EE322 Signals and Systems (3-2-4): This course develops the relationship between the time and frequency domains for signals and the systems that operate upon them. Continuous- and discrete-time linear, time-invariant systems, including electrical circuits with zero initial conditions, are analyzed using the techniques of convolution as well as Fourier and Laplace transforms in order to determine their input-output relationships. Signals and systems are explored using these theoretical tools as well as in software simulations and hardware-based experiments.

Course Objectives
- Determine the time domain characteristics of signals and systems (continuous and discrete).
- Determine the frequency domain characteristics of signals and systems (continuous and discrete) using Fourier series, Fourier transforms, and Laplace transforms.
- Perform convolution (continuous and discrete) in both the time and frequency domains.
- Demonstrate the ability to generate, analyze, and simulate signals and systems using MATLAB, a software environment commonly used in engineering practice.
- Demonstrate the ability to generate and analyze signals and systems using function generators, oscilloscopes, and spectrum analyzers.
- Demonstrate the ability to properly record and report laboratory work.
