1.1
INTRODUCTION:
A signal, as stated before is a function of one or more independent variables. A signal
is a quantitative description of a physical phenomenon, event or process. More precisely, a
signal is a function, usually of one variable in time. However, in general, signals can be
functions of more than one variable, e.g., image signals. Signals are functions of one or more
variables.
Systems respond to an input signal by producing an output signal .
Examples of signals include:
1. A voltage signal: voltage across two points varying as a function of time.
2. A force pattern: force varying as a function of 2-dimensional space.
3. A photograph: color and intensity as a function of 2-dimensional space.
4. A video signal: color and intensity as a function of 2-dimensional space and time.
A continuous-time signal is a quantity of interest that depends on an independent
variable, where we usually think of the independent variable as time. Two examples are the
voltage at a particular node in an electrical circuit and the room temperature at a particular
spot, both as functions of time.
A discrete-time signal is a sequence of values of interest, where the integer index can
be thought of as a time index, and the values in the sequence represent some physical
quantity of interest.
A signal was defined as a mapping from a set of the independent variable (domain) to
the set of the dependent variable (co-domain). A system is also a mapping, but across signals,
or across mappings. That is, the domain set and the co-domain set for a system are both sets
of signals, and corresponding to each signal in the domain set, there exists a unique signal in
the co-domain set.
System description
The system description specifies the transformation of the input signal to the output
signal. In certain cases, a system has a closed form description. E.g. the continuous-time
system with description y (t) = x(t) + x(t-1); where x(t) is the input signal and y(t) is the
output signal.
1.2
Continuous-time and discrete-time systems

Physically, a system is an interconnection of components, devices, etc., such as a
computer or an aircraft or a power plant.
Conceptually, a system can be viewed as a black box which takes in an input signal
x(t) (or x[n]) and as a result generates an output signal y(t) (or (y[n]).
A system is continuous-time (discrete-time) when its I/O signals are continuous-time
(discrete-time).

Elementary Signals:
The elementary signals are used for analysis of systems. Such signals are,
Step
Impulse
Ramp
Exponential
Sinusoidal
Unit step signal:

Unit Step Sequence: The unit step signal has amplitude of 1 for positive value and
amplitude of 0 for negative value of independent variable.
It have two different parameter such as CT unit step signal u(t) and DT unit step
signal u(n).
The mathematical representation of CT unit step signal u(t) is given by,
Ramp Signal:
The amplitude of every sample is linearly increased with the positive value of
independent variable.
Mathematical representation of CT unit ramp signal is given by,
Unit impulse function:

Amplitude of unit impulse approaches 1 as the width approaches zero and it has zero
value at all other values.
The mathematical representation of unit impulse signal for CT is given by,
It is used to determine the impulse response of system.

Classification of CT and DT signals:
Periodic and non-periodic Signals

A periodic function is one which has been repeating an exact pattern for an infinite period of
time and will continue to repeat that exact pattern for aninfinite time. That is, a periodic
function x(t) is one for which
x (t) = x(t+nT)
for any integer value of n, where T >0 is the period of the function and < t < . The
signal repeats itself every T sec. Of course, it also repeats every 2 T,3T and nT. Therefore,
2T, 3T and nT are all periods of the function because the function repeats over any of those
intervals. The minimum positive interval over which a function repeats itself is called the
fundamental period T0.T0 is the smallest value that satisfies the condition x ( t ) = x ( t+T0).
The fundamental frequency f 0 of a periodic function is the reciprocal of the fundamental
period f 0=1/T0. It is measured in Hertz and is the number of cycles (periods) per second.
The fundamental angular frequency 0 measured in radians per second is 0=2T0= 2f0.
A signal that does not satisfy the condition in (2.1) is said to be a periodic or non-periodic.
Deterministic and Random Signals
Deterministic Signals are signals who are completely defined for any instant of time, there is
no uncertainty with respect to their value at any point of time. They can also be described
mathematically, at least approximately. Let a function be defined as

SCE
EC 6303
Signals and Systems
A random signal is one whose values cannot be predicted exactly and cannot be described by
any exact mathematical function, they can be approximately described.
Energy and Power Signals:

Consider v(t) to be the voltage across a resistor R producing a current i(t). The
instantaneous power p(t) per ohm is defined as, Total energy E and average power P on a perohm basis are
For an arbitrary continuous-time signal x (t), the normalized energy content E of x(t)
is defined as,
The normalized average power P of x (t) is defined as,
Similarly, for a discrete-time signal x[n], the normalized energy content E of x[n] is defined
as,
The normalized average power P of x[n] is defined as,

