  • L12 Symmetrical Conditions in TFS-18:24

    Explains the three symmetry conditions in trigonometric Fourier series—even, odd, and half-wave symmetry—and shows how even signals yield cosine terms while odd signals yield sine terms.

  • L13 Symmetrical Conditions in TFS-2(Half wave symmetry)11:16

    Investigate half wave symmetry, where shifting by half the fundamental period and inverting amplitude yields the same signal, leading to no dc component and only odd harmonics.

  • L18 Dirichlet condtions5:38

    Apply the Dirichlet conditions to determine when a Fourier series exists: verify weak and strong conditions, including absolute integrability over one period and finite maxima, minima, and discontinuities.

  • L19 Properties- Time Shifting5:50

    Analyze the time shifting property of exponential Fourier series and demonstrate that shifting a periodic signal by t0 preserves the magnitude spectrum while shifting the phase by n ω0 t0.

  • L20 Properties- Frequency Shifting3:14

    Explore the frequency shifting property of the Fourier series, where shifting the frequency domain by m corresponds to multiplying the time-domain signal by e^{j m omega_0 t}, an eigen function.

  • L21 Properties- Time inversion2:23

    Explore the time inversion property: a time-reversed signal X(-T) yields a spectrum D(-n) with unchanged magnitude but inverted phase; real signals impose conjugate relations.

  • L22 Properties- Time Scaling Property6:53

    The time scaling property changes the fundamental period to t0/a and the fundamental frequency to a ω0, reflecting compression or expansion; in Fourier series, scaling does not alter the spectrum.

  • L23 Properties- Time Differentiation Property3:27

    Explore the time differentiation property: differentiating x(t) multiplies its spectrum by j n omega naught. Divide the spectrum by j n omega naught for time integration.

  • L24 Properties- Linearity3:18

    Explore the conjugation property in Fourier series, mapping time-domain conjugation to frequency-domain inversion. Verify linearity by applying homogeneity and additivity to spectral components.

    Learn circular convolution of two periodic signals with the same fundamental period, computed over one period, and how this time-domain operation corresponds to multiplication of their spectrums.

  • L26 Properties- Multiplication in Time domain5:54

Requirements

  • Undergraduate course on Signals & Systems-I

Description

This is an undergraduate course on signals and systems. This course is the second part in a series of two courses on basics of signals and systems

For any electrical, electronics, Instrumentation or bio-medical engineering student applying transformation theory to signal processing and system analysis is necessary.

My previous course "undergraduate course on signals and systems-I" is a prerequisite for complete understanding of this course. Or one must have a good knowledge in introductory signals, system properties and Convlution techniques.


Fourier series: Fourier series is a powerful mathematical tool that converts a periodic signal in continuous time domain into frequency domain. Fourier series splits up a periodic signal into infinite harmonically related sinusoidal components or inotherwords by combining infinite harmonically related sinusoidal signals a periodic signal(usually non-sinusoidal) can be synthesized.


Fourier transform: A power-packed mathematical tool that synthesizes aperiodic signals. The Fourier spectrum obtained here is used in analog communication techniques and in Analog filters. Signal processing through an LTI system can be visualized in frequency domain.


Laplace transform: Laplace transform is a simple yet powerful mathematical tool which gives the S-domain representation for a time domain signal. Some of the limitations of Fourier techniques can be overcomed by Laplace transform. Laplace transform is the back-bone of Control systems and Analog network analysis. Transfer function of any system is defined in laplace domain.


Sampling theorem: It is a bridge between continuous-analog signals and discrete-digital signals. Sampling theorem lies the foundation for my next coureses in discrete signal processing.
