Find the transfer function representation of a discrete-time system using z transforms
• Design discrete-time filters and controllers
• Use state space techniques to analyze simple continuous and discrete time systems
• Use MATLAB to generate computer implementations of the techniques for analysis and design of linear systems discussed in this course.