CT Systems and DT Systems:

A system is defined as a physical device which contains set of elements or functional
blocks and that generates a response or output signal for a given input.
1.6
Classification of system:
The systems are classified as,
Static & dynamic system
Time invariant and variant system
Linear and non linear system
Causal and non causal system
Stable and unstable system
1.6.1
1.6.2
Static and dynamic system:

Static system is said to be a memoryless system.
The output does not depend the past or future input.
It only depends the present input for an output.
Eg, y(n) = x(n)
Dynamic system is said to be as system with memory.
Its output depend the past values of input for an output.
Eg. Y(n) = x(n) + x(n - 1)
This static and dynamic systems are otherwise called as memoryless and system with
memory.
Systems with and without memory:
A system is called memory less if the output at any time t (or n) depends only on the
input at time t (or n); in other words, independent of the input at times before of after t
(or n). Examples of memory less systems:
Examples of systems with memory:
1.6.3
Time invariant and time variant system:

If the time shifts in the input signals results in corresponding time shift in the output,
then the system is called as time invariant.
The input and output characteristics do not change with time.
For a continuous time system,
f[x(t1 t2)] = y(t1 t2)
For a discrete time system,
F[x(n - k)] = y(n - k)
5
SCE
EC 6303
Signals and Systems
If the above relation does not satisfy, then the system is said to be a time variant
system.
A system is called time-invariant if the way it responds to inputs does not change over
time:
Examples of time-invariant systems:

The RC circuit considered earlier provided the values of R or C are constant.
Examples of time-varying systems:
The RC circuit considered earlier if the values of R or C change over time.
Most physical systems are slowly time-varying due to aging, etc. Hence, they can be
considered time-invariant for certain time periods in which its behavior does not
change significantly.
1.6.4
Linear and non linear system:

A system is said to be linear if it satisfies the superposition principle.
Superposition principle states that the response to a weighted sum of input signal be
equal to the weighted sum of the output corresponding to each of the individual input
signal
The continuous system is linear if,
F[a1x1(t) + a2x2(t)] = a1y1(t) + a2y2(t)
The discrete system is linear if,
F[a1x1(n) + a2x2(n)] = a1y1(n) + a2y2(n)
Otherwise the system is non linear.
A system is called linear if its I/O behavior satisfies the additivity and homogeneity
properties:
for any complex constant a.
Equivalently, a system is called linear if its I/O behavior satisfies the superposition
property:
6
SCE
EC 6303
Signals and Systems
where any complex constants a and b.

1.6.5
Causal and non causal system:

A causal system is one whose output depends upon the present and past input values.
If the system depends the future input values, the system is said to be non causal.
Eg. for causal system.
Y(t) = x(t) + x(t - 1)
Y(n) = x(n) + x(n - 3)
Eg. For non causal system,
Y(t) = x(t+3) + x2(t)
Y(n) = x(2n)
A system is called causal or non-anticipative if the output at any time t (or n) depends
only on the input at times t or before t (or n or before n); in other words, independent
of the input at times after t (or n). All memory less systems are causal. Physical
systems where the time is the independent variable are causal.
Non-causal systems may arise in applications where the independent variable is not
the time such as in the image processing applications.
Examples of causal systems:
Examples of non-causal systems:
1.6.6
Stable and unstable system:

When every bounded input produces bounded output then the system is called as
stable system or bounded input bounded output (BIBO stable).
Otherwise the system is unstable.
A system is called stable if it produces bounded outputs for all bounded inputs.
Stability in a physical system generally results from the presence of mechanisms that
dissipate energy, such as the resistors in a circuit, friction in a mechanical system, etc.

1. Determine whether the following systems are: i) Memoryless, ii) Stable iii)
Causal iv) Linear and v) Time-invariant.
i) y(n)= nx(n)
ii) y(t)= ( )
Solution:-
2. Determine whether the following systems are time invariant or not.

i)
Y(t) = tx(t)
ii)
Y(n) = x(2n)
Solution:
i)
Y(t) = tx(t)
Y(t) = T[x(t)] = tx(t)
The output due to delayed input is,
Y(t,T) = T[x(t - T)] = tx(t - t)
If the output is delayed by T, we get
Y(t -T) = (t - T) x( t - T)
The system does not satisfy the condition, y(t,T) = y(t T).
Then the system is time invariant.
8
SCE
EC 6303
ii)
Signals and Systems
Y(n) = x(2n)
Y(n) = x(2n)
Y(n) = T[x(n)] = x(2n)
If the input is delayed by K units of time then the output is,
Y(n,k) = T[x(n-k)] = x(2n-k)
The output delayed by k units of time is,
Y(n-k) = x[2(n-k)]
Therefore, y(n,k) is not equal to y(n-k). Then the system is time variant.

