SIGNALS:-

A signal is defined as any physical quantity that varies with time, space or any other independent
variable. It can be a function of one or more independent variable. E.g. speech, EEG, ECG etc.

SYSTEMS:-

System is a device or combination of devices, which can operate on signals and produces
corresponding response. Input to a system is called as excitation and output from it is called as
response.For one or more inputs, the system can have one or more outputs.

Example: Communication System

Classification of Signals:-

I. Continuous Time Signals:- The signals that are defined for every instant of time are
known as continuous time signals. They are denoted as x(t)

II. Discrete Time Signals:- The signals that are defined at discrete instants of time are
known as discrete-time signals. The discrete- time signals are continuous in amplitude
and discrete in time. They are denoted by x(n)

Basic signal:
Unit Step Signal:
A signal, which satisfies the following two conditions −

10 | Page Study Material, IEM, ECE Department


Paper Name: Signals and Systems Paper Code: EC 303

 U(t)=1(when t≥0) and


 U(t)=0(when t<0)

Ramp Signal:

Ramp signal is denoted by r(t), and it is defined as


r(t) = t when t⩾0
r(t)= 0 when t<0

Unit Impulse:

 Impulse function is denoted by δ(t). and it is defined as


δ(t) =1(when t=0)
δ(t) =0(when t≠0)

=u(t); δ(t)= [Area under unit ramp is unity]

Exponential Signal:

11 | Page Study Material, IEM, ECE Department


Paper Name: Signals and Systems Paper Code: EC 303

Exponential signal is in the form of x(t) = eαt


The shape of exponential can be defined by α
Case i: if α = 0 →x(t) = e0 = 1

Case ii: if α< 0 i.e. -ve then x (t) = e−αt.The shape is called decaying exponential.

Case iii: if α> 0 i.e. +ve then x(t) = eαt. The shape is called raising exponential.

Let’s learn by doing:


1.An impulse function consist of
a. pure dc

b. pure a.c

c. entire frequency range with constant phase


d. infinite bandwidth with linear phase variations

Course Outcomes:

Lecture 2 (1 Hour)

Topics Covered:Transformation of independent variable of signals:

Prerequisites: Have you Read Signals

 Basics of Signals

Objectives: Students will understand and analyze fundamental principles and key concepts
of signals and its significance.

OPERATIONS:

There are two variable parameters in general:


1. Amplitude
2. Time

The following operation can be performed with amplitude:

Amplitude Scaling:x(t) is a amplitude scaled version of x(t) whose amplitude is scaled by a


factor C.

14 | Page Study Material, IEM, ECE Department


Paper Name: Signals and Systems Paper Code: EC 303

Addition:
Addition of two signals is nothing but addition of their corresponding amplitudes.
This can be best explained by using the following example:

As seen from the diagram above,

i) Amplitude of z (t) = x1(t) + x2(t) = 0 + 2 = 2

ii) Amplitude of z (t) = x1(t) + x2(t) = 1 + 2 = 3

iii) Amplitude of z (t) = x1(t) + x2(t) = 0 + 2 = 2

Subtraction: subtraction of two signals is nothing but subtraction of their corresponding


amplitudes. This can be best explained by the following example:

15 | Page Study Material, IEM, ECE Department


Paper Name: Signals and Systems Paper Code: EC 303

As seen from the diagram above,

i) Amplitude of z (t) = x1(t) - x2(t) = 0-2 = 2

ii) Amplitude of z (t) = x1(t) - x2(t) = 1 - 2 = -1

iii) Amplitude of z (t) = x1(t) - x2(t) = 0 - 2 = -2

Multiplication: Multiplication of two signals is nothing but multiplication of their


corresponding amplitudes. This can be best explained by the following example:

i) Amplitude of z (t) = x1(t) × x2(t) = 0 × 2 = 0

ii) Amplitude of z (t) = x1(t) × x2(t) = 1 × 2 = 2

16 | Page Study Material, IEM, ECE Department


Paper Name: Signals and Systems Paper Code: EC 303

iii) Amplitude of z (t) = x1(t) × x2(t) = 0 × 2 = 0

v)Amplitude Reversal:

