Signals & Systems (2nd Edition)

Signals and Systems (Second Edition) By Alan V. Oppenheim and Alan S. Willsky, with S. Hamid Nawab

This comprehensive exploration of signals and systems develops continuous-time and discrete-time concepts and methods in parallel, deliberately highlighting the similarities and differences between them, and features introductory treatments of the applications of these basic methods in areas such as filtering, communication, sampling, discrete-time processing of continuous-time signals, and feedback. Relatively self-contained, the text assumes no prior experience with system analysis, convolution, Fourier analysis, or Laplace and z-transforms, building each concept up from first principles. This second edition improves the balance between exercises that develop basic skills and those that pursue more advanced problem-solving, organizing chapter-end problems into four distinct types — Basic Problems with Answers, Basic Problems, Advanced Problems, and Extension Problems — making it easier for readers to locate the problems that best serve their purposes, whether they want immediate feedback or a deeper challenge.

Topics commonly covered include:

• Signals and systems fundamentals

• Linear time-invariant systems and convolution

• Fourier series representation of periodic signals

• The continuous-time and discrete-time Fourier transform

• Sampling

• Communication systems

• The Laplace transform

• The z-transform

• Feedback systems

Key features:

• Four-tier chapter-end problem structure (Basic with Answers, Basic, Advanced, Extension)

• Parallel treatment of continuous-time and discrete-time concepts throughout

• Self-contained approach assuming no prior systems/transforms background

• Long-standing status as a cornerstone text in the Prentice-Hall Signal Processing Series

• Widely used foundational reference across decades of electrical engineering curricula

Perfect for:

• Undergraduate electrical engineering students taking their first signals and systems course

• Students building the transform and convolution foundation needed for later DSP or communications courses

• Self-learners with no prior systems analysis background

• Faculty teaching a parallel continuous/discrete-time signals and systems course
