Signals and Systems is a fundamental area of study in engineering and technology that deals with the analysis and processing of signals and the behavior of systems that handle these signals.
Signals
A signal is a time-varying quantity that conveys information. Signals can be in various forms, such as electrical voltages, sound waves, or digital data. They are typically classified into two main types:
Analog Signals: Continuous signals that vary smoothly over time.
Digital Signals: Discrete signals that change in distinct steps or levels.
Systems
A system is a collection of components or modules that process input signals to produce output signals. Systems can be described in terms of their response to input signals and are often categorized as:
Linear Systems: Systems where the principle of superposition applies.
Non-linear Systems: Systems where the output is not directly proportional to the input.
Key Concepts
Time and Frequency Domains: Signals and systems can be analyzed in both time and frequency domains. The Fourier transform is a key tool for converting signals between these domains.
Filtering: The process of removing unwanted components from a signal.
Modulation: The technique of varying a signal to encode information.
Sampling: The process of converting a continuous signal into a discrete signal.
Applications
Signals and systems are crucial in various fields, including:
Communications: For transmitting data over distances.
Control Systems: For regulating the behavior of dynamic systems.
Signal Processing: For enhancing or extracting information from signals.
Electronics: For designing circuits and devices that interact with signals .

Unit Impulse functions δ[n]
It is defined as ??????[�]=[{
1 �=0
0 �≠0
It is a deterministic signal unlike continuous time equivalent
Multiplication of a function by an impulse
x[n] δ[n] = x[0] δ[n] is an impulse of strength x[0] at n= 0
x[n] δ[n-T] = x[T] δ[n-T] is an impulse of strength x[T] at n= T
Sampling property of the unit impulse function
Any general sequence x[n] = {5,3,2
↑,5,3,7,5} can be represented as
x[n] = 5 δ[n+2] +3 δ[n+1] + 2 δ[n] + 5 δ[n-1] +3 δ[n-2] +7 δ[n-3] +5 δ[n-4]
Impulse function does define a unique function
It is a true function in ordinary sense
Its range is defined and is symmetric about n = 0. i.e. δ[n] = δ[-n]

3) Discrete time sinusoid C cos(Ωn+θ)
Where, C is the amplitude θ is the phase in radians
Ω is the discrete frequency in radians per sample and n is the integer values (or discrete time variable)
Ω is also called (radian frequency) -----> radians / sample and Ωn is angle in radians ;
Let C cos(Ωn+θ) = C cos(2πFn+θ) Where, F =
??????
2??????
is the discrete time frequency
i.e ( radians /2π ) per sample OR cycles per sample
If No is the period (sample / cycle) of the sinusoid, then the frequency of the sinusoid F =
1

4) Discrete time sinusoid may be periodic or non-periodic in nature.
Discrete time signal is periodic only when the sampling interval T is the continuous time period τ multiplied by a rational number.
OR T =
�??????
??????
[s / sample]
where, two integers m and N are relatively prime (coprime) i.e. they have no common devisor except 1. Then,
Discrete time radian frequency Ω = ω T = ??????

2?????? OR
Period of the discrete time signal is No =
2�??????
??????
In another perspective (using discrete time frequency F), a condition for periodicity of a discrete time signal is also defined as:
“a discrete time sinusoidal signal is periodic only if its frequency F =
Ω
2??????
is rational. This means that the frequency
F (cycles per samples) should be in the form of ratio of two integers”
In a continuous time sinusoid signal, Cos ω t is periodic, regardless of the value of ω. i.e. for all ω = 1.1 , 3.6 , 4.5π e.t.c.
Such is not the case for discrete – time sinusoid Cos Ω n (or exponential e
jΩn
)
i.e., for all Ω = 1.2 , 3.6 , 4.5 e.t.c. the discrete time signals are not periodic and
for all Ω = 1.2π , 3.6π , 4.5π e.t.c. the discrete time signals are periodic
Then periodicity can be calculated by No = m

In eqn. 1), the output y[n] at any instant n is computed by adding all past values of input till n ----> Non recursive form.
In eqn. 2), the computation of y[n] involves addition of only two values, preceding output value and present input value