Whenever the amplitude of a signal is multiplied by -1, then it is known as amplitude


reversal.

x(t)→y(t)→−x(t)

The following operations can be performed with time:

i) Time Shifting:
x(t ± t0) is time shifted version of the signal x(t).
x (t + t0) →→ negative shift
x (t - t0) →→ positive shift
Case-1 Case-2

17 | Page Study Material, IEM, ECE Department


Paper Name: Signals and Systems Paper Code: EC 303

ii) Time Scaling:


If a constant is multiplied to the time axis then it is known as Time scaling. This can be
mathematically represented as;
x(t)→y(t)=x(αt) or x(t/α); where α ≠ 0

iii) Time Reversal

Whenever signal’s time is multiplied by -1, it is known as time reversal of the signal. In
this case, the signal produces its mirror image about Y-axis. Mathematically, this can be written
as; x(t)→y(t)→x(−t)

Let’s learn by doing:

1. Draw i) -2x(2t-0.5) ii) x(4-t) of the following signal x(t)

Topics Covered:Transformation of independent variable of signals:

Prerequisites:Transformation of independent variable of signals:

Objectives: Students will understand and analyze fundamental principles and key concepts
of classification of signals.

Signals are classified into the following categories:

23 | Page Study Material, IEM, ECE Department


Paper Name: Signals and Systems Paper Code: EC 303

i) Continuous Time and Discrete Time Signals


ii) Deterministic and Non-deterministic Signals
iii) Even and Odd Signals
iv) Periodic and Aperiodic Signals
v) Energy and Power Signals

i) Continuous Time and Discrete Time Signals:

A signal is said to be continuous when it is defined for all instants of time.

A signal is said to be discrete when it is defined at only discrete instants of time.

ii) Deterministic and Non-deterministic Signals:

A signal is said to be deterministic if there is no uncertainty with respect to its value at any
instant of time. Or, signals which can be defined exactly by a mathematical formula are known
as deterministic signals.

A signal is said to be non-deterministic if there is uncertainty with respect to its value at some
instant of time. Non-deterministic signals are random in nature hence they are called random

24 | Page Study Material, IEM, ECE Department


Paper Name: Signals and Systems Paper Code: EC 303

signals. Random signals cannot be described by a mathematical equation. They are modelled in
probabilistic terms.

iii) Even and Odd Signals:


A signal is said to be even if it satisfies the following condition; x(−t)=x(t)
A signal is said to be odd, if it satisfies the following condition; x(−t)=−x(t)

Representation of any signal into even or odd form:


Some signals cannot be directly classified into even or odd type. These are represented as a
combination of both even and odd signal.
x(t)→xe(t)+x0(t)
Where xe(t) represents the even signal and xo(t) represents the odd signal
xe(t)=
And
x0(t)=

iv) Periodic and Aperiodic Signals:


A signal is said to be periodic if it satisfies the condition x(t) = x(t + T) or x(n) = x(n + N).
Where
T = fundamental time period,
1/T = f = fundamental frequency.

25 | Page Study Material, IEM, ECE Department


Paper Name: Signals and Systems Paper Code: EC 303

For discrete time signal: A discrete time signal is periodic if and only if, it satisfies the
following condition −
x(n+N)=x(n)
Here, x(n) signal repeats itself after N period. This can be best understood by considering a
cosine signal −
x(n)=Acos(2πf0n+θ)
x(n+N)=Acos(2πf0(n+N)+θ)=Acos(2πf0n+2πf0N+θ)
For the signal to become periodic, following condition should be satisfied;
x(n+N)=x(n)
⇒Acos(2πf0n+2πf0N+θ)=Acos(2πf0n+θ
i.e. 2πf0N is an integral multiple of 2π
2πf0N=2πK
⇒N=Kf0
Frequencies of discrete sinusoidal signals are separated by integral multiple of 2π.
Periodic signal: Aperiodic signal:

Let’s learn by doing:.

of classification of signals.

