The second edition of Signals and Systems: Analysis Using Transform Methods and MATLAB^® has been extensively updated while retaining the emphasis on fundamental applications and theory that has been the book's hallmark. This classic text presents comprehensive coverage of all basic signal and system topics and analysis methods for junior or senior students. It can also be used for a one-semester graduate-level review course.

Key Features of the Second Edition

• A more modular organization of topics; 10 chapters emphasizing mathematical principles and theory plus 6 chapters emphasizing applications of transform methods to practical problems. This organization allows more flexibility in topic coverage and sequencing.
• Four chapters on practical applications have been added:


• Frequency Response Analysis
• Communication System Analysis
• Filter Analysis and Design
• State-Space Analysis


• Increased coverage of the discussion of mathematical models of systems, the bilateral Laplace and z transforms, and many more topics.
• More emphasis has been placed on the importance of the principle of orthogonality in understanding the theoretical basis for Fourier analysis, in both continuous and discrete time.
• Increased emphasis on the use of the discrete Fourier transform to approximate other types of transforms and some common signal-processing techniques using numerical methods.
• Many MATLAB examples are included.
• A wealth of exercises, including drill exercises with answers and more challenging problems without answers.
