Aim of the Course

To recognize various signal forms and methods for their description and processing. To acquire basic knowledge about systems theory, which enables systematic analysis and design of the systems. To learn about the use of modern computer tools for systems analysis and simulation. To present the implementation of basic systems theory into systematic solutions for analysis and design of electric circuits and filters.
