Signals and Systems

by Alan V. Oppenheim, Alan S. Willsky, S. Hamid Nawab

For undergraduate-level courses in Signals and Systems. This comprehensive exploration of signals and systems develops continuous-time and discrete-time concepts/methods in parallel -- highlighting the similarities and differences -- and features introductory treatments of the applications of these basic methods in such areas as filtering, communication, sampling, discrete-time processing of continuous-time signals, and feedback. Relatively self-contained, the text assumes no prior experience with system analysis, convolution, Fourier analysis, or Laplace and z-transforms.

Genres: Textbooks, Engineering, Reference, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Technical, Computer Science

987 pages, Hardcover

First published June 1, 1982

این کتاب یه کتاب درسی رشته برقه و طبعن بنا نیس همه کتابای درسیمو اینجا ذکر کنم. منتها استثنائن این یکی رو میکنم. چون قطعن زیباترین درسی بوده که توی تمام سالهای تحصیلم گذروندم. اگه فقط به یه دلیل خوشحال باشم که ریاضیات بلد م، اون اینه که میتونستم این کتابو بخونم.
این یه کتاب فلسفی نیست ولی به شدّت به خواننده ش دید میده. جهانو یه جور دیگه میبینیم بعدش. خلاصه که ریاضیات هم میتونه شاعرانه و عمیق باشه.

Well, it's not as embracing in terms of theory as some other books on the same subject, but its text is very concise, and at least I couldn't find any errors on any of the examples, so I would say that you can take every word of this book very seriously. There's also a series of videos recorded in a professional studio, where the author gives lectures about the contents of the book's chapters that you can find easily on youtube. It's not the best book you'll find, but it's definatly worth trying.

One of the best books in the field of signal processing. Recommended for the undergraduate students.

[Daniel Leitão · Rating 5 out of 5]

Only book that I read top to bottom in college, best intuitive demos of the general complex form of the Fourier Transforms as the baseline for all signals and systems theory. Good bridge to Control Theory and Telecom!

[Brain · Rating 3 out of 5]

Don’t expect to read this book and complete the MIT open course without extensive knowledge in calculus, physics and engineering. I was perplexed with problems at the end of the chapter not ever addressed in the text. I’ll keep it and maybe complete the course at a later date, but wasn’t impressed with it’s curriculum development.

I tend to rate 3 to 5 stars as I don’t bother with books that aren’t acceptable to the subject. 3 stars means it is a good book, but there are better treatments of the subject matter or contains structural problems in the text. 4 stars means the book is great and I use it regularly in projects/research. 5 stars is reserved for top 10-20% on a given shelf that abstracted a particularly difficult idea in an easy to understand manner (i.e. it blew my mind) or I have a hard time completing my work without it.

Oppenheim gives a thorough treatment of Fourier analysis in both discrete and continuous fields, but sometimes does it in a unnecessarily verbose manner. Still possible to learn most important concepts from this book.

This is some serious gourmet shit. Lacks every last bit of comprehension so much that I sometimes think it's done on purpose.

depresif, insanı hayattan soğutan, düşüncelere boğan, karışık bir anlatımı var. işlediği konu gerçeklikten çok uzak convolution integralleri ve fourier transformasyonlarının gerçek hayatta anlamlı bir yeri yok hepsi kafamızda kurduğumuz işlemler. biçem olarak da çok zayıf ve karaktersiz, yazar kitaba kendinden bir şey katmamış sadece belirli yerlerde dördüncü duvarı yıkıp okuyucuya sesleniyor bunun ne kadar faydalı olduğu da tartışılır, hikaye akışını bozmaktan başka bir amaca hizmet etmediğini düşünüyorum. tam dirac delta fonksiyonunun integralinin neden bir olduğuyla ilgili muazzam eğlenceli ve ilgi çekici bir kısmı okurken bam diye araya girip odağı bambaşka bir yere çekiyor ve sinyallerinin o büyülü dünyasından uzaklaşıyorum. kısaca oppenheim kötü bir hikaye anlatıcısı atom bombasını yaptıktan sonra emekli olmalıydı yazarlık onun bareminin çok üstünde kalmış... bu yıl okuduğum en kötü şey ama görünen o ki bahar döneminde tekrar okuyacağım. puanım 1/10

[Ahmed Atif Abrar · Rating 4 out of 5]

The best book on this course. Professor Alan Oppenheim's video lectures delivered on 1987 at MIT along with this book is the quintessence of how to write a book and how to deliver lectures; delineate concepts on and about signals and system. None has ever since been able to push the envelope.
But as the years progressed, more possible visual interpretation with graphs and images, especially on convolution and impulse function, can be added.
Applications of Fourier Series, Fourier Transform and Laplace Transform in circuits could be demonstrated more vividly.

[Karam L Dali · Rating 5 out of 5]

The book will give you the complete view of the different concepts and will connect them well, when you finish reading you will get the full understanding by practical examples in communication systems or control systems , and I really liked how he explained the root locus method.
Will be better for you if you watch signals and systems lectures on MIT OCW by prof. Alan along with this book.

[Dr. Sina · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely the best informative and eye-opening textbook on this subject ever written. A must read for anyone merely interested in truly grasping the concept of abstraction in terms of signals and systems. Officially, I am a doctor of medicine, M.D, by education, but I am grateful that I've ever had a chance to read this book and understand it.

[Abhishek K · Rating 4 out of 5]

It is a very hard book, with lots of Calculus, and overall a very concise book.
Not for beginners, and should be coupled with MIT OpenCourse Signals And Systems MOOC.
A Building Block of Digital Signal Processing.

Note:
There should be some prerequisite prescribed by your professor, before touching it.
OR
Read only when prescribed by your professor.

[Orso · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very nice book for those who need to study signals and systems from scratch, for engineering courses. Very clear explanations and many exercises will help you understand the power of this topic in the modern technologic era.

[Mo · Rating 4 out of 5]

Useful. The first edition typeset degraded the readability, the the 2nd edition vastly improved that aspect.

Very thorough, and visually instructional with all the diagrams to complement the math (not a hallmark of all texts at that time).
