This document outlines a course on signals and systems. It begins with the course outcomes, which are to identify different signals and systems, apply concepts like impulse response and convolution, perform spectral analysis using Fourier transforms, analyze discrete-time signals using Z-transforms, and demonstrate skills in sampling and reconstructing signals. It then lists the textbook and an NPTEL course on the subject. The document proceeds to define what a signal and system are, provide examples, and discuss important applications in areas like communication, control, MEMS, remote sensing, and biomedical signal processing.
