The automobile responses by increasing the speed of the vehicle.
System is the automobile, pressure on pedal is the input signal, the
automobile speed is the response or output signal.

• Digitized electrocardiogram as input to a computer program for


an automated diagnosis of electrocardiogram.
The program responses by estimating parameter (the heart rate of the
patient).
System is the computer program, digitized electrocardiogram is the
input signal, the heart rate is the response or output signal.
• Control input signal to a robot arm.
The robot responses by producing movement of the arm.
System is the robot arm, control electrical signal is the input signal,

Objectives & Applications
• When presented with a specific system , we are interested in
characterizing it in detail to understand how it will response to
input signals.
Examples :- Understanding of human auditory system. Vocal Tract
System. Economic system. Analysis of circuits. Determination of
aircraft response characteristic due to pilot commands & wind
gusts.
• Designing of systems to process signals in particular ways.
Example Economic forecasting.. Stock market predicting.
Restoration of degraded or corrupted signals. For example Speech
communication with background noise as in aircraft cockpit or car.

Aim to retain the pilot voice and get rid of the engine noise.
Objectives & Applications
• Images from deep space probes or earth-observing satellites represent
degraded versions of the scenes being imaged.
Why.. Because of equipment limitations, atmospheric effect, errors in
signal transmission in returning the image to earth.
Process by system to restore/enhance the images.

• This course is one of several fundamental required
courses for Electrical Engineering. It covers analytic
(mathematic) background for modeling and analyzing
real-world signals and systems.
• Examples of signals include those involving electricity,
audio, images, video, radar signals, and seismic signals.
• Systems store, manipulate, or transmit signals by
physical processes. Examples include electric circuits
and systems, communication systems, control systems,
and signal processors.

Signals
• Signals may describe a wide variety of physical
phenomenon. It can be represented mathematically as
functions of one or more independent variables:
f(..x,y,z..), x(t)
• For example:
• Time: x(t)
• Frequency: X(f)
• Temperature
• Pressure
• And many others…
