eflecting over 37 years of experience in the class room, this comprehensive textbook on
Réserats and Systems is developed to provide a solid grounding in the foundations of
this subject. Using a student-friendly writing style, the text introduces the reader to the
concepts of signals and systems in a simple and lucid manner. The text is suitable for use as
one semester course material by undergraduate students of Electronics and Communication
Engineering, Telecommunication Engineering, Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering,
Electronics and Computers Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science &
Engineering and Electrical and Electronics Engineering. It will also be useful to AMIE and
grad IETE courses.
‘The third edition of this book is organized in 12 chapters. The outline of the book is
as follows:
Signals constitute an important part of our daily life. Standard signals, basic operations
on signals and classification of signals are discussed in Chapter 1. Also operations on signals
and determination of the type of a given signal are illustrated with numerous examples.
A system is defined as an entity that acts on an input signal and transforms it into an
output signal. Classification of the systems is covered in Chapter 2 along with the numerical
examples on determination of the type of a given system.
‘A new problem can be understood very easily when an analogy can be found between
this and a familiar phenomenon. Using concepts of vectors, signal analysis is performed in
Chapter 3.
Periodic signals can be easily analysed using Fourier series. Fourier series
tepresentation of periodic signals in trigonometric form, cosine form and exponential form,
and the conversion from one form to another are devoted to Chapter 4, The properties of
Fourier series and Fourier spectrum are also discussed in this chapter.
Signal analysis becomes very easy in frequency domain. Fourier transform is a

Chapter 5. Hilbert uansformation is also introduced.
Transmission of signals through linear systems
characteristics of linear time invariant systems, distortiontess transmission through linear
time invariant systems, signal bandwidth and system bandwidth, various types of filters and
time domain and frequency domain criterion for physical realizability are described in
Chapter 6.
Convolution and correlation of signals are very important in communication,
Convolution is a mathematical way of combining two signals to form a third signal,
Correlation, which is similar to convolution, compares two signals to determine the degree
of similarity between them, Determination of convolution of two signals by algebraic
method and graphical method, cross correlation and autocorrelation of signals, power
spectral density and energy spectral density are also covered in Chapter 7.
Digital communication is more advantageous as compared to analog one, The process
of converting a continuous-time signal into a discrete-time signal is called sampling,

complicated convolution operation of two sequences in time domain can be converted into a
much simpler operation of multiplication in frequency domain, The DTFT, its properties
and its use in the analysis of signals are discussed in Chapter 12.

4.1. INTRODUCTION
Anything that carries information can be called a signal. Signals constitute an important part
of our daily life. A signal is defined as a single-valued function of one or more independent
variables which contain some information A signal may also be defined as any physical
quantity that varies with time, space or any other independent variable, A signal be
represented in time domain or frequency domain. Human speech is a familiar example of a
signal. Electric current and voltage are also examples of signals. A signal can be a function of
one or more independent variables. A signal may be a function of time, temperature. position,
pressure, distance, ete. If a signal depends on only one independent variabl
one-dimensional signal, and if a signal depends on two independent variables, it is called a
nyo-dimensional signal. In this book we discuss only about one-dimensional signals. [n this
chapter we discuss about various basic signals available, various operations on signals and
classification of signals,
1.2 REPRESENTATION OF DISCRETE-TIME SIGNALS
In general signals may be continuous-time signals or discrete-time sigaals. Continuous-time
signals are defined for all instants of time, whereas discrete-time signals are defined only at
discrete instants of time. Continuous-time signals are represented by x2) and discrete-time
signals are represented by x(n) where rand m are independent variables in time domain.
Continuous-time signals are represented by a function or a graph.
There are four ways of representing discrete-time signals. They are:
1, Graphical representation 2. Functional representation
3. Tabular representation 4, Sequence representation2_|_ Signats and systems
1.2.1 Graphical Representation
Consider a signal x(n) with values
x(3)=2
x(-2)=-3, x(I)=2, x(0)=0, xQ)=3, x(2)=! and
igure 1.1.
This discrete-time signal can be represented graphically as shown in
ane 3
Figure 1.1 Graphical representation of diserete-time signal.
1.2.2 Functional Representation
In this, the amplitude of the signal is written against the values of ». The signal given in 1.2.1
can be represented using functional representation as given below.

1.3 ELEMENTARY SIGNALS
There are several elementary signals which play vital role in the study of signals and systems,
These elementary signals serve as basic building blocks for the construction of more complex
signals. Infact, these elementary signals may be used to model a large aumber of physical
signals which occur in nature. These elementary signals are also called standard signals.
The standard signals are:
1. Unit step function 2. Unit camp function
3. Unit parabolic function 4. Unit impulse function
5. Sinusoidal function 6. Real exponential function
7. Complex exponential function, etc.
1.3.1. Unit Step Function
The step function is an important signal used for analysis of many systems. The step function

If a step function has unity magnitude, then it is called unit step function. The
usefulness of the unitstep function lies in the fact that if we want a signal 10 Sta M1 Oso
that it may have a value of zero for 1 < 0, we only need to multiply the given signal with unjy
step function u(t). A unit step function is useful as a test signal because the response orate
system for a unit step reveals a great deal about how quickly the system responds 10 a sudden
change in the input signal.
The continuous-time unit step function w(t) is defined as:
‘( 1 for 120
N=

From the above equation for u(f), we can observe that when the argument / in u(1) ig
less than zero, then the unit step function is zero, and when the argument # in w(/) is greater
than or equal to zero, then the unit step function is unity.

1.4 BASIC OPERATIONS ON SIGNALS
When we process a signal, this signal may undergo several manipulations involving the
independent variable or the amplitude of the signal. The basic operations on signals are 3
follows:
1, Time shifting 2. Time reversal
3. Time scaling 4, Amplitude scaling
5. Signal addition 6. Signal multiplication
The first three operations correspond to transformation in independent variable ¢ or n of
a signal. The last three operations correspond to transformation on amplitude of a signal.

Observe that in Figure 1.37(a), x(0) is increasing linearly from O to 4 in the interval |
1 =-1 to ¢ = 0 and remaining constant at 4 in the interval ¢ = 0 to ¢ = 2 and decreasing
linearly from 4 to 0 in the interval ¢ = 2 to 1 = 3. |
In Figure 1.37(b), the time scaled (compressed) signal x(2f) increases linearly from 0 to
4 in the interval 1 = -(1/2) to ¢ = (0/2), remains constant at 4 from t = (0/2) to t = (2/2) and
then decreases linearly from 4 to 0 in the interval 1 = (2/2) to 1 = (3/2).
In Figure 1.37(c), the time scaled (expanded) signal x(1/2) increases linearly from 0 to 4,
in the interval ¢ = -1 x 2 to 0 x 2, remains constant at 4 in the interval t = 0 x 210
1 = 2x 2 and then decreases linearly from 4 to 0 in the interval t = 2 x 2 tor = 2x3.
In the discrete-time case, we can write the time scaling as follows.
y(n) = x(an)
again when a > 1, it is time compression and when a < 1, it is time expansion.
Let x(n) be a sequence as shown in Figure 1.38(a). If a = 2, y(n) = x(2n). Then we cat
