Signal and System


What is Signal and System?

Signal.

                                Representation of some Physical quantity giving information about it it’s known as signal.
                                                                                                OR
                                Mathematically signal is a function of some independent variable.
                                E.g.         time   (t) ® v(t) , i(t)

Types of Signals.


                                We can classify signal in many way . Here we classify signal in two parts.
§  Continuous time signal.
§  Discrete time signal.

Continuous time signal.

                               
                                If value of a signal is available at all instance of time then its known as continuous time signal.

Discrete time signal.


                                Value of a signal is available only at discrete instant of time then its known as discrete time signal.
