UNIT I

SIGNAL
Signal is a physical quantity that varies with
respect to time , space or any other
independent variable
Eg x(t)= sin t.
the major classifications of the signal
are:
(i) Discrete time signal
(ii) Continuous time signal
 Unit Step &Unit Impulse

Discrete time Unit impulse is defined as

[n]= {0, n 0
{1, n=0
Unit impulse is also known as unit sample.
Discrete time unit step signal is defined by
U[n]={0,n=0
{1,n>= 0
Continuous time unit impulse is defined as
(t)={1, t=0
{0, t 0
Continuous time Unit step signal is defined as
U(t)={0, t<0
{1, t0
 SIGNAL

Periodic Signal & Aperiodic Signal

A signal is said to be periodic ,if it exhibits periodicity.i.e.,
X(t +T)=x(t), for all values of t. Periodic signal has the
property that it is unchanged by a time shift of T. A
signal that does not satisfy the above periodicity property
is called an aperiodic signal
even and odd signal ?
A discrete time signal is said to be even when, x[-n]=x[n].
The continuous time signal is said to be even when, x(-
t)= x(t) For example,Cosn is an even signal.
 Energy and power signal

A signal is said to be energy signal if it

have finite energy and zero power.
A signal is said to be power signal if it
have infinite energy and finite power.
If the above two conditions are not
satisfied then the signal is said to be
neigther energy nor power signal
 Fourier Series
The Fourier series represents a periodic signal in terms of
frequency components:

p 1
ik0n ik0 t
x(n) Xk e x( t ) Xk e
k 0 k
We get the Fourier series coefficients as follows:

1 p 1 1p ik0 t
Xk x(n)e ik0n Xk x( t )e dt
p n0 p0
The complex exponential Fourier coefficients are a sequence of
complex numbers representing the frequency component 0k.
 Fourier series

Fourier series: a complicated waveform analyzed into a

number of harmonically related sine and cosine functions

A continuous periodic signal x(t) with a period T0 may be

represented by:
X(t)=k=1 (Ak cos k t + Bk sin k t)+ A0

Dirichlet conditions must be placed on x(t) for the series

to be valid: the integral of the magnitude of x(t) over a
complete period must be finite, and the signal can only
have a finite number of discontinuities in any finite interval
 Trigonometric form for Fourier series
If the two fundamental components of a
periodic signal areB1cos0t and C1sin0t,
then their sum is expressed by trigonometric
identities:
X(t)= A0 + k=1 ( Bk 2+ Ak 2)1/2 (Ck cos k t- k)
or
X(t)= A0 + k=1 ( Bk 2+ Ak 2)1/2 (Ck sin k t+ k)
UNIT II
 Fourier Transform

Viewed periodic functions in terms of frequency components (Fourier

series) as well as ordinary functions of time
Viewed LTI systems in terms of what they do to frequency
components (frequency response)
Viewed LTI systems in terms of what they do to time-domain signals
(convolution with impulse response)
View aperiodic functions in terms of frequency components via
Fourier transform
Define (continuous-time) Fourier transform and DTFT
Gain insight into the meaning of Fourier transform through
comparison with Fourier series
 The Fourier Transform
A transform takes one function (or signal)
and turns it into another function (or signal)
Continuous Fourier Transform:

H f h t e 2ift dt


h t H f e 2ift df

 Continuous Time Fourier Transform
We can extend the formula for continuous-time Fourier series
coefficients for a periodic signal

1p ik0 t 1 p/2 ik0 t

Xk x( t )e dt x( t )e dt
p0 p p / 2
to aperiodic signals as well. The continuous-time Fourier
series is not defined for aperiodic signals, but we call the
formula

