- Complex Exponential and Sinusoidal Amplitude Modulation (You Can Hear the Music on the Amplitude Modulation Radio -Everclear) Systems with the general form $ y(t) = x(t)c(t) $ where $ c(t) $ is the carrier signal and $ x(t) $ is the modulating signal. The carrier signal has its amplitude multiplied (modulated) by the information-bearing modulating signal.

1. The Laplace Transform "Here I come to save the day!"
$ X(s) = \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}x(t)e^{-st}\, dt $
s is a complex number of the form $ \sigma + j\omega $ and if $ \sigma = 0 $ then this equation reduces to the Fourier Transform of $ x(t) $. Indeed, the LT can be viewed as the FT of the signal $ x(t)e^{-\sigma t} $ as follows:
$ \mathcal{F}\lbrace x(t)e^{-\sigma t} \rbrace = \mathcal{X}(\omega) = \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}x(t)e^{-\sigma t}e^{-j\omega t}\, dt $
2. The Region of Convergence for Laplace Transforms (To Infinity or Converge!)
3. The Inverse Laplace Transform
$ x(t) = \frac{1}{2\pi}\int_{\sigma - j\infty}^{\sigma + j\infty} X(s)e^{st}\,ds $
for values of $ s = \sigma + j\omega $ in the ROC. The formal evaluation of the integral requires contour integration in the complex plane which is beyond the scope of this course.
- 3.1 The Laplace Transforms we will consider will fall into several categories that can be inverted using tables.
- $ X(s) = \sum_{i=1}^{m} \frac{A_i}{s+a_i} $

Table of Properties
| Property | Signal | Laplace Transform | ROC |
| Linearity | $ ax_1(t) + bx_2(t) $ | $ aX_1(s)+bX_2(s) $ | At least $ R_1 \cap R_2 $ |
| Time Shifting | $ x(t-t_0) $ | $ e^{-st_0}X(s) $ | R |
| Shifting in the s-Domain | $ e^{s_0 t}x(t) $ | $ X(s-s_0) $ | |
| Time scaling | $ x(at) $ | $ \frac{1}{|a|}X\Bigg( \frac{s}{a} \Bigg) $ | |
| Conjugation | $ x^{*}(t) $ | $ X^{*}(s^{*}) $ | |
| Convolution | $ x_1(t)*x_2(t) $ | $ X_1(s)X_2(s) $ | |
| Differentiation in the Time Domain | $ \frac{d}{dt}x(t) $ | $ sX(s) $ | |
| Differentiation in the s-Domain | $ -tx(t) $ | $ \frac{d}{ds}X(s) $ | |
| Integration in the Time Domain | $ \int_{-\infty}^{t}x(\tau)\,d\tau $ | $ \frac{1}{s}X(s) $ | |
Initial- and Final-Value Theorem
If $ x(t) = 0 $ for t < 0 and $ x(t) $ contains no impulses or higher-order singularities at t = 0, then $ x(0^{+}) = \lim_{x\rightarrow \infty} sX(s) $ | |||
