What is signal?Sign -> Signal• Traffic signal • Flashing indicator light of a car• Mobile network signal• In the fields of communications, signal
processing, and in electrical engineering more generally, a signal is any time-varying or spatial-varying quantity.
ref: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Signals_and_Systems/Definition_of_Signals_and_Systems
Signal• "A signal is a function of independent variables
that carry some information.“• e.g. A Voltage V(t) or a Current C(t) that depends
on time
t
V(t)
Complex number representation:
• Three ways to represent a complex number• cartesian z=x+iy• polar• Exponential z=r eiφ
•
z r
2 2r x y and in radians
Complex representation:• Euler's formula: eiφ = cos φ+i sin φThen x= cos φ and y= sin φAnd x=Re {eiφ } and y= Im {eiφ}Let φ= ωt+Then x=Re{ei ωt+}=cos(ωt+)And y=Im{ei ωt+}=sin(ωt+)
y= sin(ωt+) = Im{ei(ωt+)}
How is a Signal Represented?
• Mathematically, signals are represented as a function of one or more independent variables.
• Below signal depends on independent variable t with parameters A, ω and .
• s= A Sin(ωt+)=A Im{ej(ωt+)}
A=Amplitude realω =angular frequency =phaseSin( ~ )=function

Types of Signal:Analog and digital signals
Continuous and Discrete-Time Signals
Periodic aperiodic Signal
Types of Signal (contd.)• Unit Step Function u(t)
• Ramp function r(t)
System:• A System is any physical set of components that
takes a signal and transforms it into another signal.
• A system can be a simple one that turns a light ON/OFF. Or can be a complex one that does all the computation in a microprocessor.

SystemInput signal x(t)
Output signal y(t)
Amplifier• An electronic amplifier is a device for
increasing the power of a signal.
• It does this by taking energy from a power supply and controlling the output to match the input signal shape but with a larger amplitude.
• There are various types of amplifier.
Amplifier
Time shifter• A time shifter system shifts the function f(t)
forward or backward by a specific time.
• The above system is a forward time shifter. It adds a delay (t0) to the signal.
t tTime
shifter
f(t) f(t – t0)
Sampler• sampling is the reduction of a continuous-time
signal to a discrete-time signal
• The sampling frequency must be higher than the frequency of the signal to be sampled. (minimum twice as high)

Analog to Digital Converter• An analog-to-digital converter (ADC, A/D) is a
device that converts a continuous quantity to a discrete time digital representation.
• The system that does the opposite is called DAC

Analog to Digital Conversion
• Conversion of Analog to digital is done in two step.

Low Pass filter• A low-pass filter is a filter that passes low-
frequency signals but attenuates (reduces the amplitude of) signals with frequencies higher than the cutoff frequency.

High Pass filter• A high-pass filter (HPF) is a device that
passes high frequencies and attenuates (i.e., reduces the amplitude of) frequencies lower than its cutoff frequency.

Band Pass filter• A band-pass filter is a device that passes
frequencies within a certain range and rejects (attenuates) frequencies outside that range.

Signal Processing:• In signal processing, sampling
is the reduction of a continuous signal to a discrete signal.
• Sampling frequency defines the sampling ‘RESOLUTION’
ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling_%28signal_processing%29, http://fourier.eng.hmc.edu/e101/lectures/Sampling_theorem/node1.html
Signal processing:• Fourier Series expansion:

The first four Fourier series approximations
for a square wave.
The Fourier Series expansion:• A periodic square
wave function ƒ(x) can be expressed with infinite Fourier series expansion.
f(x)=sin(x)+ sin(3x)+sin(5x)+sin(7x)+…..

Amplitude Modulator• An Amplitude modulator takes a low frequency
message signal and a high frequency carrier signal and combines it into a modulated signal of varying amplitude.

Amplitude Modulator
Amplitude Demodulator• An Amplitude demodulator takes a modulated
signal as input and gives output the original message signal.
• The above system is an amplitude demodulator. Its also called ‘envelope detector’. It takes the envelope of the modulated signal to get the information signal.
