Detailed description of topics:

  • The lectures are devided into blocks. Firstly fundamental definitions of system, signals are introduced for continuous and discrete time. The impuls response for linear, time invariant systems are introduced. The convolution property of signals (integral of Duhamel) is discussed extensively. Causality, stability, dynamics (memory), linearity, distributed vs. lumped properties are discussed.

  • In the second block of lectures mathematical descriptions of systems and signals are discussed. This contains Fourier-series of discrete and continuous time periodic signals, convergent criteria (Derichlet conditions).Fourier transforms of a-periodic and periodic signals and properties such as: linearity, symmetry, scaling in time and frequency, differentiation, integration and the Parseval's relation. The Laplace transform (one- and two-sided) is discussed.

  • The third block treats techniques and methods for graphical presentation of systems, such as: process-schematics, block diagrams, signal flow schematics, and Bode- and Nyquist diagrams. For the elementary systems (such as integrators, differentiators, first- and second order systems, systems with delay times) impuls response, frequency response, transfer functions and Bode- and Nyquist diagrams are derived..

  • Finally a block is spent at treating systems composed out of these elementary systems (feedforward and feedback systems). Techniques such as: Filtering and Sampling are treated.

Remarks (specific information about assesment, entry requirements, etc.):

  • Other hours: 2 hours examples, 1 week before exam. 1 hour discussion of exam, scoring and experienced difficulties, 1 day after exam has been taken.

  • Each year a new set-up of the lectures are considered.

  • Assessment: written, multiple choice, 20 questions with 5 alternatives eacht. One question can be motivated on a separate sheet. Motivation is used for rounding off in case just insufficient grading is obtained

Goals:

Basic understanding of (mechanical) systems and signals and the engineering techniques available for description.

Computer use:

Not yet considered but possible using MATLAB.
