Introduction to signals
meiling chen signals & systems 2
signals
• Electrical signals– Voltages and currents in a CKT
• Acoustic signals– Audio or speech signals
• Video signals– Intensity variations in an image
Signals are functions of independent variables that carry information.

Independent variables
• Can be continuous
• Can be discrete
• Can be 1-dimension, 2-D, …N-D
For this course we focus on a signal 1-D independent variable which we called “time”Continuous time x(t) , t– continuous values Discrete time x[k], k– Integer values only

Continuous time (CT) signal
Most of the signals in the physical world are CT signals—E.g. voltage & current, pressure, temperature, velocity, etc.

Discrete time (DT) signal
Examples of DT signals in nature:• DNA base sequence• Population of the nth generation of certain species

Classification of signals
• Continuous-time and discrete-time signals
• Even and odd signals
• Periodic and nonperiodic signals
• Deterministic and random signals

Elementary signals
• Exponential signals
• Sinusoidal signals
• Step function
• Rectangular pulse
• Impulse function
• Derivatives of the impulse

Basic operations on signals
• Operations performed on dependent variables– Amplitude scaling, Addition, Multiplication,
differentiation
• Operations performed on independent variables– Time scaling– Reflection– Time shifting
