1. Discrete-Time Signals Week 2

2. Continuous-Time Versus Discrete-Time Signals Continuous-time signal: a signal defined by a function of a continuous-time variable. Discrete-time Signal: a signal defined by specifying the value of the signal only at discrete times, called sampling instants.

4. Distinction between Discrete- Time and Quantized Signals Quantized Signal: A quantized signal is one whose values may assume only a countable number of values, or levels, but the changes from level to level may occur at any time.

5. Periodic and Aperiodic Signals Periodic: a signal x(t) is periodic if and only if x(t+T 0 )=x(t), -  <t<  (1) where the constant T 0 is the period. Aperiodic: Any deterministic signal not satisfying (1) is called aperiodic.

11. Energy and Power Signals Total energy Average power 1. X(t) is an energy signal if and only if 0<E< , so that P=0. 2. X(t) is an power signal if and only if 0<P< , thus implying that E= . 3. Signals that satisfy neither property are therefore neither energy nor power signals.
