Signals and Systems Laboratory with MATLAB

Developed as a textbook for the laboratory part of the course Signals and Systems, this book introduces students to theory through analytical examples implemented in Matlab code. Thus every theoretical equation is accompanied by the corresponding code implementation. Instead of using big M-Files or author-written functions with comments, the commands are executed one-by-one at the Matlab command line and the results, dong with comments are given side-by side in two or three column tables. This is very helpful and popular to students in Electrical Engineering, since the nature of this course includes detailed mathematical derivations and demands a strong mathematical background.

Dr. Alex Palamides is with the European Space Agency, European Space Research and Technology Centre, Noordwijk, the Netherlands. He is the author/coauthor of several research contributions published in journals and for conferences, and he has authored one other textbook. His research interests lie in the areas of signal processing, dynamic systems, telecommunications, and differential equations. Professor Anastasia Veloni is with Technological Educational Institute of Piraeus, Department of Electronic Computer Systems, Athens, Greece. She has extensive educational experience in a variety of courses in the field of signals and systems. She is the author/coauthor of three other textbooks. Her research interests lie in the areas of signal processing, dynamic systems, and automatic control.