Energy and Power Signals:

For continuous time signal:


A signal is said to be an Energy signal, if and only if, the total energy contained is finite
and nonzero (0<E<∞).
For any finite signal x(t) the energy can be symbolized as E and is written as;
E=
A signal is said to be power type signal, if and only if, normalized average power is finite and
non-zero.
In mathematical form, the power of a signal x(t) can be written as;

Paper Name: Signals and Systems Paper Code: EC 303

If each individual values of x(n)are squared and added, we get the energy signal.
Here x(n) is the energy signal and its energy is finite over time i.e. 0<E<∞
Average power of a discrete signal is represented as P. Mathematically, this can be
written as;
P=
Here, power is finite i.e. 0<P<∞. However, there are some signals, which belong to neither
energy nor power type signal.

Lecture 5(1 Hour) :System properties: Linearity, Causality, time invariance and stability.

Topics Covered:Classification of Systems

Prerequisites: Transformation of independent variable of signals:

Objectives: Students will understand and analyze fundamental principles and key concepts
of systems.

What is System?
System is a device or combination of devices, which can operate on signals and produces
corresponding response. Input to a system is called as excitation and output from it is called as
response. For one or more inputs, the system can have one or more outputs.

Example: Communication System

Systems are classified into the following categories:

a) Linear and Non-linear Systems


b) Time Variant and Time Invariant Systems
c) Linear Time variant and Linear Time invariant systems
d) Static and Dynamic Systems
e) Causal and Non-causal Systems
f) Stable and Unstable Systems
Linear and Non-linear Systems:

34 | Page Study Material, IEM, ECE Department


Paper Name: Signals and Systems Paper Code: EC 303

A system is said to be linear when it satisfies superposition and homogenate principles. Consider
two systems with inputs as x1(t), x2(t), and outputs as y1(t), y2(t) respectively. Then, according to
the superposition and homogenate principles,
T [a1 x1(t) + a2 x2(t)] = a1 T[x1(t)] + a2 T[x2(t)]
∴, T [a1 x1(t) + a2 x2(t)] = a1 y1(t) + a2 y2(t)
From the above expression, is clear that response of overall system is equal to response of
individual system.
A linear system follows the laws of superposition. This law is necessary and sufficient condition
to prove the linearity of the system. Apart from this, the system is a combination of two types of
laws –
 Law of additivity

 Law of homogeneity

Both, the law of homogeneity and the law of additivity are shown in the above figures. However,
there are some other conditions to check whether the system is linear or not.
The conditions are −
 The output should be zero for zero input.
 There should not be any non-linear operator present in the system.

Examples of non-linear operators –


(a) Trigonometric operators- Sin, Cos, Tan, Cot, Sec, Cosec etc.
(b) Exponential, logarithmic, modulus, square, Cube etc.

b) Time Variant and Time Invariant Systems:

35 | Page Study Material, IEM, ECE Department


Paper Name: Signals and Systems Paper Code: EC 303

A system is said to be time variant if its input and output characteristics vary with time.
Otherwise, the system is considered as time invariant.
The condition for time invariant system is:
y (n , t) = y(n-t)
The condition for time variant system is:
y (n , t) ≠ y(n-t)
Where y (n, t) = T[x (n-t)] = input change
y (n-t) = output change
For a time-invariant system, the output and input should be delayed by some time unit. Any
delay provided in the input must be reflected in the output for a time invariant system.

For a time variant system, also, output and input should be delayed by some time constant but
the delay at the input should not reflect at the output. All time scaling cases are examples of time
variant system. Similarly, when coefficient in the system relationship is a function of time, then
also, the system is time variant.

C) Linear Time variant and Linear Time invariant systems:


If a system is both liner and time variant, then it is called liner time variant (LTV) system.
If a system is both liner and time Invariant then that system is called liner time invariant (LTI)
system.

Let’s learn by doing:

a) y(t)=x(t)+3

Relevant MAKAUT syllabus portion: System properties: Causality,stability, static and
dynamic.