related sine and cosine functions
A two parts tutorial on Fourier series. In the first part an example is used to show how
Fourier coefficients are calculated and in a second part you may use an applet to further
explore Fouries series of the same function.
Fourier series may be used to represent periodic functions as a linear combination of
sine and cosine functions. If f(t) is a periodic function of period T, then under certain
conditions, its Fourier series is given by:

Laplace Transform
Lapalce transform is a generalization of the Fourier transform in the sense that it allows
complex frequency whereas Fourier analysis can only handle real frequency. Like
Fourier transform, Lapalce transform allows us to analyze a linear circuit problem, no
matter how complicated the circuit is, in the frequency domain in stead of in he time domain.
Mathematically, it produces the benefit of converting a set of differential equations into a
corresponding set of algebraic equations, which are much easier to solve. Physically, it
produces more insight of the circuit and allows us to know the bandwidth, phase, and transfer
characteristics important for circuit analysis and design.
Most importantly, Laplace transform lifts the limit of Fourier analysis to allow us to find
both the steady-state and transient responses of a linear circuit. Using Fourier transform,
one can only deal with he steady state behavior (i.e. circuit response under indefinite
sinusoidal excitation).
Using Laplace transform, one can find the response under any types of excitation (e.g.
switching on and off at any given time(s), sinusoidal, impulse, square wave excitations, etc.

Properties of ROC of Laplace Transform:

The ROC of X(s) consists of strips parallel to the ># axis in the s-plane.
The ROC does not contain any poles.
If x(t) is of finite duration and is absolutely integrable, then the ROC is the entire splane.
It x(t) is a right sided signal, that is x(t) = 0 for t<t0< then the ROC is of the form
Re(s)> max , where max equals the maximum real part of any of the poles of X(s).
If x(t) is a left sided, that is x(t) = 0 for t>t1> -, then the ROC is of the form Re(s)<
min , where min equals the minimum real part of any of the poles of X(s).
If x(t) is a two sided signal, than the ROC is of the form 1<Re(s)< 2.

State variables and Matrix representation
State variables represent a way to describe ALL linear systems in terms of a common set of
equations involving matrix algebra.
Many familiar properties, such as stability, can be derived from this common
representation. It forms the basis for the theoretical analysis of linear systems.
State variables are used extensively in a wide range of engineering problems, particularly
mechanical engineering, and are the foundation of control theory.
The state variables often represent internal elements of the system such as voltages across
capacitors and currents across inductors.
They account for observable elements of the circuit, such as voltages, and also account for
the initial conditions of the circuit, such as energy stored in capacitors. This is critical to
computing the overall response of the system.
Matrix transformations can be used to convert from one state variable representation to the
other, so the initial choice of variables is not critical.
Software tools such as MATLAB can be used to perform the matrix manipulations required.
Let us define the state of the system by an N-element column vector, x(t):
Note that in this development, v(t) will be the input, y(t) will be the output, and x(t) is used
for the state variables.
Any system can be modeled by the following state equations:
This system model can handle single input/single output systems, or multiple inputs and
outputs.

ANALYSIS OF DISCRETE TIME SIGNALS
4.1
Sampling theory
Let x(t) be a continuous signal which is to be sampled, and that sampling is performed
by measuring the value of the continuous signal every T seconds, which is called the
sampling interval. Thus, the sampled signal x[n] given by: x[n] = x(nT), with n = 0, 1, 2, 3, ...
The sampling frequency or sampling rate fs is defined as the number of samples
obtained in one second, or fs = 1/T. The sampling rate is measured in hertz or in samples per
second.
The frequency equal to one-half of the sampling rate is therefore a bound on the
highest frequency that can be unambiguously represented by the sampled signal. This
frequency (half the sampling rate) is called the Nyquist frequency of the sampling system.
Frequencies above the Nyquist frequency fN can be observed in the sampled signal, but their
frequency is ambiguous. That is, a frequency component with frequency f cannot be
distinguished from other components with frequencies NfN + f and NfN f for nonzero
integers N. This ambiguity is called aliasing. To handle this problem as gracefully as
possible, most analog signals are filtered with an anti-aliasing filter (usually a low-pass filter
with cutoff near the Nyquist frequency) before conversion to the sampled discrete
representation.
The theory of taking discrete sample values (grid of color pixels) from functions defined
over continuous domains (incident radiance defined over the film plane) and then using those
samples to reconstruct new functions that are similar to the original (reconstruction).
Sampler: selects sample points on the image plane
Filter: blends multiple samples together
Sampling theory
Sampling Theorem: bandlimited signal can be reconstructed exactly if it is sampled at
a rate atleast twice the maximum frequencycomponent in it."
34
SCE
EC 6303
Signals and Systems
Consider a signal g(t) that is bandlimited.
The maximum frequency component of g(t) is fm. To recover the signal g(t) exactly
from its samples it has to be sampled ata rate fs _ 2fm. The minimum required sampling rate
fs = 2fm is called nyquist rate
A continuous time signal can be processed by processing its samples through a
discrete time system. For reconstructing the continuous time signal from its discrete time
samples without any error, the signal should be sampled at a sufficient rate that is determined
by the sampling theorem.
4.2
Aliasing
Aliasing is a phenomenon where the high frequency components of the sampled signal
interfere with each other because of inadequate sampling s < 2m. Aliasing
Aliasing leads to distortion in recovered signal. This is the reason why sampling frequency
should be atleast twice the bandwidth of the signal.
35
SCE
EC 6303
Signals and Systems
4.3
Sampling of Non-bandlimited Signal: Anti-aliasing Filter

