Study Notes
Signals and Systems
- Signals can be represented in the time domain or the frequency domain.
- All electronic signals can be visualized using two methods: time domain and frequency domain.
Time Domain
- The time domain represents how a signal varies over time.
- The most common visualization tool is an oscilloscope, showing voltage variations (y-axis) against time (x-axis).
Frequency Domain
- The frequency domain shows how a signal's components vary with frequency.
- A spectrum analyzer is a common tool used to visualize signals in the frequency domain.
- The frequency domain representation is also called the spectrum of the signal.
Fourier Transform for Non-Periodic Signals
- The continuous time Fourier transform (CTFT) generalizes the Fourier series for continuous-time aperiodic signals.
- CTFT transforms a signal from time domain to frequency domain.
- Formulas for calculating forward and inverse transforms are given.
