Analog and Digital Systems
• Digital systems can process, store, and transmit data more
efficiently but can only assign discrete values to each
point

• Digital electronics uses circuits that have two states, which
are represented by two different voltage levels called HIGH
and LOW. The voltages represent numbers in the binary
system
• In binary, a single number is called a bit (for binary digit). A
bit can have the value of either a 0 or a 1, depending on if the
voltage is HIGH or LOW.
DigitalSignals
• Digital waveforms change between the LOW and HIGH
levels. A positive going pulse is one that goes from anormally
LOW logic level to a HIGH level and then back again.
Digital waveforms are made up of a series of pulses

Periodic Pulse Waveforms
• Periodic pulse waveforms are composed of pulses that repeats
in a fixed interval called the period.
• The frequency is the rate it repeats and is measured in hertz.
The clock is a basic timing signal that is an example of a
periodic wave.
What is the period of a repetitive wave if f = 3.2 GHz?
Pulse Definitions
• In addition to frequency and period, repetitive pulse
waveforms are described by the amplitude (A), pulse width
(tW) and duty cycle. Duty cycle is the ratio of tW to T.

LINEAR WAVESHAPING
Linear elements such as resistors, capacitors and inductors are
employed to shape a signal in this linear wave shaping. A Sine
wave input has a sine wave output and hence the non-sinusoidal
inputs are more prominently used to understand the linear wave
shaping.
DEFINITION: It is the process of changing the shape of input signal
with linear / non-linear circuits.
Wave Shaping
Types
 Linear Wave Shaping
 Non-linear Wave Shaping
DEFINITION: The process where by the form of a non-
sinusoidal signal is changed by transmission through a linear
network is called linear wave shaping.
Linear Wave Shaping
Types
 High Pass RC Circuit.
 Low Pass RC Circuit.
Non-sinusoidal wave forms
1. Step Waveform: A step voltage is one which
maintains the value zero for all times t<0 and
maintains the value V for all times t>0.
2. Pulse Waveform: The pulse amplitude is V
and the pulse duration is tp.
3. Square Wave: A wave form which maintains
itself at one constant level V1 for a time T1
and at other constant Level V11 for a time T2
and which is repetitive with a period T=T1+T2 is
called a square-wave.
4.Ramp: A waveform which is zero for t < 0 and
which increases linearly with time for t > 0.
5. Exponential

• The exponential waveform input is given by
where T is the time constant of the exponential
