Signal Processing and Linear Systems

Signal Processing and Linear Systems presents a thorough exploration of signal processing and linear systems, designed for advanced undergraduate students in electrical engineering. This volume, authored by B. P. Lathi, builds on the legacy of his earlier work and extends its reach to include relevant applications in communications, controls, and filtering. The book introduces new chapters that delve into analog and digital filters as well as digital signal processing, providing readers with up-to-date insights into these critical areas. With an emphasis on developing a tangible understanding of complex concepts, Lathi uses mathematics as a tool to illuminate the physical principles behind the theory rather than relying solely on formal proofs. Enriched with practical examples and well-chosen analogies, this text encourages students to discover and appreciate the intuitive aspects of signal processing. It remains an indispensable resource for anyone looking to master both the theoretical and practical dimensions of linear systems.
