Elementary Discrete-Time Signals
The elementary signals which are used as a basic building blocks for
the construction of complex signals and also used to model a large
number of physical signals, which occur in nature. These elementary
signals are also called standard signals.

Unit Step Sequence
The step sequence is an important signal used for analysis of many discrete-
time systems which exists only for positive time and is zero for negative time.
If a step function has unity magnitude, then it is called unit step function.
The discrete-time unit step sequence u(n) is defined as:
The shifted version of the discrete-time unit step sequence u(n– k) is defined
as:
It is zero if the arugment (n– k) < 0 and equal to 1 if the argument (n– k) ≥ 0.

Time Shifting
The time Shifting of a signal may result in time delay or time advance.
The time shifting operation of a discrete time signal x(n) can be
represented by
y(n)=x(n-k)
15
Time reversal
The time reversal also called time folding of a discrete-time signal x(n) can be
obtained by folding the sequence about n= 0. The time reversed signal is the
reflection of the original signal. It is obtained by replacing the independent
variable n by –n.
Figure 1.11(a) shows an arbitrary discrete-time signal x(n), and its time
reversed version x(–n) is shown in Figure 1.11(b).
Figure 1.11[(c) and (d)] shows the delayed and advanced versions of reversed
signal x(–n).

Classification of discrete time signals
The signals can be classified based on their nature and characteristics in the time
domain. They are broadly classified as: (i) continuous-time signals and (ii)
discrete-time signals
