Continuous-time Signals
- Functions that vary continuously over time and are defined at every instant.
- Two main types of signals:
- Deterministic signals, which are precise and predictable in their behavior.
- Random signals, which are inherently unpredictable and described through probabilistic models.
- Common examples include sine waves, square waves, and exponential signals.
- Key properties:
- Periodicity: Signals that repeat at regular intervals.
- Amplitude: The maximum peak value of the signal.
- Frequency: The rate of oscillation, measured in cycles per second.
Discrete-time Signals
- Defined only at specific discrete time intervals.
- Sampling converts continuous signals into discrete form for analysis and representation.
- Typically represented using sequences, denoted as x[n].
- Types of discrete-time signals include:
- Periodic signals, which repeat at set intervals.
- Aperiodic signals, which do not have a repeating pattern.
- Practical examples encompass digital audio files and sampled images.
System Stability
- Refers to a system's capability to maintain a bounded output given a bounded input.
- Categories of stability include:
- BIBO (Bounded Input, Bounded Output) Stability.
- Asymptotic Stability, where the system's output stabilizes to an equilibrium state following disturbances.
- Conditions for stability:
- For continuous systems, the poles of the transfer function must be located in the left half of the s-plane.

Laplace Transform
- An integral transform used to convert a time-domain function into a corresponding function in the complex frequency domain.

Continuous-time Signals
- Functions of time that maintain continuity and can assume any value within a specified range.
- Deterministic Signals: Predictable and repeatable patterns, such as sine waves.

- Denoted as ( x[n] ), where ( n ) represents the integer sample index.
- Periodic Signals: Exhibit repetition at consistent intervals.
- Aperiodic Signals: Lack a repeating structure or pattern.
System Stability
- A system is considered stable if its output remains contained for any input that is also bounded.
- BIBO Stability (Bounded Input Bounded Output): Ensures every bounded input results in a bounded output.
- Internal Stability: Pertains to the system's internal states retaining boundedness.
- Methods for stability analysis include:
- Roots of Characteristic Equation: Examines the location of poles in the s-plane.
- Routh-Hurwitz Criterion: Assesses stability via the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial.
Laplace Transform
- A crucial integral transform for probing linear time-invariant systems.
- Defined mathematically as ( X(s) = \int_{0}^{\infty} x(t)e^{-st} dt ) with ( s ) as a complex variable.
- Key properties include:
- Linearity: Combines transformed outputs as ( aX_1(s) + bX_2(s) ), where ( a ) and ( b ) are constants.
- Time Shifting: If ( x(t) ) transforms to ( X(s) ), then ( x(t - t_0) ) transforms to ( e^{-st_0}X(s) ).
- Convolution: Time domain convolution translates into multiplication in the Laplace domain.
Fourier Analysis
- A technique for expressing signals as sums of sinusoidal components.
- Two primary forms exist:
- Fourier Series: Applicable to periodic signals; represents signals as a sum of sine and cosine functions.
- Fourier Transform: Suited for non-periodic signals, defined as ( X(f) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} x(t)e^{-j2\pi ft} dt ).
- Notable properties include:
- Linearity: Aligns with the properties of the Laplace Transform.
- Time and Frequency Shifting: Retains similar relationships found in the Laplace Transform.
