Continuous-time Signals ELEC 309 Prof. Siripong Potisuk
Signal Transformations Operations Performed on the Independent and Dependent Variables • Reflection or Time Reversal or Folding • Time Shifting • Time Scaling • Amplitude Scaling • Amplitude Shifting Note: The independent variable is assumed to be t representing time.
For CT signals, replace t by –t Time reversal or Folding or Reflection about t = 0 x(-t) is the reflected version of x(t) obtained from x(t) by a reflection about t =0
Amplitude Scaling Multiply x(t) by A, where A is the scaling factor If A is negative, the original signal x(t) is also reflected about the horizontal axis.
Amplitude Shifting Add a constant A to x(t), where A is the amount of shift (upward or downward)
Signal Characteristics Deterministic vs. Random Finite-length vs. Infinite-length Real vs. Complex Conjugate-symmetric vs. Conjugate-antisymmetric Even vs. Odd Periodic vs. Aperiodic (Non-periodic) Right-sided/ Left-sided/ Two-sided Causal vs. Anti-causal
Even & Odd CT Signals A complex-valued signal x(t) is said to be A real-valued signal x(t) is said to be
Even-Odd Signal Decomposition A CT signal can be decomposed into its even and odd parts.
CT Periodic Signals A CT periodic signal x(t) is a function of time that satisfies the condition T is a positive constant T0 is the smallest value of T called the fundamental period of x(t) f0 = 1/T0 called the fundamental frequency w0 = 2pf0 called the angular frequency
CT Aperiodic (nonperiodic) Signals Does not satisfy the condition Periodic extension accomplished by using summation and time-shifting operation
Signal Metrics Energy Power Magnitude Area
Energy A finite-length signal with finite amplitude have finite energy. An infinite-length signal with finite amplitude may or may not have finite energy.
Power A finite energy signal with zero average power is called an ENERGY signal. An infinite energy signal with finite average power is called a POWER signal.
Average Power Average over one period for periodic signal, e.g., Root-mean-square power:
