2. 2 1.1 Discrete-Time Signals There are basically two types of discrete time signals: –Sampled-data signals in which samples are continuous-valued –digital signals in which samples are discrete-valued Digital signals are obtained by quantizing the sample values either by rounding or truncation

3. 3 Discrete-Time Signals Signals are represented as sequences of numbers, called samples A sample value of a typical signal or sequence is denoted as x[n] with n being an integer in the range x[n] is defined only for integer values of n and is undefined for non-integer values of n Discrete-time signal represented by {x[n]}

4. 4 Discrete-Time Signals Discrete-time signal may also be written as a sequence of numbers inside braces: x[n]={…,-0.2, 2.2,1.1,0.2,-0.7,2.9,…} In the above, x[-1]=-0.2, x[0]=2.2 x[1]=1.1 etc. The arrow is placed under the sample at time index n = 0

5. 5 Discrete-Time Signals The graphical representation of a discrete time signal with real-valued samples is as shown below:

6. 6 Discrete-Time Signals In some applications, a discrete-time sequence {x[n]} may be generated by periodically sampling a continuous-time signal x a (t) at uniform time intervals

7. 7 Discrete-Time Signals Here, n-th sample is given by: x[n]= x a (t)| t=nT= x a (nT), n=…,-2,-1,0,1,… The spacing T between two consecutive samples is called the sampling interval or sampling period Reciprocal of sampling interval T, denoted as F T is called sampling frequency: F T =1/T

8. 8 Discrete-Time Signals Whether or not the sequence {x[n]} has been obtained by sampling, the quantity, x[n] is called the n-th sample of the sequence {x[n]} is a real sequence, if the n-th sample x[n] is real for all values of n Otherwise, {x[n]} is a complex sequence

9. 9 Discrete-Time Signals A complex sequence {x[n]} can be written as {x[n]}={x re [n]+jx im [n]} where x re [n] and x im [n] are the real and imaginary parts of x[n] The complex conjugate sequence of {x[n]} is given by {x*[n]}={x re [n]- jx im [n]} Often the braces are ignored to denote a sequence if there is no ambiguity

10. 10 Discrete-Time Signals A discrete-time signal may be a finite length or an infinite-length sequence Finite-length (also called finite-duration or finite-extent) sequence is defined only for a finite time interval: where: with Length or duration of the above finite length sequence is N=N 2 -N 1 +1

11. 11 Discrete-Time Signals Examples: x[n]= n 2, is a finite-length sequence of length 8 y[n]=cos(0.4n) is an infinite-length sequence

12. 12 Discrete-Time Signals A length-N sequence is often referred to as an N-point sequence The length of a finite-length sequence can be increased by zero-padding, ie: by appending it with zeros

13. 13 Discrete-Time Signals Example: is a finite-length sequence of length-12 obtained by zero-padding the sequence with 4 zero-valued samples

14. 14 Discrete-Time Signals A right-sided sequence x[n] has zero valued samples for If a right-sided sequence is called a causal sequence

15. 15 Discrete-Time Signals A left-sided sequence x[n] has zero-valued samples for If a left-sided sequence is called a anti-causal sequence

16. 16 1.2 Operations on Sequences A single-input, single-output discrete-time system operates on a sequence, called the input sequence, according some prescribed rules and develops another sequence, called the output sequence, with more desirable properties

17. 17 Operations on Sequences For example, the input may be a signal corrupted with additive noise Discrete-time system is designed to generate an output by removing the noise component from the input In most cases, the operation defining a particular discrete-time system is composed of some basic operations that we describe next:

18. 18 Basic Operations Product (modulation) operation: y[n]=x[n].w[n] Modulator: An application is in forming a finite-length sequence from an infinite-length sequence by multiplying with a window sequence This process is usually called windowing

19. 19 Basic Operations Addition operation: y[n]=x[n]+w[n] Adder: Multiplication operation: y[n] = A.x[n] Multiplier:

20. 20 Basic Operations Time-shifting operation: y[n] = x[n − N], where N is an integer If N > 0, it is delaying operation e.g. unit delay: y[n] = x[n −1] If N < 0, it is an advance operation, e.g. unit advance: y[n] = x[n +1]

