discrete-time signals. A
signal in S is a function
defined only on the
integers and is visualized
as a sequence of numbers,
say, {yk}. …
Digital signals obviously arise in
electrical and control systems
engineering, but discrete-data
sequences are also generated in
biology, physics, economics,
demography and many other
areas, wherever a process is
measured, or sampled, at
discrete time intervals. …
When a process begins at a
specific time, it is sometimes
convenient to write a signal
as a sequence of the form
(y0, y1, y2, …)
The terms yk for k<0 either
are assumed to be zero or
are simply omitted.
The crystal clear sounds from a
compact disc player are
produced from music that has
been sampled at the rate of
44,100 times per second. At each
measurement, the amplitude of
the music signal is recorded as a
number, say, yk. …
The original music is composed
of many different sounds of
varying frequencies, yet the
sequence {yk} contains enough
information to reproduce all the
frequencies in the sound up to
about 20,000 cycles per second,
higher than the human ear can
sense.
