3. A signal is defined as a function of one or more variables which conveys information on the nature of a physical phenomenon. The value of the function can be a real valued scalar quantity, a complex valued quantity, or perhaps a vector. • Signal: • System: • A system is defined as an entity that manipulates one or more signals to accomplish a function, thereby yielding new signals.

4. A signal x(t) is said to be a continuous time signal if it is defined for all time t. • Continuos-Time Signal: • Discrete-Time Signal: • A discrete time signal x[nT] has values specified only at discrete points in time. • Signal Processing: • A system characterized by the type of operation that it performs on the signal. For example, if the operation is linear, the system is called linear. If the operation is non-linear, the system is said to be non-linear, and so forth. Such operations are usually referred to as “Signal Processing”.

6. A digital programmable system allows flexibility in reconfiguring the DSP operations simply by changing the program. Reconfiguration of an analogue system usually implies a redesign of hardware, testing and verification that it operates properly. • Advantages of Digital over Analogue Signal Processing: • DSP provides better control of accuracy requirements. • Digital signals are easily stored on magnetic media (tape or disk). • The DSP allows for the implementation of more sophisticated signal processing algorithms. • In some cases a digital implementation of the signal processing system is cheaper than its analogue counterpart.

8. Deterministic Signals • A deterministic signal behaves in a fixed known way with respect to time. Thus, it can be modeled by a known function of time t for continuous time signals, or a known function of a sampler number n, and sampling spacing T for discrete time signals. Classification of Signals • Random or Stochastic Signals: • In many practical situations, there are signals that either cannot be described to any reasonable degree of accuracy by explicit mathematical formulas, or such a description is too complicated to be of any practical use. The lack of such a relationship implies that such signals evolve in time in an unpredictable manner. We refer to these signals as random.

9. A continuous time signal x(t) is said to an even signal if it satisfies the condition • x(-t) = x(t) for all t • The signal x(t) is said to be an odd signal if it satisfies the condition • x(-t) = -x(t) Even and Odd Signals • In other words, even signals are symmetric about the vertical axis or time origin, whereas odd signals are antisymmetric about the time origin. Similar remarks apply to discrete-time signals. • Example: • even • odd • odd

10. A continuous signal x(t) is periodic if and only if there exists a T > 0 such that • x(t + T) = x(t) • where T is the period of the signal in units of time. Periodic Signals • f = 1/T is the frequency of the signal in Hz. W = 2/T is the angular frequency in radians per second. • The discrete time signal x[nT] is periodic if and only if there exists an N > 0 such that • x[nT + N] = x[nT] • where N is the period of the signal in number of sample spacings. • Example: Frequency = 5 Hz or 10 rad/s 0.2 0.4 0

11. A simple harmonic oscillation is mathematically described as • x(t) = Acos(wt + ) Continuous Time Sinusoidal Signals • This signal is completely characterized by three parameters: • A = amplitude, w = 2f = frequency in rad/s, and  = phase in radians. A T=1/f

12. 1 0 -1 0 2 4 6 8 10 • A discrete time sinusoidal signal may be expressed as • x[n] = Acos(wn + ) - < n <  • Properties: • A discrete time sinusoid is periodic only if its frequency is a rational number. Discrete Time Sinusoidal Signals • Discrete time sinusoids whose frequencies are separated by an integer multiple of 2 are identical. • The highest rate of oscillation in a discrete time sinusoid is attained when w =  ( or w = - ), or equivalently f = 1/2 (or f = -1/2).

13. A signal is referred to as an energy signal, if and only if the total energy of the signal satisfies the condition • 0 < E <  Energy and Power Signals • On the other hand, it is referred to as a power signal, if and only if the average power of the signal satisfies the condition • 0 < P <  • An energy signal has zero average power, whereas a power signal has infinite energy. • Periodic signals and random signals are usually viewed as power signals, whereas signals that are both deterministic and non-periodic are energy signals.

14. Basic Operations on Signals (a) Operations performed on dependent variables 1. Amplitude Scaling: let x(t) denote a continuous time signal. The signal y(t) resulting from amplitude scaling applied to x(t) is defined by y(t) = cx(t) where c is the scale factor. In a similar manner to the above equation, for discrete time signals we write y[nT] = cx[nT] 2x(t) x(t)

15. 2. Addition: Let x1 [n] and x2[n] denote a pair of discrete time signals. The signal y[n] obtained by the addition of x1[n] + x2[n] is defined as y[n] = x1[n] + x2[n] Example: audio mixer 3. Multiplication: Let x1[n] and x2[n] denote a pair of discrete-time signals. The signal y[n] resulting from the multiplication of the x1[n] and x2[n] is defined by y[n] = x1[n].x2[n] Example: AM Radio Signal

16. (b) Operations performed on independent variable • Time Scaling: Let y(t) is a compressed version of x(t). The signal y(t) obtained by scaling the independent variable, time t, by a factor k is defined by y(t) = x(kt) • if k > 1, the signal y(t) is a compressed version of x(t). • If, on the other hand, 0 < k < 1, the signal y(t) is an expanded (stretched) version of x(t).

19. Time Reversal • This operation reflects the signal about t = 0 and thus reverses the signal on the time scale. 5 x[n] 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 0 n x[-n] -5 0 1 2 3 4 5 n

20. Time Shift A signal may be shifted in time by replacing the independent variable n by n-k, where k is an integer. If k is a positive integer, the time shift results in a delay of the signal by k units of time. If k is a negative integer, the time shift results in an advance of the signal by |k| units in time. 1 x[n] 0.5 0 -2 0 2 4 6 8 10 1 x[n+3] 0.5 0 -2 0 2 4 6 8 10 1 x[n-3] 0.5 0 -2 0 2 4 6 8 10 n
