Q1. What's signals and system?

In signal processing, a signal is a single-valued function of time that conveys

information.
In other words, at every point in time there is a unique value of the function.

Signal Example: An electrical circuit signal may represent a time-varying voltage

measured across a resistor.

Signal can be mathematically represented by a dependent variable and independent

variable.
Example: x(t)=t(square)+1.
The parameters of the signal are:
Amplitude
phase
frequency

A system is any process that produces an output signal in response to an input

signal.
The input is known as excitation and the output is known as response.

Q2. What do you mean by transfer function?

A Transfer Function is the ratio of the output of a system to the input of a
system,
in the Laplace domain considering its initial conditions and equilibrium point to
be zero.

Q3. What is convolution and give its application.

y(t)=x(t)*h(t)=?8-8x(t)h(t-t)dt

The convolution of one function (the input signal) with a second function (the
impulse response)
gives the output of a linear time-invariant system (LTI).
Convolution helps to understand a system�s behavior based on current and past
events.

It's basically used in signal filtering. Convolution in the time domain is

equivalent to
multiplication in the frequency domain.
So, if you have one function f(t) that describes a signal to filter,
and a second function g(t) whose frequency composition represents the desired
filter response,
then the result f*g(t) is the filtered signal.

Q4. What is correlation and give its application.

Correlation is a statistical measure that indicates the extent to which two or more
variables fluctuate together.

Used in linear regression problems.

Correlation is used in radar,sonar,digital communication geology etc.

It is of two types: a. cross correlation b. auto correlation

Q5. Difference bw CTS & DTS.

Continuous signals are �the signals that can be defined and represented at any
instant of time in the sequence.�
Discrete signals are �the signals that can be defined and represented at certain
time instants of the sequence.�
A continuous time signal is an analog representation of a natural signal,
with characteristically smooth transitions between peaks and valleys.
A discrete time signal is a digital representation of a continuous signal,
it has a magnitude that is held constant for the duration of each sample.

Q6. What is Fourier transform and how is it different from Laplace transform?
The Fourier transform decomposes a function of time into its constituent
frequencies
in the form of sum of sines and cosines.

Transforms are used because the time-domain mathematical models of systems

are generally complex differential equations.Transforming these complex
differential equations
into simpler algebraic expressions makes them much easier to solve.
Once the solution to the algebraic expression is found,
the inverse transform will give you the time-domain response.

Laplace transforms can capture the transient behaviors of systems.

Fourier transforms only capture the steady state behavior.

Q7. What are the major classifications of the signal?

Ans:

1. Discrete signal 2. continous signal 3. Non continous signal 4. periodic signal

5. Non periodic signal.

Q8. What Are the classification of continuous time signals? Name them.
1. deterministic and non deterministic signal.

2. periodic and non periodic signal

3. even and odd signal

4. energy and power signal

5. causal and non causal signal

Q9. Give some examples of causal signal?

A signal is said to be causal,if it is defined for t>=0.
examples are: step signal,unit step signal,exponential signal.

Q10. Give some examples of non causal signal.

exponential signal , complex exponential signal

Q11. classify discrete time signal?

1. static and dynamic system

2. causal and non causal system

3. time invariant and time variant signal

4. linear and non linear signal

5. stable and unstable signal.
