This unit (NEE2201) treats both transient and steady-state analysis of linear time-invariant systems by using Fourier and Laplace transform methods. In addition to periodic signals, signals represented by singularity function will also be included as forcing functions. The application of system concepts, which include transfer functions, poles and zeros, frequency response functions, and state variables, will be emphasised.
