Study Notes
Analog-to-Digital Conversion
- Purpose is to process analog signals using digital techniques.
- Involves converting signals for better manipulation, storage, and transmission.
Sampling Concepts
- Time interval between successive samples is known as the sampling period.
- Formula for sampling period in seconds is T = 1/Fs, where Fs is the sampling frequency.
Signal Types
- Deterministic signals can be mathematically described with precise rules.
- Random signals, like the output of a noise generator, exhibit unpredictability.
- Digital signals have discrete values, distinguishing them from continuous-valued signals which can assume any value in a range.
Characteristics of Signals
- A discrete-time signal takes on specific, discrete values.
- Deterministic signals are characterized by predictability and can often be represented mathematically.
- Continuous-valued signals can take any value within a defined range.
Sinusoidal Signals
- The fundamental period of a sinusoidal signal is calculated as T = 1/F.
Digital Signal Processing
- Signals in digital signal processing are physical quantities that vary with time or space.
- A digital-to-analog (D/A) converter is used to convert digital signals back to analog form.
Signal Representation
- The z-transform represents discrete-time signals as an infinite power series, with X(z) representing the complex plane representation of the time-domain signal x[n].
Inverse z-Transform
- The process to recover the original signal from its z-transform is called the inverse z-transform.
- Power series expansion is a method for evaluating the inverse z-transform, involving series of terms in variables z and z^(-1).
Causal Signals
- Causal signals have certain conditions tied to their region of convergence (ROC), specifically that it must be |z| > |a|.
- Causal signals can have the same z-transform expression as their anti-causal equivalents.
Important Relations
- X(z) is the z-transform of the discrete-time signal x[n], establishing a link between the time and frequency domains.
