EET 315Linear and Discrete System Analysis

3 credits · Electrical Engineering Technology · Penn State

Introduction to the principles and operation of linear and discrete systems. EET 315 Linear and Discrete System Analysis (3) Linear and Discrete System Analysis is a required course for junior-level students in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology (ECET) baccalaureate degree program. The purpose of the course is to introduce the students to linear system analysis, primarily using Laplace transforms. Students learn the concept of a transfer function, and are able to analyze both the transient and steady state response of a system. Students then learn about discrete time systems, including z-transforms, difference equations, and basic digital filters. Laboratory exercises reinforce concepts developed in lecture.
