- Page numbers are included for each topic.
Overview of System Properties
- Characteristics of systems involve the number of inputs and outputs, stability, and causality.
- Systems are classified as Single Input Single Output (SISO), Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO), Single Input Multiple Output (SIMO), and Multiple Input Single Output (MISO).
- Examples include Cruise control (car) and cell phones (speech conversion to radio signals).
Stability
- A system is stable if a bounded input produces a bounded output.
- Cruise control is an example of a stable system, while an uncontrolled car accelerating without bound is an unstable system.
Causality
- A causal system's output at a time t depends only on the input values up to that time t.
- Image processing is an example of a causal system; predicting future events is a non-causal system.
Linearity
- A system is linear if it satisfies the properties of homogeneity and additivity.
- Linearity is an important concept in signal and system analysis. Homogeneity means output is scaled proportionally to input scaling; additivity means the output of a sum of inputs is the sum of the individual outputs.
Time Invariance
- A time-invariant system's response to a shifted input is the shifted response.
- The principle of superposition holds for linear time-invariant (LTI) systems.
Signal Operations
- Scaling: Multiplying a signal by a constant.
- Addition: Adding two or more signals together.
- Time shifting: Shifting a signal in time.
Signals: Unit Step and Delta
- The unit step function is used to represent the sudden onset of a signal. it is 0 for t<0 and 1 for t>0
- The delta function (impulse function) represents an infinitely tall and thin pulse with unit area.
Euler's Formula and Trigonometry
- Euler's formula establishes a relationship between exponential functions and trigonometric functions.
- Cosine and sine functions are defined using the coordinates on the unit circle.
The Complex Plane
- Complex numbers can be visualized as points in a Cartesian coordinate system.
- The complex conjugate of a number is obtained by changing the sign of its imaginary component.
- The length squared of a complex number is the product of the number and its conjugate, which is always a real number.
Euler's Formula
- Euler's formula relates the exponential function to the trigonometric functions cosine and sine.
Trigonometric Identities
- Trigonometric identities are derived from Euler's formula.
- These relate trigonometric functions of sums and differences of angles to their individual angles.
Trigonometric and Exponential Signals
- Sinusoids are periodic functions that can be expressed in terms of cosine and sine functions.
- Exponential signals, such as e^at are used to model various physical phenomena.
Periodic Signals
- A signal is periodic if it repeats itself after a fixed period (τ).
- Properties of periodicity are discussed.
Even and Odd Signals
- Even signals are symmetric about the vertical axis (t = 0).
- Odd signals are antisymmetric about the vertical axis (t = 0).
Energy and Power Signals
- Energy signals have finite energy.
- Power signals have finite average power.
Linearity: Definition
- A system is linear if it satisfies homogeneity and additivity.
- Demonstrates how to check if a system is linear.
Linearity: Examples
- Shows how to determine if a system is linear, with examples showing a system that is linear (a gain of two) and a system that is non-linear (a squarer).
Time Invariance: Conceptual
- A time-invariant system's response to a shifted input is the shifted response. This concept is analyzed using graphs.
Time Invariance: Mathematics
- The example shows how to check if a system is or is not time invariant based on inputs and corresponding outputs
System Stability
- Bounded-Input Bounded-Output (BIBO) Stability: A system is stable if a bounded input produces a bounded output. This is analyzed using gain.
System State
- Systems can have memory, that is to say their output at time t depends on the past. Information about the state of a system gives relevant information about the system’s output.
- State variables are associated with memory elements in a system. Examples of state variables are capacitor voltage and inductor current in electrical circuits; position and velocity in mechanical systems
Characterization of System Response
- Response of a system to a unit step input is investigated in the context of stability
- Steady state error and settling time are discussed as metrics for response stability
Linear Time Invariant (LTI) Systems
- LTI systems are important in signal processing.
- The impulse response completely characterizes the system.
Impulse Response and Convolution
- The output of an LTI system is the convolution of the input and the impulse response.
Convolution Examples
- Example showing convolution of unit step with exponential functions, two rectangular pulses and Triangle with Rectangle Functions are illustrated
Fourier Series
- Fourier series decomposes periodic functions into a sum of sinusoidal waves (harmonics). Describes how to find the coefficients of the functions
Fourier Transform
- The Fourier transform converts a function of time into a function of frequency and vice-versa. Explains derivation and application of the Fourier Transform.
Fourier Transform Examples
- Illustrates transforms of various functions, including rectangular pulses, the delta function and ejwot.
Fourier Transform: Symmetry Property
- Describes how the transform is symmetric for real-valued functions
Fourier Transform: Scaling, Shifting and Convolution Properties
- Relates properties to scaling, shifting and convolution for Fourier Transforms
Parseval's Relation
- Shows that the energy in a signal can be calculated from either the time domain integral or the frequency domain integral.
Sampling
- Discusses uniform quantization.
- A minimum sampling frequency (Nyquist rate) is required to avoid aliasing. Describes the minimum sample rate and discusses a sampling example
- Sampling theorem is explained, and applies to continuous signals.
Quantization
- Quantization is the process of rounding real-valued signals to a discrete set of values (a finite number of levels) based on bit resolution
- Discusses uniform uniform quantization and quantizer map.
- Analyzing quantization noise (error) introduced by quantization.
- Provides examples of quantization techniques and evaluating their error rates.