Lecture 6(1 Hour) :System properties: Causality,stability, static and dynamic.


Topics Covered:Classification of Systems

Prerequisites: Transformation of independent variable of signals:

Objectives: Students will understand and analyze fundamental principles and key concepts
of systems.

d) Static and Dynamic Systems:

Some systems have feedback and some do not. Those, which do not have feedback
systems, their output depends only upon the present values of the input. Past value of the data is
not present at that time. These types of systems are known as static systems. It does not depend
upon future values too.

Since these systems do not have any past record, so they do not have any memory also.
Therefore, we say all static systems are memory-less systems. Let us take an example to
understand this concept much better.Static system is memory-less.

If a system depends upon the past and future value of the signal at any instant of the time
then it is known as dynamic system. Unlike static systems, these are not memory less systems.
They store past and future values. Therefore, they require some memory. Let us understand this
theory better through some examples.Dynamic system is a memory system.

Example

Find wheather the system is static ?


y(t)=x(t)+x(t−1)
Answer: Here, x(t) is the present value. It has no relation with the past values of the time. So, it
is a static system. However, in case of x(t-1), if we put t = 0, it will reduce to x(-1) which is a
past value dependent. So, it is not static. Therefore here y(t) is not a static system.

Find wheather the system is dynamic ?


y(t)=x(t+1)
Answer: In this case if we put t = 1 in the equation, it will be converted to x(2), which is a future
dependent value. Because here we are giving input as 1 but it is showing value for x(2). As it is a
future dependent signal, so clearly it is a dynamic system.

41 | Page Study Material, IEM, ECE Department


Paper Name: Signals and Systems Paper Code: EC 303

e) Causal and Non-causal Systems:


Previously, we saw that the system needs to be independent from the future and past
values to become static. In this case, the condition is almost same with little modification. Here,
for the system to be causal, it should be independent from the future values only. That means
past dependency will cause no problem for the system from becoming causal.Causal systems are
practically or physically realizable system.
A system is said to be causal if its output depends upon present and past inputs, and
does not depend upon future input.
A non-causal system is just opposite to that of causal system. If a system depends upon
the future values of the input at any instant of the time then the system is said to be non-causal
system.
For non causal system, the output depends upon future inputs also.
Example

Find wheather the system is Causal ?


y(n) = 2 x(n) + 3 x(n-3)
For present value t=1, the system output is y(1) = 2x(1) + 3x(-2).
Here, the system output only depends upon present and past inputs. Hence, the system is causal.

Find wheather the system is Causal?


y(n) = 2 x(t) + 3 x(t-3) + 6x(t + 3)
For present value t=1, the system output is y(1) = 2x(1) + 3x(-2) + 6x(4) Here, the system output
depends upon future input. Hence the system is non-causal system.

f) Stable and Unstable Systems:


A stable system satisfies the BIBO (bounded input for bounded output) condition. Here,
bounded means finite in amplitude. For a stable system, output should be bounded or finite, for
finite or bounded input, at every instant of time.
Some examples of bounded inputs are functions of sine, cosine, DC, signum and unit step.
Unstable systems do not satisfy the BIBO conditions. Therefore, for a bounded input, we
cannot expect a bounded output in case of unstable systems.
Examples
a) y(t)=x(t)+10
Here, for a definite bounded input, we can get definite bounded output i.e. if we
put x(t)=2,y(t)=12x(t)=2,y(t)=12 which is bounded in nature. Therefore, the system is stable.
b) y(t)=tx(t)
Here, for a finite input, we cannot expect a finite output. For example, if we will
put x(t)=2⇒y(t)=2tx(t)=2⇒y(t)=2t. This is not a finite value because we do not know the value

Prerequisites: Transformation of independent variable of signals and syatems:

Objectives: Students will understand the types of sampling.

There are three types of sampling techniques:

 Impulse sampling.

 Natural sampling.

 Flat Top sampling.

