Lecture 5
Representing Signals
Even and Odd Signal
◼ The condition for a signal to be Even is -
𝒙 −𝒕 = 𝒙 𝒕

◼ The condition for a signal to be Odd is -

𝒙 −𝒕 = −𝒙 𝒕

◼ Check whether a signal is even or odd.

◼ Example, 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜔𝑡, 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜔𝑡

◼ Even part of an odd signal = 0

◼ Odd part of an even signal = 0

The Time Scaling Operation
◼ 𝑥 𝑎𝑡 → time axis compressed by ′a′ times
𝑡
◼ 𝑥 → time axis expanded by ′a′ times

Compression
◼ 𝑥 𝑎𝑡 → time axis compressed by ′a′ times
◼ If we think of 𝑥 𝑡 as the output of a video tape
recorder, then 𝑥 3𝑡 is the signal obtained when the
recording is played at three times the speed at
which it was recorded.

Expansion
𝑡
◼ 𝑥 → time axis expanded by ′a′ times
𝑎
◼ If we think of 𝑥 𝑡 as the output of a video tape
𝑡
recorder, then 𝑥 is the signal obtained when the
2
recording is played at half the speed at which it was
recorded.
