Introduction to Signals
• A Signal is the function of one or more independent
variables that carries some information to represent
a physical phenomenon.
• A continuous-time signal, also called an analog
signal, is defined along a continuum of time.
A discrete-time signal is defined at
discrete times.
1.Basics of Signals
Elementary Signals
Sinusoidal & Exponential Signals
• Sinusoids and exponentials are important in signal
and system analysis because they arise naturally in
the solutions of the differential equations.
• Sinusoidal Signals can expressed in either of two
ways :
cyclic frequency form- A sin 2Пfot = A sin(2П/To)t
radian frequency form- A sin ωot
ωo = 2Пfo = 2П/To
To = Time Period of the Sinusoidal Wave
Sinusoidal & Exponential Signals Contd.
x(t) = A sin (2Пfot+ θ)
= A sin (ωot+ θ)
x(t) = Aeat Real Exponential
= Aejω̥t =
A[cos (ωot) +j sin (ωot)] Complex Exponential
θ = Phase of sinusoidal wave
A = amplitude of a sinusoidal or exponential signal
fo = fundamental cyclic frequency of sinusoidal signal
ωo = radian frequency
Sinusoidal signal
Signal Examples
• Electrical signals --- voltages and currents in a
circuit
• Acoustic signals --- audio or speech signals
(analog or digital)
• Video signals --- intensity variations in an image
(e.g. a CT scan)
• Biological signals --- sequence of bases in a
gene
• Noise: unwanted signal

Period
Amplitude
Definitions
• Voltage – the force which moves an electrical current
against resistance
• Waveform – the shape of the signal (previous slide is a
sine wave) derived from its amplitude and frequency
over a fixed time (other waveform is the square wave)
• Amplitude – the maximum value of a signal, measured
from its average state
• Frequency (pitch) – the number of cycles produced in a
second – Hertz (Hz). Relate this to the speed of a
processor eg 1.4GigaHertz or 1.4 billion cycles per
second
Signal Basics
 Continuous time (CT) and discrete time (DT) signals
CT signals take on real or complex values as a function of an independent
variable that ranges over the real numbers and are denoted as x(t).
DT signals take on real or complex values as a function of an independent
variable that ranges over the integers and are denoted as x[n].
Note the subtle use of parentheses and square brackets to distinguish between
CT and DT signals.
Analog Signals
• Human Voice – best example
• Ear recognises sounds 20KHz or less
• AM Radio – 535KHz to 1605KHz
• FM Radio – 88MHz to 108MHz
Digital signals
• Represented by Square Wave
• All data represented by binary values
• Single Binary Digit – Bit
• Transmission of contiguous group of bits is a bit
stream
• Not all decimal values can be represented by
binary
1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0
Analogue vs. Digital
Analogue Advantages
• Best suited for audio and video
• Consume less bandwidth
• Available world wide
Digital Advantages
• Best for computer data
• Can be easily compressed
• Can be encrypted
• Equipment is more common and less expensive
• Can provide better clarity
Analog or Digital
• Analog Message: continuous in amplitude and over
time
– AM, FM for voice sound
– Traditional TV for analog video
– First generation cellular phone (analog mode)
– Record player
• Digital message: 0 or 1, or discrete value
– VCD, DVD
– 2G/3G cellular phone
– Data on your disk
A/D and D/A
• Analog to Digital conversion; Digital to
Analog conversion
– Gateway from the communication device to the
channel
• Nyquist Sampling theorem
– From time domain: If the highest frequency in the
signal is B Hz, the signal can be reconstructed
from its samples, taken at a rate not less than 2B
samples per second
Real vs. Complex
Q. Why do we deal with complex signals?
A. They are often analytically simpler to deal with than real
signals, especially in digital communications.
Periodic vs. Aperiodic Signals
 Periodic signals have the property that x(t + T) = x(t) for all t.
 The smallest value of T that satisfies the definition is called the
period.
 Shown below are an aperiodic signal (left) and a periodic signal
(right).
 A causal signal is zero for t < 0 and an non-causal signal is
zero for t > 0
 Right- and left-sided signals
A right-sided signal is zero for t < T and a left-sided signal is zero
for t > T where T can be positive or negative.
Causal vs. Non-causal
Bounded vs. Unbounded
 Every system is bounded, but meaningful signal is always
bounded
Even vs. Odd
 Even signals xe(t) and odd signals xo(t) are defined as
xe(t) = xe(−t) and xo(t) = −xo(−t).
 Any signal is a sum of unique odd and even signals. Using
x(t) = xe(t)+xo(t) and x(−t) = xe(t) − xo(t)
Another Classification of Signals
(Waveforms)
• Deterministic Signals: Can be modeled as a
completely specified function of time
• Random or Stochastic Signals: Cannot be
completely specified as a function of time; must be
modeled probabilistically

related to the unit rectangle through an operation called
convolution.
