    Study Notes

    Introduction to Signals and Systems

    • A signal is a function representing a physical quantity or variable that typically contains information about a phenomenon's behavior or nature.
    • Examples include patterns of variation over time in voltages (e.g., source and capacitor voltages), applied force, and resulting automobile velocity.

    What is a Signal (Mathematical Definition)

    • A signal is a function of one or more dependent variables.
    • Examples include acoustic pressure as a function of time (speech signals) and brightness as a function of spatial variables (images).
    • Signals are mathematically represented as f(x1, x2, x3..., xn), where f is the dependent variable and x1, x2, x3, ..., xn are independent variables.

    Classification of Signals

    Continuous Time (CT) and Discrete Time (DT) Signals

    • CT signals have a continuous independent variable, typically time (t). The signal is defined for a continuum of values of the independent variable.
    • DT signals have a discrete independent variable, typically represented as n. The signal is defined only at discrete points in time.

    Analog and Digital Signals

    • Analog signals can take on any value within a continuous interval.
    • Digital signals can only take on a finite number of distinct values.

    Real and Complex Signals

    • Real signals have real-valued outputs.
    • Complex signals have complex-valued outputs, usually expressed as a sum of real and imaginary components.

    Deterministic and Random Signals

    • Deterministic signals have no uncertainty and can be predicted at any given time. The amplitude can be computed mathematically.
    • Random signals (non-deterministic signals) exhibit uncertainty and cannot be predicted in advance; their behavior is unpredictable and irregular.

    Even and Odd Signals

    • Even signal (x(t) or x[n]): x(t) = x(-t) or x[n] = x[-n]
    • Odd signal (x(t) or x[n]): x(t) = -x(-t) or x[n] = -x[-n]

    Periodic and Non-Periodic Signals

    • Periodic signals: A signal x(t) is periodic with period T if x(t + T) = x(t) for all t. The fundamental period (T0) is the smallest positive value of T that satisfies this condition. This also applies to discrete-time signals (x[n]).
    • Non-periodic/aperiodic signals: Signals that do not repeat their pattern consistently over time.

    Energy and Power Signals

    • Signals can be classified based on their energy (E) or average power (P).
    • Energy Signals: 0 < E < ∞ and P = 0.
    • Power Signals: 0 < P < ∞ and E = ∞.

    Basic Continuous-Time Signals

    Unit Step Function (u(t))

    • The unit step function is also known as the Heaviside unit function. Defined as u(t) = 1 for t > 0 and 0 for t < 0.
    • It represents a sharp change or transition.

    Unit Impulse Function (δ(t))

    • Also known as the Dirac delta function, plays a central role in system analysis.
    • It is a very narrow pulse with unit area and zero value everywhere except t = 0.
