• Basic classes of signals and systems
  • Introduction and notation
  • Signals
  • Systems
• Signals
  • Elementary signals
  • Reaction of linear systems on elementary signals
  • Signal decomposition into elementary signals
• Spectral representations of deterministic signals
  • Fourier series, Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT)
  • Fourier transform
  • Laplace and z transform
• Linear systems
  • Reaction on elementary signals
  • Reaction on arbitrary signals
  • Quantities for describing linear systems and their relations
  • Stability of linear systems
  • Rational transfer-functions
• Modulation
  • Basics
  • Sampling theorem