21. 21 Basic Operations Time-reversal operation: y[n] = x[−n] Branching operation: Used to provide multiple copies of a sequence

22. 22 Basic Operations Example: Consider the two following sequences of length 5 defined for 0 ≤ n ≤ 4 : {a[n]}={3 4 6 − 90} {b[n]}={2 −1 4 5 −3} New sequences generated from the above two sequences by applying the basic operations are as follows:

23. 23 Basic Operations {c[n]}= {a[n] ⋅ b[n]}= {6 − 4 24 − 450} {d[n]}= {a[n]+ b[n]}= {5 3 10 − 4 −3} {e[n]}={4.5 6 9 13.50} As pointed out by the above examples, operations on two or more sequences can be carried out if all sequences involved are of same length and defined for the same range of the time index n

24. 24 Basic Operations However if the sequences are not of same length, in some situations, this problem can be circumvented by appending zero-valued samples to the sequence(s) of smaller lengths to make all sequences have the same range of the time index Example: Consider the sequence of length 3 defined for 0 ≤ n ≤ 2 :{f [n]}= {− 2 1 −3}

25. 25 Basic Operations We cannot add the length-3 sequence to the length-5 sequence {a[n]} defined earlier We therefore first append {f [n]} with 2 zero-valued samples resulting in a length-5 sequence {f e [n]}= {− 2 1 − 3 0 0} Then {g[n]} ={a[n]}+{f e [n]} ={1 5 3 − 9 0}

26. 26 Combinations of Basic Operations Example: y[n] =α1x[n]+α 2x[n −1]+α3x[n − 2]+α4x[n − 3]

27. 27 1.3 Classification of Sequences Based on Symmetry Conjugate-symmetric sequence: x[n] = x*[−n] If x[n] is real, then it is an even sequence An Even Sequence

28. 28 Classification of Sequences Based on Symmetry Conjugate-antisymmetric sequence: x[n] = −x*[−n] If x[n] is real, then it is an odd sequence An Odd Sequence

29. 29 Classification of Sequence Based on Symmetry It follows from the definition that for a conjugate-symmetric sequence {x[n]}, x[0] must be a real number Likewise, it follows from the definition that for a conjugate-antisymmetric sequence {y[n]}, y[0] must be an imaginary number From the above, it also follows that for an odd sequence {w[n]}, w[0] = 0

30. 30 Classification of Sequences Based on Symmetry Any complex sequence can be expressed as a sum of its conjugate-symmetric part and its conjugate-antisymmetric part, if the parent sequence is of odd length defined for a symmetric interval, −M ≤ 0 ≤ M: x[n] = x cs [n]+x ca [n] where x cs [n]=1/2(x[n]+x*[-n]) x ca [n]=1/2(x[n]-x*[-n])

31. 31 Classification of Sequences Based on Symmetry Example: Consider the complex length-7 sequence defined for − 3 ≤ n ≤ 3: {g[n]} = {0, 1+ j4, −2+ j3, 4− j2, −5− j6, −j2,3} Its conjugate sequence is then given by: {g*[n]} = {0, 1− j4, −2− j3, 4+ j2, −5+ j6, j2,3} The time-reversed version of the above is: {g*[−n]} = {3, j2, −5+ j6, 4+ j2, −2− j3,1−j4,0}

32. 32 Classification of Sequences Based on Symmetry Therefore {g cs [n]}=1/2{g[n]+ g *[−n]} ={1.5, 0.5+ j3, −3.5+ j4.5, 4, −3.5− j4.5, 0.5− j3, 1.5} Likewise {g ca [n]}=1/2 {g[n]− g *[−n]} ={−1.5, 0.5+ j, 1.5− j1.5, − j2, −1.5− j1.5, −0.5− j, 1.5} It can be easily verified that g cs [n]= gcs*[-n]= and g ca [n] = − gca*[-n]

