The main objective of the Signals and Systems course is to provide the students with the basics on the mathematical theory of signals and systems, sucha as: Concepts and properties of signals and systems, Linear time-invariant systems (LTI), Laplace transform, Fourier transform, Z transform, Discrete Fourier Transform, time-domain analysis, frequency-domain analysis and system transfer function. A parallel objective is to introduce the students to Matlab, which is the main tool for the laboratories. This course is a fundamental building block for more advanced subjects such as Telecommunictions, Computer Vision, Image Processing and System modeling.

Objectives
Objectives
Knowledge: Concepts and properties of signals and systems, focusing on linear time-invariant systems (LTI), Laplace Transform, Fourier Transform, Z Transform, Discrete Fourier Transform, time-domain system analysis, frequency-domain system analysis. Skills: Analysis of linear time-invariant (LIT) systems, using the tools provided by the Laplace Transform, Fourier Transform and Z Transform. From a theoretical point of view, the analysis is done using the mathematical tools, and from the practical point of view, using the software Matlab. Competences: Analysis and Synthesis of signals using the mathematical tools that transform signals and systems into space S, into frequency domain and analysis in the time-domain as well.

A nota de avaliação contínua corresponderá à média ponderada, arredondada para a decima, das notas dos testes escritos e dos trabalhos de acordo coma
seguinte ponderação: 10% para cada trabalho prático, 30,00% para o primeiro teste e 50% para o segundo teste. Caso o aluno não aprove nas frequências, haverá um Exame de recurso. Para obter aprovação na disciplina a nota mínima média dos testes é 9 valores e a nota mínima média dos trabalhos é 9 valores. Cada trabalho de laboratório tem uma sessão de discussão oral, com uma ponderação de 55% na nota de cada trabalho de laboratório.
