EEE 391  Basics of Signals and Systems

Fall 2026-2027

Course Description

• The subject matter of this course is central to the mathematical analysis of linear systems arising in many areas of science and engineering. This provides a foundation for the analysis and processing of various kinds of media and information that are pervasive in modern society.

• The many concepts developed, most notably that of frequency-domain analysis, are one of the most important intellectual pillars of the discipline.

• Content:
  Introduction to continuous-time and discrete-time signals and systems. Linear time-invariant (LTI) systems. Fourier analysis for continuous-time signals and systems. Introduction to sampling, filtering, z transform, and other selected topics.
