Classification of Signals &
Systems
Introduction to Signals
• A Signal is the function of one or more independent
variables that carries some information to represent a
physical phenomenon.
e.g. ECG, EEG
• Two Types of Signals
1. Continuous-time signals
2. Discrete-time signals
3
1. Continuous-Time Signals
• Signal that has a value for all points in time
• Function of time
– Written as x(t) because the signal “x” is a function of time
• Commonly found in the physical world
– ex. Human speech
• Displayed graphically as a line
x(t)
t
4
2. Discrete-Time Signals
• Signal that has a value for only specific points in time
• Typically formed by “sampling” a continuous-time signal
– Taking the value of the original waveform at specific intervals in time
• Function of the sample value, n
– Write as x[n]
– Often called a sequence
• Commonly found in the digital world
– ex. wav file or mp3
• Displayed graphically as individual values
– Called a “stem” plot

•The unit ramp function is the integral of the unit step function.
•It is called the unit ramp function because for positive t, its
slope is one amplitude unit per time.

As approaches zero, g approaches a unit
step andg approaches a unit impulse

So unit impulse function is the derivative of the unit step
function or unit step is the integral of the unit impulse
function
Functions that approach unit step and unit impulse
Representation of Impulse Function
The area under an impulse is called its strength or weight. It is
represented graphically by a vertical arrow. An impulse with a
strength of one is called a unit impulse.

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.

= A sin (ωot+ θ)
x(t) = Aeat Real Exponential

θ = Phase of sinusoidal wave
A = amplitude of a sinusoidal or exponential signal

Unit Pulse Sequence Contd.
• The discrete-time unit impulse is a function in the
ordinary sense in contrast with the continuous-
time unit impulse.
• It has a sampling property.
• It has no scaling property i.e.
δ[n]= δ[an] for any non-zero finite integer ‘a’
Operations of Signals
• Sometime a given mathematical function may
completely describe a signal .
• Different operations are required for different
purposes of arbitrary signals.
• The operations on signals can be
Time Shifting
Time Scaling
Time Inversion or Time Folding
Time Shifting
• The original signal x(t) is shifted by an
amount tₒ.
• X(t)X(t-to) Signal Delayed Shift to the
right
Time Shifting Contd.
• X(t)X(t+to) Signal Advanced Shift
to the left
Time Scaling
• For the given function x(t), x(at) is the time
scaled version of x(t)
• For a ˃ 1,period of function x(t) reduces and
function speeds up. Graph of the function
shrinks.
• For a ˂ 1, the period of the x(t) increases
and the function slows down. Graph of the
function expands.
Time scaling Contd.
Example: Given x(t) and we are to find y(t) = x(2t).
The period of x(t) is 2 and the period of y(t) is 1,
Time scaling Contd.
• Given y(t),
– find w(t) = y(3t)
and v(t) = y(t/3).
Time Reversal
• Time reversal is also called time folding
• In Time reversal signal is reversed with
respect to time i.e.
y(t) = x(-t) is obtained for the given
function

Classification of Signals
• Deterministic & Non Deterministic Signals
• Periodic & A periodic Signals
• Even & Odd Signals
• Energy & Power Signals
Deterministic & Non Deterministic Signals
Deterministic signals
• Behavior of these signals is predictable w.r.t time
• There is no uncertainty with respect to its value at any
time.
• These signals can be expressed mathematically.
For example x(t) = sin(3t) is deterministic signal.
Deterministic & Non Deterministic Signals
Contd.
Non Deterministic or Random signals
• Behavior of these signals is random i.e. not predictable
w.r.t time.
• There is an uncertainty with respect to its value at any
time.
• These signals can’t be expressed mathematically.
• For example Thermal Noise generated is non
deterministic signal.
Periodic and Non-periodic Signals
• Given x(t) is a continuous-time signal
• x (t) is periodic iff x(t) = x(t+Tₒ) for any T and any integer n
• Example
– x(t) = A cos(wt)
– x(t+Tₒ) = A cos[wt+Tₒ)] = A cos(wt+wTₒ)= A cos(wt+2)
= A cos(wt)
– Note: Tₒ =1/fₒ ; w2fₒ
Periodic and Non-periodic Signals
Contd.
• For non-periodic signals
x(t) ≠ x(t+Tₒ)
• A non-periodic signal is assumed to have a
period T = ∞
• Example of non periodic signal is an
exponential signal
Important Condition of Periodicity for
Discrete Time Signals
• A discrete time signal is periodic if
x(n) = x(n+N)
• For satisfying the above condition the
frequency of the discrete time signal should
be ratio of two integers
i.e. fₒ = k/N
Sum of periodic Signals
• X(t) = x1(t) + X2(t)
• X(t+T) = x1(t+m1T1) + X2(t+m2T2)
• m1T1=m2T2 = Tₒ = Fundamental period
• Example: cos(t/3)+sin(t/4)
– T1=(2)/(/3)=6; T2 =(2)/(/4)=8;
– T1/T2=6/8 = ¾ = (rational number) = m2/m1
– m1T1=m2T2  Find m1 and m2
– 6.4 = 3.8 = 24 = Tₒ
Sum of periodic Signals – may not
always be periodic!
T1=(2)/(1)= 2; T2 =(2)/(sqrt(2));
T1/T2= sqrt(2);
– Note: T1/T2 = sqrt(2) is an irrational number
– X(t) is aperiodic

the present value of the output signal depends only
on the present and/or past values of the input
signal.
• Example: y[n]=x[n]+1/2x[n-1]
Causal & Anticausal Systems Contd.

Example: The system represented by
y(t) = A x(t) is unstable ; A˃1
Reason: let us assume x(t) = u(t), then at
every instant u(t) will keep on multiplying
with A and hence it will not be bonded.
Static & Dynamic Systems
• A static system is memoryless system
• It has no storage devices
• its output signal depends on present values of the
input signal
• For example
Static & Dynamic Systems Contd.
• A dynamic system possesses memory
• It has the storage devices
• A system is said to possess memory if its output
signal depends on past values and future values of
the input signal
Invertible & Inverse Systems
• If a system is invertible it has an Inverse System
• Example: y(t)=2x(t)
– System is invertible must have inverse, that is:
– For any x(t) we get a distinct output y(t)
– Thus, the system must have an Inverse
• x(t)=1/2 y(t)=z(t)

  • 2. Introduction to Signals • A Signal is the function of one or more independent variables that carries some information to represent a physical phenomenon. e.g. ECG, EEG • Two Types of Signals 1. Continuous-time signals 2. Discrete-time signals
  • 3. 3 1. Continuous-Time Signals • Signal that has a value for all points in time • Function of time – Written as x(t) because the signal “x” is a function of time • Commonly found in the physical world – ex. Human speech • Displayed graphically as a line x(t) t
  • 4. 4 2. Discrete-Time Signals • Signal that has a value for only specific points in time • Typically formed by “sampling” a continuous-time signal – Taking the value of the original waveform at specific intervals in time • Function of the sample value, n – Write as x[n] – Often called a sequence • Commonly found in the digital world – ex. wav file or mp3 • Displayed graphically as individual values – Called a “stem” plot x[n] n1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Sample number
