Lecture-2-Signal Transformations

This document discusses various signal transformations including time shifting, time reversal, time scaling, and signal weighting. Time shifting involves shifting the independent variable to delay or advance a signal in time. Time reversal rotates the signal by 180 degrees about the vertical axis. Time scaling expands or compresses a signal in time by modifying the independent variable. Signal weighting amplifies or attenuates a signal by scaling the dependent variable. These transformations can be applied to both continuous and discrete time signals.

SIGNAL

TRANSFORMATIONS
Time Shifting
➢ Shifting the Independent variable such that x(t-to)

➢ Right Shift if to > 0, means the signal is delayed

➢ In other words, if we start moving on the time axis in the


direction of increasing time, that is from left to right, x(t) will
come first than x(t-to)

➢ Left Shift if to < 0, means the signal is advanced

➢ In other words, if we start moving on the time axis in the


direction of increasing time, that is from left to right, x(t) will
come later than x(t+to)
Time Shifting
Time Shifting
➢ Discrete Time

➢ x[n-no]:

➢ Right Shift if:


no > 0

➢ Left Shift if:


no < 0
Time Reversal
➢ Reversing the
Independent variable

➢ Always rotate the


signal by 180o about
the vertical axis

➢ Always shift the


signal first if required
Time Reversal

➢ Discrete time
Time Scaling – Continuous Time
➢ X(t/2) means expansion of signal in time (Playing audio signal at half
speed)
➢ X(2t) means compression of signal in time (Playing audio signal at 2x
speed)

Time Scaling – Discrete Time
• Given a signal x[n]
• x[n/2] means expansion of signal in time

• x[2n] means compression of signal in time

Signal Scaling - Image
Image size h/2 x w/2 – obtained by sampling at 2n

Image size 2h x 2w – obtained by sampling at n/2

Image size h x w
Signal Weighting
➢ Scaling the dependent
variable

➢ Amplification: 2x(t)

➢ Attenuation: 0.5x(t)
Signal Weighting
➢ Scaling the
dependent
variable

➢ Amplification:
2x[n]

➢ Attenuation:
