Signals and Systems is an introduction to analog and digital signal processing, a topic that forms an integral part of engineering systems in many diverse areas, including seismic data processing, communications, speech processing, image processing, defense electronics, consumer electronics, and consumer products.
The course presents and integrates the basic concepts for both continuous-time and discrete-time signals and systems. Signal and system representations are developed for both time and frequency domains. These representations are related through the Fourier transform and its generalizations, which are explored in detail. Filtering and filter design, modulation, and sampling for both analog and digital systems, as well as exposition and demonstration of the basic concepts of feedback systems for both analog and digital systems, are discussed and illustrated.
It's quite different from the older Signals and Systems book, and it builds on the knowledge acquired through that or a similar basic signals and systems text. Some of the topics covered are state-space models, pulse-amplitude modulation, probabilistic models, random processes, estimation and detection.
So if your goal is to get a good basic knowledge of signals and systems, then I'd recommend either the older Signals and Systems text, or one of the many other similar books. Also take a look at the book recommendations on this site.
Topics covered: Course format and overview; Demonstration of a feedback system used to stabilize an inverted pendulum; Demonstration of digital signal processing used to remove distortions and background noise from a musical recording. Mathematical representation of signals and systems.
Because even part of \(\cos(4\pi t)u(t)\) is symmetrical abouty-axis, the signal is periodic and the fundamental period \(T\) satisfies\(4\pi T = 2\pi \). So the fundamental period is \(T = \frac12\)
Time invariant: A system is time invariant if the behavior and characteristicsof the system are fixed over time. Time invariance can be justified very simply.A system is time invariant if a time shift in the input signal results in anidentical time shift in the output signal.
In this problem, we illustrate one of the most important consequences of theproperties of linearity and time invariance. Specifically, once we know theresponse of a linear system or a linear time-invariant (LTI) system to asingle input or the response to several inputs, we can directly compute theresponse to many other input signals. Much of the remainder of this bookdeals with a thorough exploitation of this fact in order to develop resultsand techniques for analyzing and synthesizing LTI systems.
Signals and Systems, 2nd edition is designed for undergraduate courses in signals and systems. The book develops the method of analysis for continuous-time signals and systems in parallel with the method of analysis for discrete-time signals and systems. This approach highlights the similarities and differences, and features introductory treatments of the application of these basic methods in areas such as filtering, communication, sampling, discrete-time processing of continuous-times signals, and feedback. Relatively self-contained, the text assumes no prior experience with system analysis, convolution, Fourier analysis, or Laplace and z-transforms. A companion book, "Computer Explorations in Signals and Systems Using MATLAB", contains MATLAB exercises for each topic in this text.
and you compare (1) and (2), then you see that the Fourier coefficients of the signal \$y(t)\$ in your example are actually given by \$c_k=1/T\$ (for all \$k\$) with \$T=4\$, which differs from the coefficients \$b_k\$ in the example by a factor of 4. I'm not sure if this is a mistake in the book or if they use some other scaling. Anyway, I'll use the values of \$b_k\$ and \$c_k\$ as given in the example and I'll show how you can obtain \$z(t)\$. In order to get the factors right, I will use

Oppenheim and Eldar saw an analogy in the case of a signal so corrupted by noise that recovering all the information it originally contained is impossible. Quantum physics provided them with a new way to think about performing measurements on the signal, in order to extract information of high value.
This comprehensive exploration of signals and systems develops continuous-time and discrete-time concepts/methods in parallel -- highlighting the similarities and differences -- and features introductory treatments of the applications of these basic methods in such areas 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.
Much of what we do today, if we do it successfully, depends on the digital analysis and control of signals. Our computers, smart phones, video cameras, microwaves, GPS systems, all record and process discrete data signals. Without the signals, nothing works. Understanding those signals by mastering the relevant mathematics is essential for scientists and engineers to enable us to do what we do: make phone calls, play video games, record sounds and images, make and record transactions, fly aircraft, analyze big data . . .
6.341x is designed to provide both an in-depth and an intuitive understanding of the theory behind modern discrete-time signal processing systems and applications. The course begins with a review and extension of the basics of signal processing including a discussion of group delay and minimum-phase systems, and the use of discrete-time (DT) systems for processing of continuous-time (CT) signals. The course develops flow-graph and block diagram structures including lattice filters for implementing DT systems, and techniques for the design of DT filters. Parametric signal modeling and the efficient implementation of DT multirate and sampling rate conversion systems are discussed and developed. An in-depth development of the DFT and its computation as well as its use for spectral analysis and for filtering is presented. This component of the course includes a careful and insightful development of the relationship between the time-dependent Fourier transform and the use of filter banks for both spectral analysis and signal coding.

This book treats both continuous-time and discrete-time signals and systems, whereas this course deals almost exclusively with continuous-time signals. Students may generally ignore sections in the assigned reading on discrete-time systems. However, some of the explanations given in the continuous-time sections are given as analogies to or limits of the discrete-time cases, so students will have some familiarity with the discrete-time notation.
Table Organization
In this chapter we review some basic concepts in order to establish the notation used in the remainder of the book. In addition, we cover in more detail several specific topics that some readers may not be familiar with, including complex signals and systems, the convergence of bilateral Z-transforms, and signal space geometry. The latter allows simple geometric interpretation of many signal processing operations, and demonstrates relationships among many seemingly disparate topics.
