Learning Signal & System: Books to Get Started

AI Thread Summary
For those studying signal and systems in electronic engineering, several recommended textbooks include "Signals and Systems" by Oppenheim, Willsky, and Nawab, and "Linear Systems and Signals" by B. P. Lathi, which is praised for its approachable style and practical examples. "Electronic Communications: Principles and Systems" by Stanley & Jeffords and "Signals and Systems using the Web and Matlab" by Kamen and Heck are also suggested, though the latter may be more technically challenging. A solid mathematical foundation, including calculus and differential equations, is advised for better comprehension of the material. Overall, these resources provide a strong starting point for mastering signal and systems concepts.

Assuming you have a basic college math/physics background, you should definitely have a look at Signals and Systems by Oppenheim, Wilksy and Nawab.

Electronic Communications: Principles and Systems, Stanley & Jeffords.

CS
 
Signals and Systems.
Poularikas and Seely.
 
I use "Signals and Systems using the Web and Matlab" by Kamen and Heck. Its quite technically written (for me anyway) but seems to cover a lot of important material.

I highly recommend "Linear Systems and Signals" by B. P. Lathi . The author really talks to you as a student and does not introduce concepts without letting you know where he is going, and he does this in the most down to Earth manner. Furthermore, he has great examples that are related to the material covered in the chapter. I also like the fact that MATLAB code is also introduced. IMHO, this book should be a keeper for anyone studying signals and systems. Lathi along with Oppenheim and you can't go wrong. Of course you should have the necessary mathematical background such as calc I-III, differential equations, and linear algebra. A year of calculus based physics would also be helpful but is not required.
 
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