Impulse sampling:

Impulse sampling can be performed by multiplying input signal x(t) with impulse
train of period 'T'. Here, the amplitude of impulse changes with respect to
amplitude of input signal x (t). The output of sampler is given by

54 | Page Study Material, IEM, ECE Department


Paper Name: Signals and Systems Paper Code: EC 303

y(t)=x(t)× impulse train


=x(t)×
y(t)=yδ(t)= …………. (1)
To get the spectrum of sampled signal, consider Fourier transform of equation 1 on both sides

Y(ω)=
This is called ideal sampling or impulse sampling. You cannot use this practically because pulse
width cannot be zero and the generation of impulse train is not possible practically.

Natural sampling:

Natural sampling is similar to impulse sampling, except the impulse train is replaced by pulse
train of period T. i.e.you multiply input signal x(t) to pulse train as shown below.

55 | Page Study Material, IEM, ECE Department


Paper Name: Signals and Systems Paper Code: EC 303

NOTE:

Flat Top Sampling:

During transmission, noise is introduced at top of the transmission pulse which can be
easily removed if the pulse is in the form of flat top. Here, the top of the samples are flat i.e. they
have constant amplitude. Hence, it is called as flat top sampling or practical sampling. Flat top
sampling makes use of sample and hold circuit.

56 | Page Study Material, IEM, ECE Department


Paper Name: Signals and Systems Paper Code: EC 303

Theoretically, the sampled signal can be obtained by convolution of rectangular pulse p(t)
with ideally sampled signal say yδ(t) as shown in the diagram:

i.e. y(t)=p(t)×yδ(t)......(1)

To get the sampled spectrum, consider Fourier transform on both sides for equation 1

Y[ω]=F.T[P(t)×yδ(t)]Y[ω]

By the knowledge of convolution property,

Y[ω]=P(ω)Yδ(ω)

Here P(ω)=TSa(ωT/2)=2sinωT/ω

Topics Covered: Signal Representation and Orthogonal Functions.

Prerequisites: you must have a basic understanding of differential and integral calculus,
limits and adequate knowledge of mathematics.

Objectives: Students will understand the foundation for signal representation for future
applications

Signal representation

Often in signal processing, an unknown signal of periodic or aperiodic nature is represented


using a known and standard set of signals. Such signal representation immediately brings great
advantage in signal generation, detection and intermediate processing.

The topic of interest in this chapter is representation of periodic signals of arbitrary amplitude
profile.

Orthogonal functions

Two functions f1 and f2 are said to be orthogonal in [T1, T2] if the following identity holds
T2

 f (t) f (t)dt  0
T1
1 2

If f1 and f2 represented two signals, the abovementioned identity would indicate that f1 and f2
are orthogonal to each other having no inter-relationship.

Extending the concept of orthogonality to multiple functions, a set of real functions


1 (t),2 (t)...n (t) are said to be an orthogonal set if the functions obey the following condition
T2

  (t) (t)dt  0
T1
i j if i  j

The set would also be called an orthonormal one if, together with the above condition, the set
also satisfies the following condition

63 | Page Study Material, IEM, ECE Department


Paper Name: Signals and Systems Paper Code: EC 303

T2

  (t) (t)dt  1
T1
i j if i  j

If we have such an orthogonal set of known standard functions, they could be used to depict any
functions of periodic nature. This is the main idea behind Fourier and Laplace representation of
signals in both continuous and discrete time domain.

Problem 1.1: Check whether the following functions are orthogonal to each other:

(a) sin(m0t ) for different m.


(b) cos(n0t ) for different n,
(c) sin(m0t ) and cos(n0t ) for different m and n.

Lecture 2 (1 Hour)

Topics Covered: Fourier Series for Periodic Signals:

Prerequisites: Signal representation and orthogonality.

Objectives: Students will understand and analyze expression of signals using standard
periodic sinusoids and complex exponentials.

Periodic Signals

A signal is periodic if some part of it is repeated after certain interval. Consequently, if x(t) is a
periodic signal with a period of ‘p’, then x(t±p)=x(t).

