A new volume of experiments that help students to relate the complex math of Signals & Systems to the real-world
 |
OVERVIEW |
| The TIMS Signals & Systems Experiments Manual makes it possible for students to experience at first hand the interaction between the theory and mathematics of the signals and systems textbook with the real world of hardware and of signals in wires and waves. In this first volume, catering for the introductory level, experiments have been designed to provide hands on exercises covering most of the key concepts and challenges, including: |
|
- System modeling and characterization
- Time and frequency domain representations and analysis
- Convolution
- The special role of sinusoids and complex exponentials in LTI systems
- Transfer functions and system responses
|
|
- Using poles and zeros to interpret and design system responses
- Conditions for stability
- Spectrum analysis and applications
- Discrete-time signals and z-transforms
- Sampling and aliasing
- Filter design and applications - continuous and discrete-time
- Analog-digital interfacing

TIMS Signals & Systems Module Set: « click to view pdf A selection of 13 TIMS-100 Series Fundamental and TIMS-400 Series Advanced modules are required to implement the majority of the above twelve experiments. Only Labs 5 & 9 require additional Advanced modules.
Of the 13 required modules, four are new modules. Two of the new z-TRANSFORM modules are required as well as two LAPLACE modules. These allow the student to implement a wide variety of first and second order, analog and discrete-time filters, as well as other fundamental signal processing structures.
