Linear and Time Invariant Systems

Based on the book "Signal Representation",  here it is described how to mathematically capture the influence of a filter on deterministic signals.

• The book defines distortions and describes the Laplace transform for causal systems as well as the properties of electric leads.

• The filter influence on a random signal is covered later in Chapter 5 of the book "Theory of Stochastic Signals".

Here first a  content overview  on the basis of the  four main chapters  with a total of  twelve individual chapters:

Contents

Basics of System Theory

• System Description in Frequency Domain
• System Description in Time Domain
• Some Low-Pass Functions in Systems Theory

Signal Distortion and Equalization

• Classification of the Distortions
• Nonlinear Distortions
• Linear Distortions

Description of Causal Realizable Systems

• Conclusions from the Allocation Theorem
• Laplace Transform and p-Transfer Function
• Inverse Laplace Transform

Properties of Electrical Cables

• Some Results from Line Transmission Theory
• Properties of Coaxial Cables
• Properties of Balanced Copper Pairs

In addition to these theory pages,  we also offer exercisess and multimedia modules on this topic,  which could help to clarify the teaching material:

• $\text{Exercises}$

• $\text{Learning videos}$

• $\text{Applets}$