33. 33 Classification of Sequences: Periodic and Aperiodic Signals A sequence x[n] satisfying: x[n]=x[n+kN] is called a periodic sequence with a period N where N is a positive integer and k is any integer Smallest value of N satisfying x[n]=x[n+kN] is called the fundamental period

34. 34 Classification of Sequences: Periodic and Aperiodic Signals Example: Periodic sequence with period N=7 A sequence not satisfying the periodicity condition is called an aperiodic sequence

35. 35 Classification of Sequences: Energy and Power Signals The total energy of a sequence x[n] is defined by: An infinite length sequence with finite sample values may or may not have finite energy A finite length sequence with finite sample values has finite energy

36. 36 Classification of Sequences: Energy and Power Signals The average power of an aperiodic sequence is defined by: Now, we define the energy of a sequence x[n] over a finite interval − K ≤ n ≤ K as:

37. 37 Classification of Sequences: Energy and Power Signals Then, the average power is: The average power of a periodic sequence x[n] with a period N is given by: The average power of an infinite-length sequence may be finite or infinite

38. 38 Classification of Sequences: Energy and Power Signals Example: Consider the causal sequence defined by: x[n] has infinite energy and its average power is given by:

39. 39 Classification of Sequences: Energy and Power Signals An infinite energy signal with finite average power is called a power signal Example: A periodic sequence which has a finite average power but infinite energy A finite energy signal with zero average power is called an energy signal Example: A finite-length sequence which has finite energy but zero average power:

40. 40 Classification of Sequences: Other Types of Classifications A sequence x[n] is said to be bounded if each of its samples is of magnitude less than or equal to a finite positive number B x, i.e., Example: The sequence x[n]=cos(0.3πn) is a bounded sequence as: |x[n]| = |cos0.3πn| ≤1

41. 41 Classification of Sequences: Other Types of Classifications A sequence x[n] is said to be absolutely summable if: Example: is an absolutely summable sequence as:

42. 42 1.4 Some Basic Sequences Unit sample sequence: Unit step sequence:

43. 43 Some Basic Sequences Unit impulse and unit step sequence shifted by k samples: Relations between the unit sample and the step sequence:

44. 44 Some Basic Sequences Real sinusoidal sequence: x[n] = Asin(ω o n + φ) where A is the amplitude, ωo is the angular frequency, and is the phase of x[n] Example:

45. 45 Some Basic Sequences Exponential sequence: x[n] = Aα n, − ∞ < n < ∞ where A and α are real or complex numbers If we write: then we can express: where:

46. 46 Some Basic Sequences x [n] of a complex exponential sequence are real sinusoidal sequences with constant (σo= 0), growing (σo > 0) or decaying (σo 0 Example: x[n] exp(-1/12+jπ/6)n

47. 47 Some Basic Sequences Real exponential sequence: x[n] =Aα n, −∞ < n < ∞ where A and α are real numbers. Example:

48. 48 Some Basic Sequences The sinusoidal sequence Asin(ωon + φ) and the complex exponential sequence Bexp( jωon) are periodic sequences of period N as long as ωoN = 2πr where N and r are positive integers The smallest possible value of N satisfying ωoN = 2πr is the fundamental period

49. 49 Some Basic Sequences If 2π/ω o is a noninteger rational number, then the period will be a multiple of 2π/ω o Otherwise, the sequence is aperiodic Example: x[n] = sin( 3n + φ) is aperiodic even though it has a sinusoidal envelope

50. 50 Some Basic Sequences Example: Period of Acos(ω o n + φ) ω o = 0.1π Period N=2πr/0.1π=20 for r=1

51. 51 Some Basic Sequences Representation of an arbitrary sequence: An arbitrary sequence can be represented as a weighted sum of some basic sequence and its delayed (advanced) versions. Example:

52. 52 1.5 The Sampling Process Often, a sequence x[n] is developed by sampling a continuous-time signal x a (t) The relation between the two signals is:

53. 53 The Sampling Process The time variable t of the continuous-time signal is related to the time variable n of the discrete-time signal x[n] only at discrete- time instants t n given by: With F T =1/T denoting the sampling frequency and Ω T = 2π F T denoting the sampling angular frequency

