 Introduction
Signal: A signal mean any variable that carries or
contains some kind of information about the
behavior of a natural or artificial system.

3
 Introduction
Signal Types:
Speech, which we counter for example in
telephony, radio and every day life,
 Biomedical signals, such as the EEG(brain
signals),ECG,EMG,
 Sound and music, such as reported by compact disc
player,
 Video and image, which most people watch on
television, and
 Rader signals, which are used to determine the
rang and bearing of distant targets.

 What is DSP

Digital signal processing(DSP) is concerned with

the digital representation of signals and the use
of digital processors to analyze, modify or
exact information from signals.

Advantages:
 Guaranteed accuracy
 Perfect reproducibility
 No drift in performance with temperature or age
 Greater reliability, smaller size, lower cost, low
power consumption, and higher speed
 Greater flexibility
 Superior performance