Anti aliasing filter is a filter which is used before a signal sampler, to restrict the
bandwidth of a signal to approximately satisfy the sampling theorem. The potential defectors
are all the frequency components beyond fs/2 Hz. We should have to eliminate these
components from x(t) before sampling x(t). As a result of this we lose only the components
beyond the folding frequency fs/2 Hz. These frequency components cannot reappear to
corrupt the components with frequencies below the folding frequency. This suppression of
higher frequencies can be accomplished by an ideal filter of bandwidth fs/2 Hz. This filter is
called the anti-aliasing filter. The anti aliasing operation must be performed before the
signal is sampled. The anti aliasing filter, being an ideal filter is unrealizable. In practice, we
use a steep cutoff filter, which leaves a sharply attenuated residual spectrum beyond the
folding frequency fs/2.
4.4
DISCRETE TIME FOURIER TRANSFORM

In mathematics, the discrete-time Fourier transform (DTFT) is one of the specific
forms of Fourier analysis. As such, it transforms one function into another, which is called
the frequency domain representation, or simply the "DTFT", of the original function (which
is often a function in the time-domain). But the DTFT requires an input function that is
discrete. Such inputs are often created by sampling a continuous function, like a person's
voice.

Definition: The Z transform of a discrete-time signal x(n) is defined as the power series:
where z is a complex variable. The above given relations are sometimes called the direct Z transform because they transform the time-domain signal x(n) into its complex-plane
representation X(z). Since Z transform is an infinite power series, it exists only for those
values of z for which this series converges.
The region of convergence of X(z) is the set of all values of z for which X(z) attains a
finite value.
For discrete-time systems, z-transforms play the same role of Laplace transforms do in
continuous-time systems

5.1 Introduction
A discrete-time system is anything that takes a discrete-time signal as input and
generates a discrete-time signal as output.1 The concept of a system is very general. It may be
used to model the response of an audio equalizer . In electrical engineering, continuous-time
signals are usually processed by electrical circuits described by differential equations.
For example, any circuit of resistors, capacitors and inductors can be analyzed using
mesh analysis to yield a system of differential equations. The voltages and currents in the
circuit may then be computed by solving the equations. The processing of discrete-time
signals is performed by discrete-time systems. Similar to the continuous-time case, we may
represent a discrete-time system either by a set of difference equations or by a block diagram
of its implementation.
For example, consider the following difference equation. y(n) = y(n-1)+x(n)+x(n1)+x(n-2) This equation represents a discrete-time system. It operates on the input signal
x(n)x(n) to produce the output signal y(n).

13. Consider an LTI system with impulse response h(n)= (n-* ) for an input x(n), find the
Y( .( NOV/DEC 2003).
Here is the spectrum of output. By convolution theorem we can write,
Y( )=H( )X(
Here H( )=DTFT{ (n-* )}= H*
Y( )= H* X( .
14. List the properties of convolution?
o Commutative property of convolution
x(n) * h(n) = h(n) * x(n) = y(n)
o Associative property of convolution
[ x(n) * h1(n)] * h2(n) = x(n) * [h1(n) * h2(n)]
o Distributive property of convolution
x(n) * [h1(n) + h2(n)] = x(n) * h1(n) + x(n) * h2(n)
15. Define system function?

H(z)= Y(z) is called system function.It is the z transform of the unit sample X(Z)
