SIGNAL: REPRESENTATION

Signals are represented as function of one or more


independent variables.
 Any physical phenomenon varies with respect to t
independent variables (e.g. time, space, frequency,
etc.) that can convey information is called signal. y
Some examples of signals are human voice,
electrocardiogram, sign language, videos etc.
 There are several classification of signals such as
Continuous time signal, discrete time signal and
digital signal, random signals and non-random
signals. x
