Overview of
Introduction to Signals, Circuits & Systems
This textbook takes on a different, systems-oriented approach, which focuses on fundamental concepts and their applications in everyday systems that all our students are likely to be very familiar with. In the first part of the book, we focus on fundamentals of periodic signals in both time and frequency domains and apply these concepts to simple circuits. The depth of our coverage is carefully limited to topics that are absolutely needed to understand signals and basic circuit analysis. On purpose, we stay away from techniques developed to methodically analyze larger circuits. We also stay away from topics that the students cannot easily connect to their former life experiences. In the second part of the book, these fundamental concepts are applied to complete systems such as audio amplifiers, filters and radios. Here, our focus is primarily on manipulation of signals, which we can broadly refer to as analog signal processing. In these chapters, we are mainly concerned with input/output relationships of these systems and their specifications. The systems not only serve as exciting, real-life platforms for the fundamental concepts but they also provide the opportunity to introduce new concepts on demand with new applications. The book concludes with a comprehensive chapter on operational amplifiers, which provides the students the background to actually design and build some of the systems they studied in earlier chapters.
About the Author
Mehmet C Ozturk
Mehmet C. Öztürk received his B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Boğaziçi University, Istanbul, Turkey, in 1980, and his M.S. degree also in Electrical Engineering from Michigan Technological University, Houghton, MI, USA, in 1983. He continued his graduate studies at North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC, USA, under Prof. Jimmie J. Wortman receiving his Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering in 1988. After graduation, he joined the faculty in his department, where he is currently serving as a professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
Prof. Öztürk’s research interests center around semiconductors and advanced materials and processes for new devices. His early work focused on novel processes for advanced CMOS integrated circuits with emphasis on applications of Group IV epitaxy (Si, Si1-xGex and Si1-xCx) in channel and source/drain engineering and self-aligned silicide/germanosilicide contacts to ultra-shallow source/drain junctions. He was first to propose the use selective Si1-xGex in nanoscale CMOS source/drain engineering and first to demonstrate source/drain junctions with in-situ doped recessed Si1-xGex, which later became a standard process in advanced CMOS. His current research interests center around flexible electronics with emphasis on flexible thermoelectric devices that harvest body heat to create self-powered wearables. Prof. Ozturk was named a fellow of IEEE in 2009 for his contributions to Group IV epitaxy in CMOS integrated circuits.
In 2000, Prof. Ozturk has led the departmental effort that resulted in the creation of “Introduction to Signals, Circuits and Systems” as the flagship course of a new curriculum at NC State.
