Digital Signals and Systems

This chapter discusses important concepts of digital signals and systems, including stability, causality, linear time-invariant systems, convolution, and auto- and cross-correlation functions. It also introduces representation of signals in the frequency and time domains, and covers analog-to-digital conversion (sampling) and digital-to-analog conversion (reconstruction). A signal can be represented in both the time and frequency domains, which may be either continuous or discrete. A discrete time signal is represented by a set of quantized analog voltages sampled at instances in time. A discrete signal can be represented by a data sequence x(n) where n is an integer sample number.

In this chapt er we di scuss i mport ant concept s of digital signals and

The r epr esent at i on of signals in t he frequency and time domai ns is al so
i nt roduced. Fi nal l y, analog-to-digital conver si on (sampling) and digital-
t o-anal og conver si on (reconst ruct i on) are also cover ed.
