Introduction


The concept of signals and systems arise in
and extremely wide variety of fields
They have important role in such diverse
areas of science and technology

Communication, aeronautics, circuit design,
acoustics, seismology, biomedical, energy
generation and distribution, chemical process
control, speech processing, etc.

Definition
A signal is a phenomenon, arising in some
environment, that may be describe quantitatively
Examples of signal are
 voltages and current in electrical circuit,
 audio signals, visual signals,
 sequence of bits from computers,
 RF signal from transmitter,
 ECG and EEG signal,

Definition
A system is any part of environment that causes
certain signals that exist in that environment to be
related
Examples of system are
 an electrical circuit (it relates voltage and current),
 a television (audio and visual signals),
 a country (national income, demography, etc.)

System
output
System usually has input and output
Such a system is called input-output
system
We do not require that the input
determine the output uniquely
Overview of Signals and Systems - Hany Ferdinando
11
Examples…
Resistive electrical circuit system
Consider a resistor element connected to a
voltage source. We can assume that voltage is
the input and current acts as output. But for
some input voltage, there is no unique output
current
This is input-output system

General Concept (cont.)


If an input uniquely determines the
output, it is called input-output
mapping system
Usually, signal is a function of time,
such a signal is called time-signals


Discrete-time signals
Continuous-time signals
Overview of Signals and Systems - Hany Ferdinando
13
Examples…
Parity Bit Generator
A Parity bit generator always receives the
digital input and gives the output uniquely for
every input. It depends on the parity bit
generator uses even- or odd-parity
This is input-output mapping system

14
Examples…
Dow-Jones averages
It is a weighted average of the price of a
selected portfolio of stocks traded in NYSE,
which has been daily computed and recorded
since 1897
This is discrete-time signals
Overview of Signals and Systems - Hany Ferdinando
15
Examples…
The outdoor temperature
The outdoor temperature at any given place
taken as a continuous function of time. The
physical world abounds with continuous-time
signals
This is continuous-time signals
Overview of Signals and Systems - Hany Ferdinando
16
General Concept (cont.)

There are two systems:


Discrete-time systems (systems
associated with discrete-time signals) 
the time axis is finite and countable
Continuous-time systems (system
associated with continuous-time signals)
 the time axis is infinite and
uncountable

App. to Signal Processing
A typical problem in the area of signal processing
is the removal of unwanted noise from a signal.
Can you give examples?
A model u = s + n is frequently used, where s is
transmitted signal and n is noise added to the
signal
Overview of Signals and Systems - Hany Ferdinando
18
App. to Signal Processing
The problem is how to design a filter as shown in
figure below, whose function is to remove or at
least attenuate the noise.

App. to Communication Eng.
Communication engineering deals with
transferring information from one location to
another. It uses high frequency waves as carrier.

App. to Automatic Control
Control engineering concerns itself with the
design of automatic controller, whose purpose is
to govern the dynamic behavior of a given
system, e.g. automatic cruise control in a car
