    <Content>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This unit will cover the following:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Induction and overview (2 lectures): &lt;/strong&gt;Introduction to the course, motivation for why we need to study signals and systems. Demonstration of Matlab and Simulink as computer software tools for analysing signals and systems.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mathematical fundamentals (2 lectures):&lt;/strong&gt; Revision of complex numbers, ordinary differntial equations and other mathematics required for studying signals and systems.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Concepts (4 lectures): &lt;/strong&gt;Definitions of systems, signals and mathematical models of them. Focus on continuous-time and discrete-time signals and linear time-invariant systems.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Convolution (4 lectures):&lt;/strong&gt; The system impulse response and is use to represent a system. Description of an input signal as a continuum of impulses. Showing how these can be combined to give the convolution operation which calculates the system output. Convolution for both discrete-time and sontinuous-time signals and systems.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fourier series and transforms (4 lectures):&lt;/strong&gt; Concept of basis functions. Fourier series representation of signals. Fourier transform representation of signals in the frequency domain. Fourier transform properties.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Laplace transforms (3 lectures):&lt;/strong&gt; Laplace transform for representing signals and systems. Similarities and differences between the Fourier transform and the Laplace transform.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Transfer functions of continuous-time systems (2 lectures):&lt;/strong&gt; Transfer functions in both Laplace and Fourier domains. System frequency response and Bode diagram from the Fourier transfer function. Physical realizability, stability, and poles/zeros from the transfer function.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Transfer functions of discrete-time systems (2 lectures): &lt;/strong&gt;The Laplace transform of discrete impulses sequences leading to the z transform. Properties of the z transform. Transfer functions for discrete-time systems working in z domain.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tutorials (1 lecture): &lt;/strong&gt;Feedback and working of the lab work.