54. 54 The Sampling Process Consider the continuous-time signal x(t) = Acos(2πfot + φ) = Acos(Ωot + φ) The corresponding discrete-time signal is: Where: ωo = 2πΩo /ΩT = ΩoT is the normalized digital angular frequency of x[n]

55. 55 The Sampling Process If the unit of the sampling period T is in seconds, then: -the unit of the analog frequency f 0 is hertz -the unit of the normalized analog angular frequency Ω0 is radians/second - the unit of the normalized digital angular frequency ωo is radians/sample

56. 56 The Sampling Process Example: Determine the discrete-time signal v[n] obtained by uniformly sampling at a sampling rate of 200 Hz the continuous time signal: v(t)=6cos(60πt)+2cos(100 πt)+10sin(140 πt) composed of a weighted sum of 3 sinusoidal signals of frequencies 30Hz, 50 Hz, and 70Hz

57. 57 1.6 Discrete-Time Systems A discrete-time system processes a given input sequence x[n] to generates an output sequence y[n] with more desirable properties In most applications, the discrete-time system is a single-input, single-output system:

58. 58 Discrete-Time Systems: Examples Examples of 2-input, 1-output discrete-time systems are e.g. the modulator and the adder Examples of 1-input, 1-output discrete-time systems are e.g. the multiplier, the unit delay, the unit advance and the discrete-time system as shown earlier:

59. 59 Discrete-Time Systems: Examples Up-sampling– process of increasing the sampling rate of a signal. Eg Application: Up-sampling image data such as photograph means increase the resolution of the photograph. Down-Sampling-also known as sub-sampling means process of reducing the sampling rate of a signal Eg Application: Down-sampling to reduce the data rate or the size of the data

60. 60 1.7 Classification of Discrete-Time Systems Classification of discrete-time systems: -Linear Systems -Shift-Invariant Systems -Causal Systems -Stable Systems -Passive and Lossless Systems

61. 61 Linear Systems Linear systems have the property that if: x 1 [n]  y 1 [n] and x 2 [n]  y 2 [n], then: x[n]=αx 1 [n]+ßx 2 [n]  y[n]= αy 1 [n]+ßy 2 [n] If input consists of a sum of scaled sequences, then the corresponding output is a sum of scaled outputs corresponding to the individual input sequences

62. 62 α x1[n] y1[n] w[n] x2[n] y2[n] ß x1[n] α x[n] y[n] x2[n] ß System X X + X X + w[n]=y[n] when system is linear!

63. 63 Shift-Invariant Systems A discrete time system is said to be time invariance if an input is delayed(shifted) by n 0, the output is delayed(shifted) by the same amount: x[n-n 0 ]  y[n-n 0 ] Eg: Test the sequence below if they are time invariant or not: 1)y[n]=(x[n]) 2 2)y[n]=x[-n] 3)y[n]=nx[n]

64. 64 Shift-Invariant Systems Illustration of the up-sampling operation:

65. 65 Linear Time-Invariant Systems Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) System: A system satisfying both the linearity and the time-invariance property is called a LTI system LTI systems are mathematically easy to analyze and characterize, and consequently, easy to design Highly useful signal processing algorithms have been developed utilizing this class of systems over the last several decades

66. 66 Causal Systems In a causal system, the n-th output sample y[n 0 ] depends only on input samples x[n] for n ≤ no and does not depend on input samples for n > no Simply speaking, for a causal system, changes in output samples do not precede changes in the input samples

67. 67 Causal Systems Examples of causal systems: 1) discrete-time system given earlier: Example of a non-causal system: factor-of-2 interpolator: y[n]=x u [n]+1/2{x u [n-1]+x u [n+1]}

68. 68 Stable Systems There are various definitions of stability We consider here the bounded-input, bounded-output (BIBO) stability If y[n] is the response to an input x[n] and if: |x[n]|≤B x for all values of n, then: |y[n]|≤B y for all values of n, where Bx and By are finite constants

69. 69 Convolution and LTI System From LTI system below, impulse response h[n] is simply the output when the input is unit impulse sequence δ[n] Any signal x[n] can be represented as sum of scaled and shifted impulse signals:

