*Features* Cover Type: Paperback with 302 pages Published by: McGraw-Hill Professional Edition: 1st Edition August 16, 2006 Written in: English ISBN 10 Number: 0071475788 ISBN 13 Number: 978-0071475785 Book Dimensions: 9 x 7.3 x 0.6 inches Weighs: 1.2 pounds *Product Description* The fast and easy way to learn signals and systems Get a working knowledge of signal processing and systems--even if you don't have formal training, unlimited time, or a genius IQ. Signals and Systems Demystified offers an effective, illuminating, and entertaining way to learn this essential electrical engineering subject. First, you'll learn methods used to calculate energy and power in signals. Next, you'll study signals in the frequency domain using Fourier analysis. Other topics covered include amplitude, frequency, and phase modulation, spectral analysis, convolution, the Laplace transform, and the z-transform. Packed with hundreds of sample equations and explained solutions, and featuring end-of-chapter quizzes and a final exam, this book will teach you the basics of signals and systems in no time at all. Simple enough for a beginner, but challenging enough for an advanced student, Signals and Systems Demystified is your shortcut to mastering this complex subject. This hands-on, self-teaching text offers: An easy way to understand signal processing and systems Hundreds of worked examples with solutions A quiz at the end of each chapter to reinforce learning and pinpoint weaknesses A final exam at the end of the book No unnecessary technical jargon A time-saving approach to performing better on an exam or at work! *About The Author* David McMahon is a physicist and researcher at Sandia National Laboratories. He is the author of Linear Algebra Demystified, Quantum Mechanics Demystified, and Relativity Demystified. *Reader Reviews* Over all I thought this was a great book. It reviewed the basics I learned in signals and systems over six years ago and taught me some new concepts I wasn't yet aware of. One piece of evidence I have for the quality of this book is: after reading it I was able to pick up a technical journal and felt like I understood most of what they were talking about. Before reading the book I was lost in the technical journals. The math was a little frustrating, but that was simply because I needed to refresh on some things I've forgotten. If you get this book, make sure you work through the problems, it will help out a lot. Now, I did feel that the book had a few superficial flaws that should be cleaned up for the next printing. The biggest flaws were the lack of tables. The book even refers to Appendix A and Appendix B, and they don't exist in the book I have. (Page 220 refers to Appendix B, and page 118 refers to Appendix A.) These tables really aren't needed, if you are sitting in front of a computer, but if you are reading this book on the plane during takeoff you may feel lost without those tables. I also feel it would be helpful to add a third appendix of common trig identities. Overall it is a great book. Comment \| \| (Report this) Back To Top