X() x( t )e i t dt the (continuous time)
Fourier transform.
 Inverse Transforms
If we have the full sequence of Fourier coefficients for a periodic
signal, we can reconstruct it by multiplying the complex
sinusoids of frequency 0k by the weights Xk and summing:

p 1
ik0n ik0 t
x(n) Xk e x( t ) Xk e
k 0 k

We can perform a similar reconstruction for aperiodic signals

1 in 1 it d
x(n) X( )e d x( t ) X( )e
2 2
These are called the inverse transforms.
 Fourier Transform of Impulse Functions
Find the Fourier transform of the Dirac delta function:

X() it dt ( t )e it dt e i0 1
x ( t )e

Find the DTFT of the Kronecker delta function:

in in i0
X() x(n)e (n)e e 1
n n
The delta functions contain all frequencies at equal amplitudes.
Roughly speaking, thats why the system response to an impulse
input is important: it tests the system at all frequencies.
 Laplace Transform
Lapalce transform is a generalization of the Fourier transform in the sense
that it allows complex frequency whereas Fourier analysis can only
handle real frequency. Like Fourier transform, Lapalce transform allows
us to analyze a linear circuit problem, no matter how complicated the
circuit is, in the frequency domain in stead of in he time domain.
Mathematically, it produces the benefit of converting a set of differential
equations into a corresponding set of algebraic equations, which are much
easier to solve. Physically, it produces more insight of the circuit and
allows us to know the bandwidth, phase, and transfer characteristics
important for circuit analysis and design.
Most importantly, Laplace transform lifts the limit of Fourier analysis to
allow us to find both the steady-state and transient responses of a linear
circuit. Using Fourier transform, one can only deal with he steady state
behavior (i.e. circuit response under indefinite sinusoidal excitation).
Using Laplace transform, one can find the response under any types of
excitation (e.g. switching on and off at any given time(s), sinusoidal,
impulse, square wave excitations, etc.

 system

A system is an operation that transforms

input signal x into output signal y.
 LTI Digital Systems
Linear Time Invariant
Linearity/Superposition:
If a system has an input that can be
expressed as a sum of signals, then the
response of the system can be expressed as
a sum of the individual responses to the
respective systems.
LTI
 Time-Invariance &Causality

Ifyou delay the input, response is just a delayed

version of original response.

X(n-k) y(n-k)

Causality could also be loosely defined by there is

no output signal as long as there is no input
signal or output at current time does not depend
on future values of the input.
 Convolution
The input and output signals for LTI
systems have special relationship in terms
of convolution sum and integrals.

Y(t)=x(t)*h(t) Y[n]=x[n]*h[n]
UNIT III
 Sampling theory
The theory of taking discrete sample values (grid of color
pixels) from functions defined over continuous domains
(incident radiance defined over the film plane) and then
using those samples to reconstruct new functions that are
similar to the original (reconstruction).
Sampler: selects sample points on the image plane
Filter: blends multiple samples together
 Sampling theory
For band limited function, we can just
increase the sampling rate
However, few of interesting functions in
computer graphics are band limited, in
particular, functions with discontinuities.
It is because the discontinuity always falls
between two samples and the samples
provides no information of the discontinuity.

that are ratios of two polynomials)

Stability of LTI system:

This condition is identical to the condition that

when z 1.
The stability condition is equivalent to the condition
that the ROC of H(z) includes the unit circle.
 System Function: Causality
If the system is causal, it follows that h[n] must be a right-
sided sequence. The ROC of H(z) must be outside the
outermost pole.
If the system is anti-causal, it follows that h[n] must be a
left-sided sequence. The ROC of H(z) must be inside the
innermost pole.

 Minimum-Phase System
Minimum-phase system: all zeros and all poles are inside
the unit circle.
The name minimum-phase comes from a property of the
phase response (minimum phase-lag/group-delay).
Minimum-phase systems have some special properties.
When we design a filter, we may have multiple choices to
satisfy the certain requirements. Usually, we prefer the
minimum phase which is unique.
All systems can be represented as a minimum-phase system
and an all-pass system.