Problem 2.1: If f(x) and g(x) have period p, show that h=af(x)+bg(x) (a,b constants) would also have
period p.

Representation of periodic signals using Fourier series

As was seen in Example 1.2, a set of real periodic sinusoidal signals, being orthogonal to each other, can
represent any arbitrary periodic signal. We only need to find a proper combination of the members of the
complete set. This principle is used in essence to find the Fourier series representation of an arbitrary
periodic signal.

The Fourier series representation of f(t) is written in terms of real sinusoids and a constant function as

The plot of cn and n with respect to n represent the amplitude and phase spectrum of the signal
respectively.

Objectives: Students will understand and analyze the transformation techniques fr non

Existence of Fourier series: Dirichlet condition

The conditions under which it is possible to write the Fourier series representation for a periodic
function f(t) are known as Dirichlet’s condition. These are summarized below:

In each period,

(1) the function is required to have a finite number of discontinuities,


(2) the function can possess a finite number of maxima and minima,
(3) the function must be absolutely convergent (as in below)
T

 | f(t ) | dt  
0

Truncation and Convergence of the Fourier series

Gibbs phenomena

According to the Dirichlet’s condition, a function can have a Fourier series representation even if
it has a finite number of discontinuities. However, due to the finite nature of the series there is a
considerable amount of error near such discontinuities. This effect is known as the Gibbs
phenomena after the first man to investigate it, Sir Willard Gibbs.

As shown in the figure below there is a characteristic overshoot and oscillation near the
discontinuities. As the number of terms in the Fourier series (n) increases the overshoot
decreases and the oscillation sharpens and shifts toward the discontinuity. Amount of overshoot
is about 9% of the total jump and n.

Rate of convergence in different situations

76 | Page Study Material, IEM, ECE Department


Paper Name: Signals and Systems Paper Code: EC 303

A fast varying function/ a sharper function needs more number of terms (n) in the Fourier series
expansion than a slow varying function. Variation of the Fourier series co-efficients are
expressed as in terms of the number of times a function must be differentiated to produce a jump
discontinuity. If a function needs to be differentiated k times to obtain a jump discontinuity then

M M
| an | k 1
, | bn | k 1

Transition from Fourier series to transformation

As the time period increases for a periodic function/signal the Fourier series representation undergoes a
corresponding modification. As the time period increases the amplitudes of the Fourier series co-efficients
keep on decreasing and the separation between two consecutive spectral lines also keeps on decreasing. In
the limit T →∞ the function ceases to remain periodic and rather become aperiodic in nature. This
modification of the spectrum is shown in the figure below.

Fourier transformation and Dirichlet’s Condition

Complex Fourier transformation formula

A non periodic deterministic signal g(t), varying with time in some manner can be expressed as the
Fourier integral using complex exponential function:

 G( f )e
j 2 ft
g (t )  df


where G(f) can be obtained from the inverse transformation as


 g (t )e
 j 2 ft
G( f )  dt


Dirichlet’s Conditions

The Fourier transformation of g(t) would exist if there are some sufficient but not necessary conditions
prevail known as the Dirichlet’s conditions. These are

(1) The function g(t) is single valued with a finite number of maxima or minima in any finite interval.
(2) The function g(t) has a finite number of discontinuities in any finite interval.
(3) The function g(t) is absolutely integrable i.e.


 | g (t ) | dt  
However in reality all physically realizable signals can have a Fourier transformation. In other words, all
energy signals satisfying the following condition have a Fourier integral representation.

