Alan V. Oppenheim, Syed Hamid Nawab, Alan S. Willsky - Signals & Systems

This comprehensive exploration of signals and systems develops continuous- time and discrete-time concepts/methods in parallel - highlighting the similarities and differences - and features introductory treatments of the applications of these basic methods in such areas as filtering, communication, sampling, discrete-time processing of continuous-time signals, and feedback. Relatively self-contained, the book assumes no prior experience with system analysis, convolution, Fourier analysis, or Laplace and z-transforms.

FEATURES:

• Develops continuous-time and discrete-time concepts in parallel - highlighting the similarities and differences. E.g.:
• Ch. 1 on basic signals and system properties, Ch. 2 on linear time-invariant systems, and Ch. 3 on Fourier series representation each develop the continuous-time and discrete-time concepts in parallel.
• Ch. 9 on the Laplace Transform and Ch. 10 on the Z-transform deal with the two domains separ
