Signals can be classified into several categories including continuous-time and discrete-time, even and odd, periodic and non-periodic, deterministic and random, as well as energy and power signals. Continuous-time signals are defined for all time values, while discrete-time signals are defined only at specific intervals, often derived from continuous signals through sampling. Deterministic signals have predictable values, whereas random signals exhibit uncertainty, and energy signals have finite energy while power signals have finite average power.

Q Coding
> Sampled values are converted to codes.
1 Example : Converting to binary numbers.
Q Binary Coding
> Number of bits for representing one sample
value is at first decided e.g. 8 bit coding, 16 bit
coding etc.
> Assuming unsigned sampled values (non-negative
values), an n-bit coding scheme can represent
maximum of 2" number of distinct sampled
values.
1 Example : 2 bit coding can represent 0,1,2 and 3,
these 4 sampled values only.

Let
x(t) = a(t) + jb(t)
x(t) is conjugate symmetric,
if x(-t) = x*(t)
vie,
a(-t) + jb(-t) = a(t) - jb(t)
Which implies
a(-t) = a(t), ie. a(t) is even
and b(-t) = -b(t) , ie. b(t) is odd
A complex signal is conjugate symmetric if its real part
is even and imaginary part is odd.

Q Periodic Signal
> Continuous-time
x(t) is periodic if x(t) = x(t+T) for all t, where Tis a
positive constant.
If the above condition is satisfied for T = To, it is also
satisfied for T = 2T), T= 3To and so on.
The smallest possible value of T is called fundamental
riod or period of x(t) and the reciprocal of that T is
nown as the fundamental frequency of x(t).
ie.
f = 1/T measured in hertz or cps.

Q Periodic Signal

x{n] is periodic if x[n] = x[n+N] for all integer n,
where N is a positive integer constant.
Fundamental angular frequency is measured in
radians per second and is defined as
N= 2n/N
Q Non-periodic or Aperiodic signal
x(t) (or x[n]) is non-periodic/aperiodic if
no value of T (or N) exists such that x(t) = x(t+T)

> Assignal about which there is no uncertainty with
respect to its value at any time, ie. they are
completely specified function of time.

» Asignal about which there is uncertainty before its
actual occurrence.
> They often belong to ensemble or group of signals of
different waveforms.

Signal = Ix (dt
Limitation of the definition of Total Energy:
If the signal does not decay with time, or if it is a
periodic signal, it means the signal has infinite
energy. A signal having infinite energy has no
meaning as far as comparing it with another signal is
concerned, In these cases the concept of average
power helps.
