variables.
1. A speech signal is function of single independent variable,
particularly time s(t)

time signal.

where: 𝒙𝟏(𝒕), 𝒙𝟐(𝒕) are real signals;
𝒋= −𝟏

Deterministic signals: Random signals:
– Signals whose values are – Signals that take random
completely specified for any values at any given time
given time – Signals must be
– Signal can be modeled by a characterized statistically
known function of time t
(or n)

Condition for Periodicity for C-T
For a given sinusoidal or complex exponential signals, we can prove
mathematically that the signals is periodic by checking
x(t+T) = x(t), where T = fundamental period

The complex exponential sequence is of the form x[ n ] e j

Using Euler’s formula x[ n ] e j
cos W 0 n j sin W 0 n
real imaginary
Note: If x1[n] is a sequence with period N1, and x2[n] is another sequence with period N2, the sum
x[n]=x1[n]+x2[n] will always be periodic with a fundamental period
N1 N 2
N where gcd(N1, N2) means greatest common divisor of N1 and N2.
gcd( N1 , N 2 )
The same is true for x[n]=x1[n]x2[n]; however, the44fundamental period may be smaller

Continuous-Time & Discrete-Time Systems
• If the input and output signals x and y are d-t x[n] System y[n]
T
signals or sequences, then the system is called a d-t
system
54
Systems with memory and without memory
• 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.
• A system is said to be with memory, if its output depends on both present and
past inputs.
• Example - Memoryless System:
A resistor R with input x(t) as the current and the voltage taken as the output
y(t).
The input-output relationship of a resistor is Y(t) = Rx(t).
x(t)
x(t) y(t)
y(t)
55
Systems with memory and without
memory…
• Example 1 - System with memory:
A capacitor C with the current as the input x(t) and the voltage as the
output y(t):
x(t)
1 t
y (t )
C
x ( ) d x(t)
y(t)
y(t)
C-T: T {x(t )} y (t )
• A system which does not satisfy the above equation is called a time-varying
system.
• If the system is linear and also time-invariant, then it is called a linear time-
invariant (LTI) system
61
Stable Systems
• A system is bounded-input/bounded-output (BIBO) stable if for any bounded
input x defined by
x k1
the corresponding output y is also bounded defined by

Operations of Signals
66
Time Shifting
The original signal x(t) is shifted by an amount tₒ.
X(t) => X(t-to) => Signal Delayed => Shift to the right
67
Time Shifting
X(t) => X(t+to) => Signal Advanced => Shift to the left
68
Time Scaling
For the given function x(t), x(at) is the time scaled version of x(t)
For a ˃ 1, period of function x(t) reduces and function speeds up.
Graph of the function shrinks.
For a ˂ 1, the period of the x(t) increases and the function slows down.
Graph of the function expands.
69
Time scaling
• Given y(t),
find w(t) = y(3t) and v(t) = y(t/3).
