SYSTEM
1.1. Understand the concept and theory of Signals
and System
1.1.1 Explain signals and system
 Signal :
A signal is a function representing a physical quantity or variable &
typically it contains information about the behavior or nature of the
phenomena. A signal is represented as a function of an independent
variable t, x(t).

 System
A system is a mathematical model of a physical process that relates
the input (or excitation) signal to the output (or response) signal.
y = Tx
1.1.2 Describe the following classification of signals with the
aid of suitable diagrams/graph:

 Continuous-Time & 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, a discrete-time signal is often identified as a
sequence of numbers, x[n], where n = integer.
Continuous-Time : Discrete - Time
 Analog & Digital Signals :
If a continuous-time signal x(t) can take on any value in the continuous
interval (a,b), where a may be -∞ and b may be +∞, then continuous-
time signal x(t) is called an analog signal. If a discrete-time signal x[n]
can take on only a finite number of distinct values, then we call this
signal a digital signal.
 Real & 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. A general complex
signal x(t) is a function of the form x(t) = x1(t) + jx2(t) where x1(t) & x2(t)
are real signals & j = -1
 Deterministic & Random Signals :
Deterministic signals are completely specified for any given time.
Random signals are those signals that take random values at any given
time & must be characterized statistically.
 Even & Odd Signals :
A signal x(t) or x[n] is referred to as an even signal if

A signal x(t) or x[n] is referred to as an odd signal if


Even :

Odd :
 Periodic & Nonperiodic Signals :
A continuous-time signal x(t) is said to be periodic with period T if
there is a positive nonzero value of T for which
X(t + T) = x(t) all t

Any continuous-time signal which is not periodic is called a nonperiodic


signal
