Aim:
This course will give basic knowledge about analysis and synthesis of continuous-time and discrete-time linear systems, primarily through the use of mathematical tools from transform theory. Students who pass the course are expected to:
- Define and interpret system properties such as linearity, time invariance, causality, and stability, as well as manage the consequences of those associated with problem solving.
- Interpret and mathematically manage time and frequency characteristics of deterministic continuous-time and discrete-time signals and linear time invariant (LTI) systems.
- Sketch the Bode plot of an LTI system and analyze how it is influenced by the positions of the poles and zeros of the transfer function.
- Calculate the output signal for given LTI systems, both in the time domain and in the frequency/transform domain - in the latter case, by means of appropriate transformations.
- Model problems from different application areas (such as electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, biotechnology, economics, and more) via LTI system models and analyze these models, both in the time domain and the frequency/transform domain.
- Describe the sampling theorem and its consequences, and use this theorem in problem solving and to design and analyze simple sampled systems.
- Give a well structured and logically coherent account - using adequate terminology - of the connections between different concepts in the course, both in Swedish and in English.
