I've seen continuous time transforms before quite a few times, but they were in past classes. This class focuses more on discrete finite transforms, because those are used most often in practical applications. Also, thanks for the explanation of the variable "z."

Studying it from an EE perspective ;). I'm learning about filter design modeled by simple transfer functions in the Z-domain right now. I think I managed to figure out how the formula was derived from the your first post though, so thanks. Pretty sure that z = e^{jw} in that example from the book.

Alright, after seeing it for a few time in my courses, I am still confused on how to actually calculate this function. I know that the arg function describes the phase of a signal, and that's all fine and dandy, but I would like some sort of mathematical equation to calculate it. I know it has...

No, our professor said apparently the "standard" graph is supposed to be set on a scale of 50dB/decade, so I am assuming that for every decade on the x-axis, there needs to be 50dB on the y-axis. Maybe it is a standard in the speaker design industry or something.

Thanks for the welcome, and I will keep that in mind for future homework questions. :) I asked my TA, and he told me to use get spice and learn how to use it to get the frequency response. I managed to end up with a graph that looked correct when I compared it with some people in my class...

I am a junior at USC (SoCal). This is supposed to be a Junior/Senior class, with more seniors in the class. This stuff is supposed to be review, but I need to get a textbook first and brush up on some circuit analysis, since I haven't had to do much analysis in the frequency domain. Reducing...

Hi all, I have some HW that I am really having some trouble with, since the professor didn't really explain how to do the problem in class, and there is no textbook for this class (Loudspeaker and Sound System Design). This is the homework, and any help and explanation of how I should go...
