focused primarily on time domain techniques especially with transient signals e g impulse response The primary focus for the next few weeks will be frequency domain techniques e g frequency response which concern eternal signals November 3 2009 Fourier Series Harmonics Today Fourier series represent signals in terms of sinusoids Representing signals by the amplitudes and phases of harmonic
