What is Systems?
The study of mathematical and engineering tools used
to analyze and implement engineering systems
• Communications
• Networks
• SignalProcessing
• Control
History
• A. G. Bell: scientist and inventor (telephone, Bell
Telephone Co., communication devices)
• T. Edison: inventor and businessman (electric light
bulb, power distribution systems, media inventions)
• H. Nyquist: engineer (stability of feedback
amplifiers, sampling theorem)
• C. Shannon: EE and mathematician (information
theory, communications, sampling theorem)
• J. Kilby: EE ( inventor of IC, precursor for
development of signal processors and DSP)
Communications
``Transfer and organization of information, of diverse
media types and formats, through communication
networks and channels ’’
IEEE Communications Society
Networks
``A computer network is a system for communication
among two or more computers.
• Computer networks may be categorized with respect to
range
• Computer network applications may be categorized with
respect to the functional relationships between components
• Computer networks may be categorized with respect to
network topologies
• Computer networks may be categorized with respect to
specialized functions’’
Wikipedia
Signal Processing
``The theory and application of
filtering, coding, transmitting, estimating, detecting,
analyzing, recognizing, synthesizing, recording, and
reproducing signals
by digital or analog devices or techniques.
“Signal" includes audio, video, speech, image,
communication, geophysical, sonar, radar, medical,
musical, and other signals’’
IEEE Signal Processing Society
Controls
``The theory, design and application of Control Systems.
It shall encompass components, and the integration of
these components, as are necessary for the
construction of such systems.
The word `systems' as used herein shall be interpreted to
include physical, biological, organizational and other
entities, and combinations thereof, which can be
represented through a mathematical symbolism’’

Recovery of Information Signals
Many physical processes modeled by random phenomena
• x(t) is input signal containing information.
• y(t) is signal corrupted by random noise, distortion from
channel, and interference from other information signals.
• z(t) is output signal that gets estimate of information x(t).

Receiver
z(t)
Receiver is designed using tools from probability,
systems, and communications to optimize desired
criteria (Signal to Noise Ratio, Probability of error)
