What is a Signal?• Signals = variables• A signal is a function of one or more
independent variables that conveys information on the nature of a physical phenomenon.
• A quantitative description of a variable changing in time (or space)
• Contains a pattern of variations
Introduction to Signals and Systems- Signals and Systems
2
Signal Examples• Internet: information-bearing signals• Listening to the heartbeat of a patient or
monitoring blood pressure and temperature. Both cases signals convey information to the doctor about the state of the patient.
• Human voice mechanism produces speech• Fluctuations in acoustic pressure• Acoustic pressure as a function of time
3
What is a System?
• System = operations• An operator acting among variables. • Set of interconnected operations that
perform a certain task.• A system is an entity that manipulates one
or more signals to accomplish a function, thereby yielding new signals.
4
Systems
• An automatic speaker recognition system: the input signal = a speech (voice), the system = computer, the output = the identity of the speaker.
• A blood pressure monitoring system: the input signal = sensor measurement, the system = computer, the output = blood pressure display.

Control Systems
Block diagram of a feedback control system. The controller drives the plant, whose disturbed output drives the sensor(s). The resulting feedback signal is subtracted from the reference input to produce an error signal e(t), which, in turn, drives the controller. The feedback loop is thereby closed.

Biomedical Signals
The traces shown in (a), (b), and (c) are three examples of EEG signals recorded from the hippocampus of a rat. Neurobiological studies suggest that the hippocampus plays a key role in certain aspects of learning and memory.
11
Classification of Signals1. Continuous (or analog)-time vs. discrete-time signals
(a) Continuous-time signal x(t). (b) Representation of x(t) as a discrete-time signal x[n].
- Signal Classification
12
Classification of Signals2. Even vs. Odd Signals• Even Signal: x(-t) = x(t) for all t.• Odd Signal: x(-t) = -x(t) for all t.
13
Classification of Signals3. Periodic signals vs. Non-periodic signals• A periodic signal x(t)
– If x(t) = x(t+T) for all t,– T = fundamental period of x(t)– f=1/T=fundamental frequency
• If no value of T satisfies the condition above, a signal x(t) is called aperiodic or non-periodic.
Question: most biomedical signals are periodic or non-periodic?

(a) Square wave with amplitude A = 1 and period T = 0.2s. (b) Rectangular pulse of amplitude A and duration T1.
15Lecture No. 1
Classification of Signals4. Deterministic Signals vs. Random (or stochastic) Signals• A deterministic signal is a signal about which there is no
uncertainty with respect to its value at any time.• Deterministic signals are repeatable. That is when we
measure some values over a specified period of time and duplicate the measurement some time later, the same signal values occur.
• A random signal is a signal about which there is uncertainty before it occurs.
• If a signal does not achieve the same values, then it is no longer repeatable and considered random (or stochastic)
Question: how do we handle random or stochastic signals?

It was introduced by theoretical physicist Paul Dirac. Dirac explicitly spoke of infinitely great values of his integrand. In the context of signal processing it is often referred to as the unit impulse symbol (or function). Its discrete analog is the Kronecker delta function which is usually defined on a finite domain and takes values 0 and 1.

– A system is said to posses memory if its output signal depends on past or future values of the input signal.
– A system is said to be memoryless if its output signal depends only on the present value of the input signal.

Properties of Systems• Time Invariance

Linearity
The linearity property of a system. (a) The combined operation of amplitude scaling and summation precedes the operator H for multiple inputs. (b) The operator H precedes amplitude scaling for each input; the resulting outputs are summed to produce the overall output y(t). If these two configurations produce the same output y(t), the operator H is linear.
