∼ ”Cartesian representation”
■ Euler’s identity
Typical signals
• complex exponential
• rectangular pulse
• triangular function
• signum function
Def: Total energy (Ex ) and average power (Px ) of a continuous-time signal
x(t) is defined as
• Ex =
• Px =
Classification of signals
A CT signal x(t) is
• even iff
• odd iff
System classification
■ Linearity
A system L is said to be linear iff
■ Time-invariance
A system L is said to be time-invariant iff
Note: system is particularly important in
this course.
■ Memorylessness
A system is said to be memoryless iff its output depends only on the input
.
■ Causality
A system is said to be causal iff its output depends only on
values of input.
■ Impulse response of a CT-LTI system
h(t) = L [δ(t)]
y(t) = L [x(t)]
