2. 6 - 2 Signals A function, e.g. sin(t) in continuous-time or sin(2  n / 10) in discrete-time, useful in analysis A sequence of numbers, e.g. {1,2,3,2,1} which is a sampled triangle function, useful in simulation A collection of properties, e.g. even, causal, and stable, useful in reasoning about behavior A piecewise representation, e.g. A functional, e.g.  (t)

3. 6 - 3 Kronecker Impulse (Function) Let  [n] be a discrete-time impulse function, a.k.a. the Kronecker delta function: Impulse response h[n]: response of a discrete- time LTI system to a discrete impulse function n [n][n] 1

4. 6 - 4 T{} y(t)y(t)x(t)x(t) y[n]y[n]x[n]x[n] Systems Systems operate on signals to produce new signals or new signal representations Single-input one-dimensional continuous-time systems are commonly represented in two ways As operators As block diagrams

5. 6 - 5 System Properties Let x[n], x 1 [n], and x 2 [n] be inputs to a linear system and let y[n], y 1 [n], and y 2 [n] be their corresponding outputs A linear system satisfies Additivity: x 1 [n] + x 2 [n]  y 1 [n] + y 2 [n] Homogeneity:  x[n]   y[n] for any constant  Let x[n] be the input to time-invariant system and y[n] be its corresponding output. Then, x[n - m]  y[n - m], for any integer m

6. 6 - 6 Sampling Many signals originate as continuous-time signals, e.g. conventional music or voice By sampling a continuous-time signal at isolated, equally-spaced points in time, we obtain a sequence of numbers n  {…, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2,…} T s is the sampling period.

8. 6 - 8 Generating Discrete-Time Signals Uniformly sampling a continuous-time signal –Obtain x[n] = x(n T s ) for -  < n < . –How to choose T s ? Using a formula –x[n] = n 2 – 5n + 3, for n  0 would give the samples {3, -1, -3, -3, -1, 3,...} –We really do not know what the sequence looks like in continuous time because we do not have a sampling period associated with it n stem plot
