Signals and Systems Lecture No.01 Course Introduction & Basic Definitions Engr. Muhammad Waseem Zeeshan Ashrafi Why this course? This course deals with the fundamental principles of signals and systems theory. Aim of this course is to equip the students with the concepts and techniques of performing time-domain and frequency-domain analysis of signals and systems, laying the foundation for courses like “Communication Systems’, ‘Linear Control Systems” and ‘Digital Signal Processing’. Course Objectives: The course objectives are to: a) Equip the students with a thorough understanding of the types and fundamental principles of signals and systems. b) Develop students’ mathematical and analytical skills required to analyze continuous-time (CT) signals and systems in both time- and frequency-domains. ©) Introduce students to analysis of discrete-time (D1) signals and systems Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs): By the end of this course, student should be able to demonstrate the following: 1. Perform CT/ DT Signal Transformations like time-shifting, time-reversal, signal compression; solve CT/ DI Convolution and Correlation; Calculate z-Transform and inverse z-Transform for DT functions. 2. Perform modelling of CT / DT Linear Time Invariant (LTD systems using impulse response function and differential / difference equation. 3. Analyze the transformation of a CT signal through CT LTI system using frequency domain methods; apply filtering, 4, Simulations of different signals and their transforms with application using modern platform and softvare tools.

Examples of signals: Electrical signals Voltages and currents in a circuit Acoustic signals “Acoustic pressure (sound) over time Mechanical signals Velocity of a car over time Video signals ~intensity level of a pixel (camera, video) over time Classification of Signals: Definition and classification of signals (1) Continuous /Discrete time Signals: Continuous-Time Signals: A signal is a continuous signal, if the independentvariable ‘t’ is continuous over total interval. A continuous signal may be denoted by x(t). y(t). m(t). w,(t), w2(t), ete x(t) = cos(t) xt aS x = 5 Sin) Definition and classification of signals (1) Continuous /Discrete time Signals: Continuous-Time Signal. + Examples: Signals in cars and circuits, e.g. velocity, voltage, current, pressure, temperature et. + Signals described by differential equations, e-g., dy/dt = ay(t) + bi) + Signal itself could have jumps (discontinuities) in magnitude y(t) “a Definition and classification of signals Discrete-Time Signal. A signal is a discrete signal if the independentvariable ‘n’ is unconnected over total interval. A discrete signal is denoted by x[n] or {X,}. where n is an integer. 1 » fit 0123456789 SPST Tee: Examples of DT signals: x(n] Le ov Daily closing index of stock market Daily number of accidents on a highway Temperature of a patient after each hour Average height of students in each section of 4" semester in UIT Etc. Definition and classification of signals + To distinguish between continuous-time and discrete-time signals, we will use the symbol ¢ to denote the continuous-time independent variable and to denote the discrete time independent variable. * In addition, for continuous-time signals we will enclose the independent variable in parentheses (_), whereas for discrete-time signals we will use brackets [ ] to enclose the independent variable. * We will also have frequent occasions when it will be useful to represent signals graphically, x 2 Graphical representations of (a) continuous-time and (b) discrete-time signals. Classification of Signals: Definition and classification of signals (2) Analog /Digital Signals: Analog Signals: Ifa signal x(t) can take-on any value in continuous interval (a,b) where ‘a’ may be —c infinity and b may be +0. Then, signal is called analogsignal. Analog Ampinide Time Definition and classification of signals Digital Signal: If a signal can take on only a finite number of different values, then signal is called digital signal 2) f HH ALP UL UL Digital signal t
