Aims

To acquaint with the fundamentals of signals and systems with the continuous and discrete time. To learn to apply the fundamentals to real signals and systems.
An absolvent is able to:
- compute a freguency spectrum of continuos periodic and non- periodic signal
- demonstrate an input-output description of linear continuos system
- decide about stability of linear continuous system
- compute a freguency spectrum of discrete periodic and non- periodic signal
- demonstrate an input-output description of linear discrete system
- decide about stability of linear discrete system
- convert continuous system on discrete system
