 Signals are variables that carry information
 System is an assemblage of entities/objects, real or abstract,
comprising a whole with each every component/element
interacting or related to another one.
Systems process input signals to produce output signals
 Examples
i. Motion, sound, picture, video, traffic light…
ii. Natural system (ecosystem), human-made system
(machines, computer storage system), abstract system
(traffic, computer programs), descriptive system (plans)
Signal and System
Signal Examples
• Electrical signals --- voltages and currents in a
circuit
• Acoustic signals --- audio or speech signals
(analog or digital)
• Video signals --- intensity variations in an image
(e.g. a CAT scan)
• Biological signals --- sequence of bases in a
gene
• Noise: unwanted signal

Definitions
• Voltage – the force which moves an electrical current
against resistance
• Waveform – the shape of the signal (previous slide is a
sine wave) derived from its amplitude and frequency
over a fixed time (other waveform is the square wave)
• Amplitude – the maximum value of a signal, measured
from its average state
• Frequency (pitch) – the number of cycles produced in a
second – Hertz (Hz). Relate this to the speed of a
processor eg 1.4GigaHertz or 1.4 billion cycles per
second
Signal Basics
 Continuous time (CT) and discrete time (DT) signals
CT signals take on real or complex values as a function of an independent
variable that ranges over the real numbers and are denoted as x(t).
DT signals take on real or complex values as a function of an independent
variable that ranges over the integers and are denoted as x[n].
Note the subtle use of parentheses and square brackets to distinguish between
CT and DT signals.
Analog Signals
• Human Voice – best example
• Ear recognises sounds 20KHz or less
• AM Radio – 535KHz to 1605KHz
• FM Radio – 88MHz to 108MHz
Digital signals
• Represented by Square Wave
• All data represented by binary values
• Single Binary Digit – Bit
• Transmission of contiguous group of bits is a bit
stream
• Not all decimal values can be represented by
binary
1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0
Analogue vs. Digital
Analogue Advantages
• Best suited for audio and video
• Consume less bandwidth
• Available world wide
• Less susceptible to noise
Digital Advantages
• Best for computer data
• Can be easily compressed
• Can be encrypted
• Equipment is more common and less expensive
• Can provide better clarity
Analog or Digital
• Analog Message: continuous in amplitude and over
time
– AM, FM for voice sound
– Traditional TV for analog video
– First generation cellular phone (analog mode)
– Record player
• Digital message: 0 or 1, or discrete value
– VCD, DVD
– 2G/3G cellular phone
– Data on your disk
– Your grade
• Digital age: why digital communication will prevail
A/D and D/A
• Analog to Digital conversion; Digital to
Analog conversion
– Gateway from the communication device to the
channel
• Nyquist Sampling theorem
– From time domain: If the highest frequency in the
signal is B Hz, the signal can be reconstructed
from its samples, taken at a rate not less than 2B
samples per second
A/D and D/A
• Quantization
– From amplitude domain
– N bit quantization, L intervals L=2N
– Usually 8 to 16 bits
– Error Performance: Signal to noise ratio
Real vs. Complex
Q. Why do we deal with complex signals?
A. They are often analytically simpler to deal with than real
signals, especially in digital communications.
Periodic vs. Aperiodic Signals
 Periodic signals have the property that x(t + T) = x(t) for all t.
 The smallest value of T that satisfies the definition is called the
period.
 Shown below are an aperiodic signal (left) and a periodic signal
(right).
 A causal signal is zero for t < 0 and an non-causal signal is
zero for t > 0
 Right- and left-sided signals
A right-sided signal is zero for t < T and a left-sided signal is zero
for t > T where T can be positive or negative.
Causal vs. Non-causal
Bounded vs. Unbounded
 Every system is bounded, but meaningful signal is always
bounded
Even vs. Odd
 Even signals xe(t) and odd signals xo(t) are defined as
xe(t) = xe(−t) and xo(t) = −xo(−t).
 Any signal is a sum of unique odd and even signals. Using
x(t) = xe(t)+xo(t) and x(−t) = xe(t) − xo(t), yields
xe(t) =0.5(x(t)+x(−t)) and xo(t) =0.5(x(t) − x(−t)).
Signal Properties: Terminology
• Waveform
• Time-average operator
• Periodicity
• DC value
• Power
• RMS Value
• Normalized Power
• Normalized Energy
Power and Energy Signals
• Power Signal
– Infinite duration
– Normalized power is
finite and non-zero
– Normalized energy
averaged over infinite
time is infinite
– Mathematically
tractable
• Energy Signal
– Finite duration
– Normalized energy is
finite and non-zero
– Normalized power
averaged over
infinite time is zero
– Physically realizable
• Although “real” signals are energy signals, we
analyze them pretending they are power signals!
The Decibel (dB)
• Measure of power transfer
• 1 dB = 10 log10 (Pout / Pin)
• 1 dBm = 10 log10 (P / 10-3
) where P is in Watts
• 1 dBmV = 20 log10 (V / 10-3
) where V is in Volts

Another Classification of Signals
(Waveforms)
• Deterministic Signals: Can be modeled as a
completely specified function of time
• Random or Stochastic Signals: Cannot be
completely specified as a function of time; must be
modeled probabilistically
• What type of signals are information bearing?
Power, Distortion, Noise
• Transmit power
– Constrained by device, battery, health issue, etc.
• Channel responses to different frequency and different time
– Satellite: almost flat over frequency, change slightly over time
– Cable or line: response very different over frequency, change
slightly over time.
– Fiber: perfect
– Wireless: worst. Multipath reflection causes fluctuation in
frequency response. Doppler shift causes fluctuation over time
• Noise and interference
– AWGN: Additive White Gaussian noise
– Interferences: power line, microwave, other users (CDMA
phone)
Shannon Capacity
• Shannon Theory
– It establishes that given a noisy channel with information capacity
C and information transmitted at a rate R, then if R<C, there exists
a coding technique which allows the probability of error at the
receiver to be made arbitrarily small. This means that theoretically,
it is possible to transmit information without error up to a limit, C.
– The converse is also important. If R>C, the probability of error at
the receiver increases without bound as the rate is increased. So
no useful information can be transmitted beyond the channel
capacity. The theorem does not address the rare situation in which
rate and capacity are equal.

distances
 Provides large amounts of
bandwidth
 Not susceptible to EMI RFI

frequencies at the same time, transmitting data in ‘chips’ at high
speed)

Editor's Notes

  • #6 Natural Systems: These are systems like the ecosystem, blood system and solar system. Human-made System: These systems include not designed and designed physical systems such as: machines, industrial plants, telecomunication infrastructure networks, computer storage systems and modern sculptures. Abstract Systems: Every conceptual model is an abstract system, for example, traffic system models and computer programs are both types of modeled systems. They can be the product of identification, design or invention. Descriptive and Normative Systems: They relates to human and other living system activity, an example of these are; plans, bus/train timetable, ethical systems.
  • #10 Continuous time (CT) and discrete time (DT) signals CT signals take on real or complex values as a function of an independent variable that ranges over the real numbers and are denoted as x(t). DT signals take on real or complex values as a function of an independent variable that ranges over the integers and are denoted as x[n]. Note the subtle use ofpa rentheses and square brackets to distinguish between CT and DT signals.
