Subject Code: 3150912

Semester – V
Subject Name: Signals and Systems

Type of course: Engineering Science Course

Prerequisite:

Rationale: Automation in industries and domestic level has made engineers to understand about various
systems and signals. The interfacing of the machines with the different controllers specifically needs to
calculate and estimate the basics about the signals and systems. Every domain expects engineers to be
fundamentally clear about the signals and systems. This subject clears mainly the classification of the
signals and systems with their various time and frequency domain analysis for future applications.
