Introduction

Signals and systems are all around us! They play an important role in our daily lives, from the sounds we hear to the images we see on a screen. In this lesson, we will learn more about signals and systems and how they work.

What are Signals and Systems?

Signals are physical quantities that vary with time or space. Examples of signals include sound, light, temperature, and pressure. Signals can be classified according to their characteristics, such as amplitude, frequency, and phase.

Systems are objects or processes that respond to signals in some way. A system can be anything from a simple light switch to a complex computer algorithm. The input to a system is a signal, and the output is the response of the system to that signal.

Types of Signals

There are many different types of signals, but the most common are analog and digital signals.

Analog signals are continuous in time and can take on any value within a range. Examples include sound waves and voltage signals.

Digital signals, on the other hand, are discrete in time and can take on only fixed values. Examples include binary code and digital audio.

Types of Systems

Just like signals, systems can also be classified into different types according to their characteristics. The most common types of systems are linear and nonlinear.

Linear systems respond to input signals in a predictable way, meaning that the output signal is a linear function of the input signal.

Nonlinear systems, on the other hand, are more complex and do not follow a predictable response. An example of a nonlinear system is the weather, which can be influenced by many different factors.

Applications of Signals and Systems

Signals and systems are used in a wide range of applications, from communication to entertainment to medicine.

Examples of applications of signals and systems include:

Homework Assignment

Homework Answers

  1. A signal is a physical quantity that varies with time or space. An example of a signal is sound.
  2. Analog signals are continuous in time and can take on any value within a range, while digital signals are discrete in time and can take on only fixed values.
  3. Two applications of signals and systems include cell phone communication and medical imaging.
  4. Linear systems respond to input signals in a predictable way, while nonlinear systems do not follow a predictable response.
