Modern Signals and Systems


Book Description

An exploration of the basics of signal theory, and of both the time-and frequency-domain analyses of systems. The discrete and continuous-time cases are presented in parallel, at times in a two-column format for ease of comparison. Separate chapters examine applications in signal processing, digital filtering, communication systems, and automatic c.




Fundamentals of Signals and Systems


Book Description

This book is a self-contained introduction to the theory of signals and systems, which lies at the basis of many areas of electrical and computer engineering. In the seventy short ?glectures,?h formatted to facilitate self-learning and to provide easy reference, the book covers such topics as linear time-invariant (LTI) systems, the Fourier transform, the Laplace Transform and its application to LTI differential systems, state-space systems, the z-transform, signal analysis using MATLAB, and the application of transform techniques to communication systems. A wide array of technologies, including feedback control, analog and discrete-time fi lters, modulation, and sampling systems are discussed in connection with their basis in signals and systems theory. The accompanying CD-ROM includes applets, source code, sample examinations, and exercises with selected solutions.




Signals and Systems Primer with MATLAB


Book Description

Signals and Systems Primer with MATLAB® equally emphasizes the fundamentals of both analog and digital signals and systems. To ensure insight into the basic concepts and methods, the text presents a variety of examples that illustrate a wide range of applications, from microelectromechanical to worldwide communication systems. It also provides MATLAB functions and procedures for practice and verification of these concepts. Taking a pedagogical approach, the author builds a solid foundation in signal processing as well as analog and digital systems. The book first introduces orthogonal signals, linear and time-invariant continuous-time systems, discrete-type systems, periodic signals represented by Fourier series, Gibbs's phenomenon, and the sampling theorem. After chapters on various transforms, the book discusses analog filter design, both finite and infinite impulse response digital filters, and the fundamentals of random digital signal processing, including the nonparametric spectral estimation. The final chapter presents different types of filtering and their uses for random digital signal processing, specifically, the use of Wiener filtering and least mean squares filtering. Balancing the study of signals with system modeling and interactions, this text will help readers accurately develop mathematical representations of systems.







Site Reliability Engineering


Book Description

The overwhelming majority of a software system’s lifespan is spent in use, not in design or implementation. So, why does conventional wisdom insist that software engineers focus primarily on the design and development of large-scale computing systems? In this collection of essays and articles, key members of Google’s Site Reliability Team explain how and why their commitment to the entire lifecycle has enabled the company to successfully build, deploy, monitor, and maintain some of the largest software systems in the world. You’ll learn the principles and practices that enable Google engineers to make systems more scalable, reliable, and efficient—lessons directly applicable to your organization. This book is divided into four sections: Introduction—Learn what site reliability engineering is and why it differs from conventional IT industry practices Principles—Examine the patterns, behaviors, and areas of concern that influence the work of a site reliability engineer (SRE) Practices—Understand the theory and practice of an SRE’s day-to-day work: building and operating large distributed computing systems Management—Explore Google's best practices for training, communication, and meetings that your organization can use
