Part II

Exploring the Time Domain

Find out how to verify your hand solutions to convolution problems by using PyLab and functions supplied in the Python module ssd.py at www.dummies.com/extras/signalsandsystems.

In this part . . .

Explore system models related to linear constant coefficient (LCC) differential equations and their cousins, the LCC difference equations.

Find out why engineers are so darn hot for the impulse response.

Dig into the convolution integral for continuous-time systems.

Find and use the convolution sum for discrete-time systems.

Discover the sinusoidal steady-state response for differential and difference equations.
