Master Signal and Systems: Explore Theory and Exercises with an Expert Book

AI Thread Summary
For studying signals and systems, a highly recommended book is "Signals and Systems" by Dorf, which covers essential topics like Fourier and Laplace transformations, along with practical exercises. Users emphasize the importance of having a book that provides clear theoretical explanations and includes solutions for exercises to facilitate self-checking. While some books may lack derivations for Fourier series, Dorf's text is noted for its comprehensive approach, including various circuit analyses. The discussion also mentions a specific book used at Delft University, which is descriptive but may require significant reading. Overall, selecting a resource that balances theory, exercises, and solutions is crucial for effective learning in this subject.

Hello i need some help with a postgradyuate lesson we have.
It is called signal and systems and basically starts with some introduction for signals and systems and after that basic principles we learn about Fourier and Laplace transformattions. Unfortunately i don't have any time at all to participate to that lesson. So i need u to suggest me a very good book so i can read theory and solve exercises
What i need is
Good explanation of theory
I want the book to have the necessary maths that i ll need to solve exercises. My mathematic level is so poor :(
Finally i need the book to have solutions for the exercises cause i want to be able to check if i am correct or not.
I don't care about sire or cost.

We use that too (Applied Physics, Delft University of Technology). It's quite descriptive with a lot of pictures. NIce but this means a lot of reading too. We didn't do too much exercises out of the book, so I don't know if they're any good...
 
I have a few different books on signals and systems and NONE derive Fourier series for you, sad as that is. I didn't actually learn where the dang thing came from until I started taking math minor courses. I guess my point is you might not find what you're looking for in an engineering book.
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
