Objectives:

On completion of this subject students should:

• be able to use Laplace and Z transform methods to determine the response of circuits and systems to continuous or sampled data input signals;

• be able to calculate system outputs for impulse, step, sine wave and pulse sequence inputs;

• be able to design analogue and digital filters in order to modify signals and circuit responses.

Content:

Impulse response, impulse response convolution, the convolution sum, the convolution integral. Discretisation of continuous time signals, sampled data signals. The Z transform, Z transform analysis of sampled data systems and systems with both sampled data and analogue components. Signal flow graphs. Y, Z, H, g matrix descriptions for multiport networks. Introduction to filters. Design of analogue and digital filters.
