This document provides an overview of signals and systems topics for the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE). It begins with an outline of the syllabus, covering continuous and discrete time signals, linear time-invariant systems, and digital filter design techniques. The document then discusses various signal functions like unit impulse, unit step, and sinusoidal signals. It also covers different types of systems including causal/non-causal, linear/nonlinear, time-invariant/time-variant, stable/unstable systems. Examples are provided to illustrate key concepts related to classification of signals and systems.
