Sinusoidal Signals

A sinusoidal signal is of the form x(t) = cos(t + ). where the radian frequency is , which has the units of radians/s. Also very commonly written as x(t) = A cos(2ft + ). where f is the frequency in Hertz. We will often refer to as the frequency, but it must be kept in mind that it is really the radian frequency, and the frequency is actually f .

Formal properties

Formally we dene by the property that

f (t)(t) dt = f (0)

provided f is continuous at t = 0 idea: acts over a time interval very small, over which f (t) f (0) (t) is not really dened for any t, only its behavior in an integral. Conceptually (t) = 0 for t = 0, innite at t = 0, but this doesnt make sense mathematically.

Multiplication of a Function by an Impulse


Consider a function (x) multiplied by an impulse (t), (t)(t) If (t) is continuous at t = 0, can this be simplied? Substitute into the formal denition with a continuous f (t) and evaluate,

f (t) [(t)(t)] dt =

[f (t)(t)] (t) dt

= f (0)(0) Hence (t)(t) = (0)(t) is a scaled impulse, with strength (0).


Cu (Lecture 2) ELE 301: Signals and Systems Fall 2011-12 26 / 70

Sifting property

The signal x(t) = (t T ) is an impulse function with impulse at t = T. For f continuous at t = T ,


f (t)(t T ) dt = f (T )

Multiplying by a function f (t) by an impulse at time T and integrating, extracts the value of f (T ). This will be important in modeling sampling later in the course.

because the is within the limits. If a > 0 or b < 0, and a < b then

Physical interpretation
Impulse functions are used to model physical signals that act over short time intervals whose eect depends on integral of signal example: hammer blow, or bat hitting ball, at t = 2 force f acts on mass m between t = 1.999 sec and t = 2.001 sec
2.001 1.999 f (t)

blow induces change in velocity of v (2.001) v (1.999) =

dt = I (mechanical impulse, N sec) 1 m


2.001

f ( ) d = I /m
1.999

For most applications, model force as impulse at t = 2, with magnitude I .

v(t)

assuming v (0) = 0, what is v (t), i(t) for t > 0? i(t) is very large, for a very short time a unit charge is transferred to the capacitor almost instantaneously v (t) increases to v (t) = 1 almost instantaneously To calculate i, v , we need a more detailed model.
Cu (Lecture 2) ELE 301: Signals and Systems Fall 2011-12 31 / 70

For example, assume the current delivered by the source is limited: if v (t) < 1, the source acts as a current source i(t) = Imax

IMAX i(t)

As Imax , i approaches an impulse, v approaches a unit step


Cu (Lecture 2) ELE 301: Signals and Systems Fall 2011-12 32 / 70

In conclusion, large current i acts over very short time between t = 0 and total charge transfer is
0

i(t) dt = 1

resulting change in v (t) is v ( ) v (0) = 1 can approximate i as impulse at t = 0 with magnitude 1

Modeling current as impulse obscures details of current signal obscures details of voltage change during the rapid charging preserves total change in charge, voltage is reasonable model for time scales

Caveat
(t) is not a signal or function in the ordinary sense, it only makes mathematical sense when inside an integral sign We manipulate impulsive functions as if they were real functions, which they arent It is safe to use impulsive functions in expressions like

f (t)(t T ) dt,

f (t) (t T ) dt

provided f (resp, f ) is continuous at t = T . Some innocent looking expressions dont make any sense at all (e.g., (t)2 or (t 2 ))

A system transforms input signals into output signals. A system is a function mapping input signals into output signals. We will concentrate on systems with one input and one output i.e. single-input, single-output (SISO) systems. Notation:
y = Sx or y = S(x), meaning the system S acts on an input signal x to produce output signal y . y = Sx does not (in general) mean multiplication!

Linearity
A system F is linear if the following two properties hold:
1

homogeneity: if x is any signal and a is any scalar, F (ax) = aF (x)

superposition: if x and x are any two signals, F (x + x ) = F (x) + F () x

In words, linearity means: Scaling before or after the system is the same. Summing before or after the system is the same.

System Invertibility
A system is invertible if the input signal can be recovered from the output signal. If F is an invertible system, and y = Fx then there is an inverse system F INV such that x = F INV y = F INV Fx so F INV F = I , the identity operator.

Generally there will be multiple echoes. Multipath can be described by a system y = Fx If we transmit an impulse, we receive multiple delayed impulses. One transmitted message gives multiple overlapping messages We want to nd a system F INV that takes the multipath corrupted signal y and recovers x F INV y = F INV (Fx) = (F INV F ) x = x Often possible if we allow a delay in the output.

This is important because LCCODE systems are linear when initial conditions are all zero. Many systems can be described this way If we can describe a system this way, we know it is linear Note that an LCCODE gives an implicit description of a system. It describes how x(t), y (t), and their derivatives interrelate It doesnt give you an explicit solution for y (t) in terms of x(t) Soon well be able to explicitly express y (t) in terms of x(t)

x(t) is displacement of base; y (t) is displacement of mass spring force is k(x y ); damping force is b(x y ) Newtons equation is my = b(x y ) + k(x y ) Rewrite as second-order LCCODE my + by + ky = bx + kx This is a linear system.

Discrete-Time Systems

Many of the same block diagram elements Scaling and delay blocks common The system equations are dierence equations a0 y [n] + a1 y [n 1] + . . . = b0 x[n] + b1 x[n 1] + . . . where x[n] is the input, and y [n] is the output.

Delay by T

y[n]

The input into the delay is e[n] = x[n] ay [n] The output is y [n] = e[n 1], so y [n] = x[n 1] ay [n 1].

Questions

Are these systems linear? Time invariant? y (t) = x(t)

y (t) = x(t)z(t), where z(t) is a known function y (t) = x(at) y (t) = 0 y (t) = x(T t) A linear system F has an inverse system F inv . Is F inv linear?
