About this ebook
The book starts with the various types of signals and operations on signals. It explains the classification of continuous time signals and systems. Then it includes the discussion of analogous systems. The book provides detailed discussion of Fourier transform representation, properties of Fourier transform and its applications to network analysis. The book also covers the Laplace transform, its properties and network analysis using Laplace transform with and without initial conditions.
The book provides the detailed explanation of modern approach of system analysis called the state variable analysis. It includes various methods of state space representation of systems, finding the state transition matrix and solution of state equation. The discussion of network topology is also included in the book.
The chapter on z-transform includes the properties of ROC, properties of z-transform, inverse z-transform, z-transform analysis of LTI systems and pulse transfer function. The state space representation of discrete systems is also incorporated in the book.
The book uses plain, simple and lucid language to explain each topic. The book provides the logical method of explaining the various complicated topics and stepwise methods to make the understanding easy. The variety of solved examples is the feature of this book. The book explains the philosophy of the subject which makes the understanding of the concepts very clear and makes the subject more interesting.

He was Professor and Head of Electronics Department at Bharati Vidyapeeth University College of Engineering, Pune. He has published more than 50 research papers in reputed national and international journals and conferences. He has guided more than 50 UG projects, 25 PG students, and 10 Ph.D. students at different universities. He has contributed to various academic committees in multiple universities. Reputed universities recommend many books authored by him.
Prof. Uday A. Bakshi graduated in Electrical Engineering with 4th rank from the University of Pune in 1989. He completed his M.E. (Controls) from the University of Pune.
After graduation, he started his career as Visiting Lecturer in Bharati Vidyapeeth's College of Engineering, Pune, and PVG's College of Engineering and Technology, Pune. Then he continued as a lecturer at Vishwakarma Institute of Technology (VIT), Pune.
While working in VIT, he introduced new concepts in teaching methods. He also introduced the concept of Quality Circle at the educational institute level. The Quality Circle, started by him at VIT, got recognition at the national level. While working in VIT, he conducted training programs in various industries like Bajaj Auto, Bharat Electronics, Cummins, etc. He developed many small models and projects in Electrical Department of VIT to teach engineering subjects concepts. At the same time, he published his first book on Feedback Control Systems which got an overwhelming response all over India.
After leaving VIT, he was Joint Director of Noble Institute of Computer Training, Pune. Due to his dedicated teaching and endless efforts, many students from this institute got admission to ranked U.S. universities with an assistantship.
After that, he started his coaching classes to impart thorough knowledge to the engineering students of various engineering subjects. Professor Bakshi simultaneously published many engineering books. The books written by him are recommended by multiple Indian and foreign universities in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. He has a total of 30 years of teaching and writing experience in the field of engineering.
His primary interest is to indoctrinate engineering subjects' psychology and make the topics easy to understand and enjoyable through his books to the engineering students.
