What is a signal?
• An observed data representing a physical phenomenon is called a signal.
• The signal is a continuously varying phenomenon which represented as a function of time.
signal = function x(t), Rt ∈
www.EEENotes.in
Signal represents Change
Definition:
“ Any physical quantity that varies with time is called signal”

An electrical signal
* One dimensional signal
V(t)
www.EEENotes.in
Multidimensional signal
An ordered set of one-dimensional signalsV(t)=[v1(t) ,v2(t), v3(t), …,vN(t)]
It is the set of voltages existing at the terminals of a multiport.

CLASSIFICATION OF SIGNALSThe signal are classified as
1. Continuous and Discrete time 2. Analog and Digital3. Even and Odd4. Periodic and Aperiodic5. Deterministic and Random6. Energy and power
www.EEENotes.in
Classification of signals
1. Continuous time and discrete time signals
* A signal x(t) is said to be a continuous time signal if it is defined for all time t.
* Continuous time signal arises when a physical waveform is converted to electrical signal
www.EEENotes.in
Classification of Signals ( Continued)
• Continuous time signals
• Example – Voltage, current, pressure , temperature, velocity etc.
www.EEENotes.in
Classification of signals( Continued)
• Discrete time signals – It is defined only at discrete instants of time.
• A discrete time signal is derived from a continuous time signal by sampling it at a uniform rate.
• A DT signal is mathematically represented as
x[n] Where n is time index, which always an integer (i.e.) n=0,1,,2,3,4,…….

• Discrete time signals
Examples of discrete time signals in nature:
• DNA base sequence• Population of nth generation of
certain species
www.EEENotes.in
Analog Signal
• The amplitude of the signal is defined for all the value of time.
eg. All continuous time signals
www.EEENotes.in
Digital signal
• The amplitude and time are quantized i.e., it takes only fixed values.
• But for discrete time signal only time is quantized.

Even and Odd SignalEven Signal A CT signal x(t) is said to be an even signal if it satisfies the
condition. x(-t) = x(t) for all t
x(t)

Even signals are symmetric about time origin
www.EEENotes.in
Odd Signal The signal x(t) is said to be an odd signal if it satifies the
condition x(-t) = - x(t) for all t
Odd signals are anti-symmetric about time origin

Any CT signal x(t) is expressed as
x(t) =xe(t) + xo(t)
Where xe(t) is the Even component and xo(t) is the Odd component of the signal x(t).

Periodic and nonperiodic SignalsA periodic signal x(t) is a function that
satisfies the condition x(t) = x(t +T) for all t.

The smallest value of T that satisfies the above condition is called fundamental period
Fundamental freq f= 1/TAny signal for which there is no value
of T to satisfy the condition is called aperiodic Signal
www.EEENotes.in
Discrete Periodic signal
A signal is discrete periodic if it satisfies the relation
x[n]=x[n+N]
where N is the period of the signal.

there is uncertainty before its actual occurrence.
Eg. Noise generated in an amplifier

Energy signal and Power signalIn electrical system, a signal can be
represented as a voltage or currentConsider a voltage v(t) developed across
R producing a current i(t).The instantaneous power dissipated in the
resistor is given by p(t) = v2(t)/ROr p(t)= i2(t)/RFor R=1 ohm , whether x(t) is voltage or
current , p(t)=x2(t).

The signal is referred to as an energy signal if and only if
0< E < ∞The signal is referred to as an power signal
if and only if 0< P < ∞ In particular an energy signal has zero
average power whereas power signal has infinite energy.

SummaryA continuous time signal is defined for
all values of timeDiscrete time signal is defined only at
discrete instants of timeEven signals are symmetric about time
origin but odd signals are antisymmetric about time origin
A periodic signal is one which repeats itself after a particular instant of time.

Summary ( Continued)
A deterministic signal is one in which there is no uncertainty with respect to its value at any time
A random signal is a signal about which there is uncertainty before its actual occurrence.
An energy signal has zero average power whereas a power signal has infinite energy.
