Signal Representation

The book focuses on the mathematical description of typical signals in communications engineering, which can alternatively be in the time or frequency domain.

• The spectral transformations which are exclusively applicable to causal signals and systems are not treated in this book
      (for example:  Laplace transform,  Z-transform,  Hilbert transform).
• Here we refer to the book $\text{Linear and Time Invariant Systems}$ .

The subject matter corresponds to a  $\text{lecture with two semester hours per week (SWS) and one additional SWS exercise}$.

Here is a table of contents based on the  $\text{five main chapters}$  with a total of  $\text{19 individual chapters}$.