Properties of Fourier transformation

1) Linearity
If g1(t)↔G1(f) and g2(t)↔G2(f) then for all constants a1 and a2 (constants of time),
a1g1(t)+a2g2(t) ↔a1G1(f)+a2G2(f).
2) Area under g(t) and area under G(f)
If g1(t)↔G1(f) then

 g (t ) d t  G(0)


 G( f ) d f  g (0)


3) Time Scaling

If g1(t)↔G1(f) then g1 ( t)  G 

4) Time Shift and Frequency Shift
If g1(t)↔G1(f) then
g (t  t 0 )  e j 2 ft0 G  f 
e j 2 f0t g (t)  G  f f0 
5) Duality
Since the constitutive relationships for the Fourier transformation pair are very similar in nature,
there is an interesting property of duality between them:
g(t)↔G1(f) then G(t)↔g(-f) and G(-t)↔g(f)

6) Conjugate Functions
If g(t)↔G (f) then g*(t)↔G* (-f)and g*(-t)↔G* (f)

A signal g(t) is called conjugate symmetric if g(-t)= g*(t). If g(t) is a real signal then this leads to
g(-t)=g(t) and g(t) is then called an even function.

Similarly, g(t) is called conjugate anti-symmetric if g(-t)= -g*(t). If g(t) is a real signal then this
leads to g(-t)=-g(t) and g(t) is then called an odd function.

7) Multiplication in Time domain and Multiplication in Transform domain

Limitation of Fourier Transformation: Convergence Issues

As discussed earlier the main criteria for a signal to have a legitimate Fourier transformation is
thet te function must be absolutely integrable. Often there are functions that do not satisfy such
criteria. This has also been indicated in examples.

This gives rise to the idea of Laplace transformation wherein an additional attenuating
exponential factor is introduced to make the overall function integrable .

Introduction of Laplace transformation

Let f(t) be a given function that is defined for all t≥0. The Laplace transformation of f(t) written
as F(s) is represented as


L( f (t ))  F (s)   f (t ) e st dt
0

where s    j

The inverse Laplace transformation of F(s) can be written as


1  j 

This is a complex inversion integral where the path of integration is along the vertical line s   1

A Linear Time Invariant system is one which satisfies the condition of linearity and shift

Linearity: If the inputs f1(t) and f2(t) into the system generates the outputs y1(t) and y2(t)
respectively, then the sytem is linear if and input af1(t)+bf2(t) generates an output ay1(t)+by2(t).

considered to be time invariant if an input f(t-t0) generates an output y(t-t0).

Response of an LTI system to an impulse input (Impulse response)

Impulse functions have a great importance in solving arbitrary differential equations as they
implicitly represent the excitation of the system with all possible frequencies (since the
Laplace/Fourier transformation of an impulse is a constant function).

This utility of the impulse inputs are readily imported onto the analysis of arbitrary systems. To
understand the output of an arbitrary system to arbitrary inputs, first the system is excited with an
impulse. The output of the system with an impulse as input is called the Impulse Response.

Analysis and characterization of an LTI system using Laplace Transformation : Evaluation


of impulse response and transfer function using Laplace transformation

Since the convolution integral is simplified to a simple multiplication in the frequency domain,
the Laplace transformation finds a great deal of application in calculating the impulse response
of a system from the set of input and output to the system using

Y (s)
H (s) 
X (s)

where X(s) and Y(s) are respectively the Laplace transformations of the input x(t) and output y(t)
of the system. H(s) here is known as the Transfer function of the system. This is basically the
impulse response of the system.

The impulse response in time domain if needed can be calculated by inverse Laplace
transformation of the system transfer function.

The same procedure can be applied to calculate the output of the system if the impulse response
is known beforehand.

This is calculated as

Problem 10.1 Radar range for an object can be calculated by transmitting an Radio Frequency
(RF) pulse and calculating the round trip time delay for the echo of the pulse to return to the
radar. Let the transmitted RF pulse be given by

x(t)  sin(c t) for 0  t  T0


0 otherwise

As shown in the figure below.

Suppose we transmit an impulse from the radar to determine the impulse response of the round
trip propagation to the target. The impulse is delayed in time and attenuated in amplitude, which
results in the impulse response h(t)=aδ(t-β) where a denote the attenuation factor and β indicate
the round trip delay. Use the convolution of x(t) with h(t) to verify this result.

