time and discrete-time signals. Energy and power
signals. Linear systems. Examples for use throughout
the course, introduction to Matlab and Simulink tools

Specific objectives for this lecture include

 General properties of signals
 Energy and power for continuous & discrete-time signals
 Signal transformations
 Specific signal types
 Representing signals in Matlab and Simulink

1. Energy Signals: have finite total energy for the

entire duration of the signal. As a consequence, total
power in an energy signal is 0.

2. Power Signals: have non-zero (Finite) power over

the entire duration of the signal. As a consequence,
the total energy in a power signal is infinite.

world signals and also from a basis (a building block) for other
signals.
