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.
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 −

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.

Basics of Signals
Objectives: Students will understand and analyze fundamental principles and key concepts

OPERATIONS:
Addition:
Addition of two signals is nothing but addition of their corresponding amplitudes.
This can be best explained by using the following example:
v)Amplitude Reversal:
x(t)→y(t)→−x(t)
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
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)
b) X2(t)=r(t)u(2-t)

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

If each individual values of x(n)are squared and added, we get the energy signal.

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.
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.
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.

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.

Impulse sampling.
Natural 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
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.
NOTE:
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.
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]
Y[ω]=P(ω)Yδ(ω)
Here P(ω)=TSa(ωT/2)=2sinωT/ω

Signal representation
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.
(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
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:
Problem 1.2: What should be the value of ‘A’ for the function y(t) Asin(m0t ) to be

Course Outcomes:
Lecture 2 (1 Hour)
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.
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
f (t) a 0 an cos n0t bn sin n0t
n 1

Here 0 . Using the orthogonal property of the sinusoidal functions the Fourier series coefficients

f (t) cos n0t dt

An alternative representation of the Fourier series is obtained by combining the cosine and the sine terms
together using Euler’s theorem. This form is shown below,

f (t) cn cos nt n
n 0 T
bn
where cn an bn and n tan

The plot of cn and n with respect to n represent the amplitude and phase spectrum of the signal
respectively.
Upon using the Euler’s representation for the real sinusoidal quantities, we obtain the representation using
complex exponentials as

f (t) T

where cn are the complex Fourier series co-efficient. These can be calculated using the orthogonal
property of the complex co-efficient as
2

cn f (t)e T
n
As was in the case with real sinusoids, in case of the complex exponential representation, the plot of
magnitude and phase of cn indicate the amplitude and phase spectra of the signal. There is however one
very important difference between spectra in the two cases . The former was single sided involving real
positive frequencies only while the latter is constituted of both negative and positive frequencies.
Problem 2.2:
Problem 2.3: For the periodic signal xp(t) below, show that the cn sin c nf 0 . Plot the amplitude

Problem 2.4: Determine the Fourier coefficients for the pulse train shown in the figure below for
a=T/2 and a=T/4.
Problem 2.5: The waveform in the figure is known as a sawtooth. For this waveform determine
the Fourier coefficients and plot the amplitude and phase spectra.
It is not always necessary to calculate the Fourier series in the rigorous procedure described in before.
There are certain symmetry properties of the signal that reduce the computational complexity of the
Fourier series coefficients by manifold. These are discussed next,

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,
| f(t ) | dt
0
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.
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

Problem 3.1 Input to a rectifier is A sin(0 t) . Calculate and plot the amplitude and phase
spectra for the out puts in case the rectifier is (a) Half wave rectifier, (b) full wave rectifier.
From the amplitude spectra justify the use of a capacitor to reduce the ripples.
Problem 3.2 Write a MATLAB algorithm to compute the number of terms required to converge
the Fourier series representations for the following functions. (Convergence in this regard would
mean a <5% change in successive iterations). All the signals have a time period of ‘T’. and
amplitude of ‘V’. Consider fa to be an integral of fb.
Plot the first four partial sums for fb and fc to show how the Fourier sum converges.
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.
Problem 3.3 Plot the amplitude and phase spectrum of the following signal for T/a=2, 10, 100.
Problem 3.4 Show that the Fourier series representation of the last problem would eventually
lead to the Fourier integral, (i.e. the summation tends to become integral) in the limit T/a→∞.
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
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.

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 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.

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

system function as H().
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).
Shift/time invariance: If the input to a system f(t) generates an output y(t), then the system can be
considered to be time invariant if an input f(t-t0) generates an output y(t-t0).

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.

y(t) x(t) h(t) x( )h(t ) d h( )x(t ) d
Here x(t) is the input to the system and h(t) is the impulse response of the system.

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
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.
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.,
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).
Problem 10.3 Write a differential equation relating the input x(t) and the output y(t) of the
system shown in the circuit below and find the step response by applying x(t)=u(t). Then use the
step response to obtain the impulse response.

Stability
Just like for analogue systems, a digital system is stable if its impulse response is

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