116 | Page Study Material, IEM, ECE Department


Paper Name: Signals and Systems Paper Code: EC 303

Problem 10.2 In the previous example the target range is determined by estimating the time
delay β from the received signal r(t). In principle, this may be accomplished by measuring the
onset time of the received pulse. However, in practice the received signal is contaminated with
noise and may be weak. For this reasons, the time delay is determined by passing the received
signal through an LTI system commonly referred to as a matched filter. An important property of
this system is that it optimally discriminates against certain types of noise in the received
waveform. The impulse response of the matched filter is a reflected or time reversed version of
the transmitted signal x(t). i.e.,

hm (t)   sin(c t) for -T0  t  0


0 otherwise

As shown in fig below. The terminology matched filter refers to the fact that the impulse
response of the radar received is matched to the transmitted signal. To estimate the time delay of
the matched filter op we evaluate the convolution y(t)=r(t)*h(t).

SIGNALS:-
A signal is defined as any physical quantity that varies with time, space or any other independent variable.
It can be a function of one or more independent variable. E.g. speech, EEG, ECG etc.

Classification of Signals:-
III. Continuous Time Signals:- The signals that are defined for every instant of time are known as
continuous time signals. They are denoted as x(t)
IV. Discrete Time Signals:- The signals that are defined at discrete instants of time are known as
discrete-time signals. The discrete- time signals are continuous in amplitude and discrete in time.
They are denoted by x(n)
V. Deterministic Signals:- A deterministic signal is a signal exhibiting no uncertainty of value at
any given instant of time. Its instantaneous value can be accurately predicted by mathematical
equation. E.g. x1(n)=sin(0.1πn)
VI. Random Signals:- A random signal is a signal is characterized by uncertainty before its actual
occurrence. E.g. Noise

SYSTEMS:-

120 | Page Study Material, IEM, ECE Department


Paper Name: Signals and Systems Paper Code: EC 303

A system can be defined as a physical device that generates a response or output signal, for a given input
signal. The relationship between input x(t) and corresponding output y(t) of the system has the form

y(t)= operation on x(t)

Mathematically,

y(t)=T |x(t)|

Types of Systems:-

I. Continuous Time System:- A continuous time system is one which operates on a continuous
time- signal and produces a continuous- time output signal. If the input and output of the
continuous time systems are x(t) and y(t).
II. Discrete Time System:- A discrete time system is one which operates on a discrete time signal
and produces a discrete time output signal. It can be written as y(n)=T|x(n)|

The input/output representation of a system can be divided into four types:-

 The input/output differential equation(for continuous time signal) and difference equation(for
discrete time signals)
 The convolution model
 The Fourier transforms representation.
 The system function representation.

Lecture 5(1 Hour) : Laplace transformation.

Topics Covered: Laplace transformation

Prerequisites: Fourier Transformation:

Objectives: Students will understand and analyze fundamental principles and key concepts
of Laplace transformation

Limitation of Fourier Transformation: Convergence Issues

As discussed earlier the main criteria for a signal to have a legitimate Fourier transformation is
thet te function must be absolutely integrable. Often there are functions that do not satisfy such
criteria. This has also been indicated in examples.

This gives rise to the idea of Laplace transformation wherein an additional attenuating
exponential factor is introduced to make the overall function integrable .

Introduction of Laplace transformation

Let f(t) be a given function that is defined for all t≥0. The Laplace transformation of f(t) written
as F(s) is represented as


L( f (t ))  F (s)   f (t ) e st dt
0

where s    j

Inverse Laplace transformation

The inverse Laplace transformation of F(s) can be written as


1  j 
1
2 j  
f (t)  F ( s) e st ds
1 j

This is a complex inversion integral where the path of integration is along the vertical line s   1
from    to  . This contour of integration is also known as the Bromwich Path.

Paper Name: Signals and Systems Paper Code: EC 303

Important Features:

 A digital system is stable if all its poles lie within the unit circle in the z-plane.
 That means that the POLE must be within the unit circle!
 In general, to test stability for digital systems, just check that all the poles are
within the unit circle. If any are not, then the system is unstable. We have not
proved this exactly, but you can get the picture. The proof is almost identical to
what we did using the Analogue system Transfer Functions.