70. 70 Convolution and LTI System x[n] is a representation of linear combination of scaled, shifted impulses. Since LTI systems respond in simple and predictable ways to sum of signals and to shifted signals, this representation is particularly useful for deriving a general formula of LTI system From figure, response to input δ[n] is by definition the impulse response h[n] Time Invariance gives information response due to δ[n-1] is h[n-1]

71. 71 Convolution and LTI System Therefore we can write the whole family of input-output pairs: δ[n]  h[n] δ[n-1]  h[n-1] δ[n-2]  h[n-2] δ[n-l]  h[n-l] Now we are in position to use linearity, because x[n] express a general input signal as a linear combination of shifted impulse signals

72. 72 Convolution and LTI System x[0]δ[n]  x[0]h[n] x[1]δ[n-1]  x[1]h[n-1] x[2]δ[n-2]  x[2]h[n-2] x[l]δ[n-l]  x[l]h[n-l] The we use superposition to put it all together: CONVOLUTION SUM OR

73. 73 Convolution and LTI System Properties of the Convolution Sum: 1) Commutative property: x[n] * h[n] = h[n] * x[n] 2) Associative property: (x[n] * h[n]) * y[n] = x[n] * (h[n] * y[n]) 3) Distributive property: x[n] * (h[n] + y[n]) = x[n] * h[n] + x[n] * y[n]

74. 74 Convolution and LTI System Computation of the Convolution Sum: 1) Time-reverse h[k] to form h[−k] 2) Shift h[−k] to the right by n sampling periods if n > 0 or shift to the left by n sampling periods if n < 0 to form h[n − k] 3) Form the product v[k] = x[k]h[n − k] 4) Sum all samples of v[k] to develop the n-th sample of y[n] of the convolution sum

75. 75 Convolution and LTI System Schematic Representation of Convolution: The computation of an output sample using the convolution sum is simply a sum of products Involves fairly simple operations such as additions, multiplications, and delays

76. 76 Convolution and LTI System In practice, if either the input or the impulse response is of finite length, the convolution sum can be used to compute the output sample as it involves a finite sum of products If both the input sequence and the impulse response sequence are of finite length, the output sequence is also of finite length

77. 77 Convolution and LTI System If both the input sequence and the impulse response sequence are of infinite length, the convolution sum cannot be used to compute the output For systems characterized by an infinite impulse response sequence, an alternate time-domain description involving a finite sum of products will be considered

78. 78 Convolution and LTI System Example: Develop the sequence y[n] generated by the convolution of the sequences x[n] and h[n] shown below

79. 79 Convolution and LTI System-Method 1

80. 80 Time-Domain Characterization of LTI Discrete-Time Systems The sequence {y[n]} generated by the convolution sum is shown below:

81. 81 Time-Domain Characterization of LTI Discrete-Time Systems In general, if the lengths of the two sequences being convolved are M and N, then the sequence generated by the convolution is of length M + N −1 Convolution Using MATLAB The M-file conv implements the convolution sum of two finite-length sequences

82. 82 Time-Domain Characterization of LTI Discrete-Time Systems Convolution Using MATLAB Example: a = [− 2 0 1 −1 3]; b = [1 2 0 -1]; Then conv(a,b) yields: [−2 −4 1 3 1 5 1 −3]

83. 83 Simple Interconnection Schemes of LTI Systems Two simple interconnection schemes of LTI systems are: 1) Cascade Connection 2) Parallel Connection They are widely used for developing complex LTI systems from simple LTI system sections

84. 84 Simple Interconnection Schemes of LTI Systems Cascade Connection Impulse response h[n] of the cascade of two LTI discrete time systems with impulse responses h1[n] and h2[n] is given by: h[n] = h1[n] * h2[n]

85. 85 Simple Interconnection Schemes of LTI Systems Note: The ordering of the systems in the cascade has no effect on the overall impulse response because of the commutative property of convolution A cascade connection of two stable systems is stable

