Signals & Systems

 Signal is a set of information or data which changes with time. Signal processing is a method of extracting information from signal by carrying out algorithmic operations on the signal. It is dependent on the type of signal and the nature of information it carries.

 Digital circuits are less sensitive to changes in component values, temperature, ageing and other external parameters.
Advantages: 1. Flexibility in reconfiguration of DSP operations 2. Accurate 3. Easy storage 4. Cost effective

Continuous-Time and Discrete-Time Signals Analog and Digital Signals Real and Complex Signals Deterministic and Random Signals Even and Odd Signals Periodic and aperiodic Signals Energy and Power Signals Causal, non-causal and anti-causal signals

Continuous-Time and Discrete-Time Signals

A signal x(t) is a continuous-time signal if t is a continuous variable. If t is a discrete variable, that is, x(t) is defined at discrete times, then x(t) is a discrete-time signal.

Analog and Digital Signals

An analog signal is a signal whose amplitude can take an infinite number of values. A digital signal is a signal whose amplitude can take on a finite number of values. An analog signal may be converted into digital signal through sampling and quantization (rounding off). Sampling an analog signals results in the sampled analog signal which can still take on any value in a continuous range. It is digitized by rounding off its value to one of the closest permissible numbers (or quantized levels).

 The amplitudes of the analog signal x(t) lie in the range of (-V, V). This range is partitioned into L-subintervals, each of magnitude:
2V v L

Each sample amplitude is approximated by the midpoint value of the subinterval in which the sample falls. Each samples are approximated to one of the L-numbers. Thus, the signal is digitized with quantized samples taking on any one of the L-values. Such a signal is known as L-ary signal.

Real and Complex Signals

A signal x(t) is a real signal if its value is a real number. A signal x(t) is a complex signal if its value is a complex number.

Deterministic and Random Signals

A signal whose physical description is known completely, either in a mathematical form or a graphical form is a deterministic signal. A signal whose values cannot be predicted precisely but are known only in terms of probabilistic description, such as mean, mean squared value and so on is a random signal.

Even and Odd Signals

Periodic and aperiodic Signals

A signal, x(t), is said to be periodic if for some positive constant, T0: x(t)= x(t+ T0); for all t Smallest value of T0 that satisfies the above condition is called period of x(t). A signal is aperiodic, if it does not follows the above equation.

 A signal with finite energy is an energy signal. A signal with finite and non-zero power is a power signal.

Energy and Power Signals

Energy Signal Total normalized energy is finite and non-zero. Aperiodic signals are energy signals These signals are timelimited Power of energy signal is zero

Power signal Total normalized power is finite and non-zero Periodic signals are power signals These signals can exist over infinite time Energy of the power signal is infinite

Causal, non-causal and anti-causal signals

A signal that does not start before t=0 is a causal signal. In other words, x(t) is a causal if: x(t)=0; for t< 0 A signal that starts before t=0 is a non-causal signal. A signal that is zero for all t0 is called an anticausal signal.

Useful signal operations

Time shifting Time scaling Time inversion (reversal) Combined operations

Combined operations
All the three operations are carried out simultaneously x(at-b) x(t) is time shifted by b: x(t-b) time scaling by a: x(at-b) Time scale x(t) by a: x(at) time shift x(at) by b/a (i.e. replace t with (t-b/a)) x[a(tb/a) =x(at-b) If a is negative: Time scaling involves time inversion

A system is said to be memoryless if the output at any time depends on only the input at that same time. Otherwise, the system is said to have memory.
