Introduction
Signals are very common in our daily lives as human communication face to face happens
through the use of speech signal and also speech signal is transmitted over a telephone line.
Another form of human communication is electronic in nature over the internet via e-mail
and messages. Signals play an important role in medical sciences also where by monitoring
the ECG and EEG signals of a patient, a doctor is able to diagnose the disease. Similarly, a
probe sent to the outer space sends signals containing information about a faraway planet
back to earth.
A signal is a defined as a function of one or more variables that conveys information about a
physical phenomenon. If it is a function of a single variable like time, then it is said to be one
dimensional signal like speech signal.
1. Continuous Time Signal or Analog Signal: Any signal which is continuous both in time
period & amplitude is known as continuous time signal. These signals represent most of
the commonly occurring signals in nature.
Ex. x t =t2
2. Discrete Time Signal: Signals which are continuous in amplitude but discrete in time
period are called as discrete signals. These signals are obtained from Analog Signals by a
process called as “Sampling” where certain samples of Analog Signals are considered at
regular intervals. Ex. x[n]=n
3. Digital Signal: Signals which are discrete in amplitude as well as in time period are called
as digital signals. These signals are obtained from Discrete Time Signals by a process
called as “Quantization” in which samples are approximated to certain discrete levels to
discretize the amplitude.
Sampling
Here we consider certain samples of Analog Signals equally spaced in time with a spacing of
Ts between them.

Time Shifting
A signal said to be time shifted of the signal if it is delayed in time or advanced in time. This
is called as translation in time domain.
To shift a signal, shift all points of the signal by the amount of shift introduced. For delay,
signal is shifted towards right and for advance signal needs to shifted left.
x t k delayed by k units.
x t k advanced by k units
Scaling
1. Amplitude Scaling
If the signal is multiplied by a constant value then its amplitude is changed and it is called
as
Amplitude Scaling.
x t kx t
2. Time Scaling
x t x kt
Note:-In amplitude scaling signal strength (area) varies in direct proportionality & in time
scaling the signal strength varies inversely proportional for time limited signed.
For discrete time signal, if x[n] x kn , then it is called as Decimation and only those
samples of signal are included which lie at points which are integral multiples of “k”.
n
If x[n] x , then this process is called as Interpolation and here we insert 0’s between
k
two successive samples of the signal.

Note:
Any periodic signal added or multiplied with DC signal, the overall signal is periodic
signal.
Any periodic signal added or multiplied with unit-step signal, the overall signal is non-
periodic signal.
All exponential signals are non-periodic but all complex CT exponential signals are
periodic.

a) Even signals
These signals are symmetric about y-axis (x = 0).
b) Odd signals
These signals are symmetric in 1st and 3rd Quadrant i.e. they are symmetric about y=x
line.
Any signal can be represented as a combination of even & odd signals and if the signal is
even, then its odd part is zero & vice versa.

Signals whose output can be estimated at any instant of time are known as deterministic
signals.
All deterministic signals can be expressed mathematically.
Signals whose output cannot be estimated at any instant are known as random signals.
They are modelled in terms of probability of occurrence of a particular symbol. More the
randomness in the signal, less is probability of occurrence of a symbol and more is the
information content.
Any signal which starts at a pre-determined t>0 for CTS & n 0 for DTS are known as
causal signals. Signals other than causal are known as non-causal.
u(t) causal, u(-t) Anti-Causal, u(t+2) Non-causal.
All periodic or everlasting are non-causal signals.