86. 86 Simple Interconnection Schemes of LTI Systems Parallel Connection Impulse response h[n] of the parallel connection of two LTI discrete-time systems with impulse responses h 1 [n] and h 2 [n] is given by: h[n]=h 1 [n]+h 2 [n]

87. 87 Simple Interconnection Schemes of LTI Systems Consider the LTI discrete-time system where:

88. 88 Simple Interconnection Schemes of LTI Systems Simplifying the block-diagram we obtain:

89. 89 Simple Interconnection Schemes of LTI Systems Overall impulse response h[n] is given by: h[n] = h1[n]+ h2[n] * (h3[n]+h4[n]) = h1[n]+ h2[n]*h3[n]+h2[n]*h4[n] Now:

90. 90 Simple Interconnection Schemes of LTI Systems

91. 91 Finite-Dimensional LTI Discrete-Time Systems An important subclass of LTI discrete-time systems is characterized by a linear constant coefficient difference equation of the form: x[n] and y[n] are respectively the input and output of the system {p k } and {x k } are constants characterizing the system

92. 92 Finite-Dimensional LTI Discrete-Time Systems The order of the LTI system is given by max(N, M), which is the order of the difference equation It is possible to implement an LTI system characterized by a constant coefficient difference equation as here the computation involves two finite sums of products even though such a system, in general, has an impulse response of infinite length

93. 93 Finite-Dimensional LTI Discrete-Time Systems If we assume the system to be causal, then the output y[n] can be recursively computed using: provided d0 ≠0

94. 94 Classification of LTI Discrete-Time Systems The output y[n] of an FIR LTI discrete-time system can be computed directly from the convolution sum as it is a finite sum of products Examples of FIR LTI discrete-time systems are the moving-average system and the linear interpolators

95. 95 Classification of LTI Discrete-Time Systems If the impulse response is of infinite length, then it is known as an infinite impulse response (IIR) discrete-time system For a causal IIR system with a causal input x[n], the convolution sum can be expressed in the form: This convolution sum can be used to compute the output samples

96. 96 Classification of LTI Discrete-Time Systems Based on Impulse Response Length If h[n] is of finite length,Eg: h[n] = 0 for n N2, N1 < N2 then it is known as a finite impulse response (FIR) discrete-time system The convolution sum reduces to:

97. 97 Classification of LTI Discrete-Time Systems Based on the Output Calculation Process Nonrecursive System: Here the output can be calculated sequentially, knowing only the present and past input samples Recursive System: Here the output computation involves past output samples in addition to the present and past input samples

98. 98 Correlation of Signals There are applications where it is necessary to compare one reference signal with one or more signals to determine the similarity between the pair and to determine additional information based on the similarity

99. 99 Correlation of Signals Example: In radar and sonar applications, the received signal reflected from the target is the delayed version of the transmitted signal and by measuring the delay, one can determine the location of the target The detection problem gets more complicated in practice, as often the received signal is corrupted by additive random noise

100. 100 Correlation of Signals Definitions A measure of similarity between a pair of energy signals, x[n] and y[n], is given by the cross-correlation sequence rxy[l] defined by: l=0,+1, +2,… The parameter l called lag, indicates the time- shift between the pair of signals

101. 101 Correlation of Signals y[n] is said to be shifted by l samples to the right with respect to the reference sequence x[n] for positive values of l, and shifted by l samples to the left for negative values of l The ordering of the subscripts xy in the definition of rxy[l] specifies that x[n] is the reference sequence which remains fixed in time while y[n] is being shifted with respect to x[n]

102. 102 Correlation of Signals The autocorrelation sequence of x[n] is given by obtained by setting y[n] = x[n] in the above definition of the cross-correlation sequence r xy [l]

103. 103 Correlation of Signals An examination of the expression for the cross-correlation reveals that it looks quite similar to that of the linear convolution This similarity is much clearer if we rewrite the expression for the cross-correlation as:

104. 104 Correlation of Signals The cross-correlation of y[n] with the reference signal x[n] can be computed by processing x[n] with an LTI discrete-time system of impulse response y[-n]

105. 105 Correlation Computation Using MATLAB The cross-correlation and autocorrelation sequences can easily be computed using MATLAB, xcorr
