Classification of Signals

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.

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.
