Discrete-Time (DT) Signals Time Domain Representation

A signal can be broadly defined as any dependent quantity that varies as a function of some independent variable (e.g. time, frequency, space, etc.) and both has a physical meaning and has the ability to convey information. Examples Electrical signals (Radio communications signals, audio and video etc). Mechanical signals (vibrations in a structure, earthquakes). Biomedical signals (EEG, lung and heart monitoring, X-ray etc).

A system can be represented mathematically as a transformation between two signal sets, as in x[n] S1 y[n] = T{x[n]}

Depending on the nature of the signals on which the system operates, different basic types of systems may be identied: Analog or continuous-time system: the input and output signals are analog in nature. Discrete-time system: the input and output signals are discrete. Digital system: the input and outputs are digital. Mixed system: a system in which different types of signals (i.e. analog, discrete and/or digital) coexist. Signals can be either continuous-time (CT) or Discrete-time (DT). Signals normally occurring in nature (e.g. speech) are continuous in time as well as amplitude. Such signals are called Analog signals. DT signals have values defined at only discrete instants of time. These time instants need not be equidistant, but in practice, they are usually taken at equally spaced intervals for computational convenience and mathematical tractability. If amplitude of DT signal is also made discrete through process of quantization or rounding off, then this becomes a Digital Signal. Digital Signal Processing (DSP) is concerned with digital processing of signals.

An analog signal is denoted as x(t). To emphasize its discrete time nature, a DT signal is denoted as x(n), instead of x(t). A discrete-time signal x(n) is a function of an independent variable n, which is an integer. A discrete-time signal is not defined at instants between two successive samples. A discretetime signal is represented as a sequence of numbers, called samples. A sample value of a typical discrete-time signal or sequence {x[n]} is denoted as x[n] with the argument n being an integer in the range and . The following methods are in use to illustrate the Digital signals

Sequence Representation

Tabular Representation

A set of rules that transforms one discrete signal into another is known as an algorithm and this transformation is what we call Discrete-time signal processing or Digital signal processing (DSP).

GENERATION OF UNIT SAMPLE AND UNIT SEPT SIGNALS

Unit Sample Sequence

Unit Sample Sequence is often called the discrete time impulse or the unit impulse. It is denoted by [n] and is defined as

Matlab Notes: K=input(text) Request user input and it prompt the use in the text string and then waits for input from the keyboard. The value entered by the user is assigned to k. B=zeros(n) return an n-by-n matrix of zeros similarly for ones.

Unit Step Sequence:

The unit step function is one of the most important functions used by mathematicians and engineers in the analysis and design of continuous-time systems. In addition to being useful, step functions also provide a way to turn on and turn off other functions as well, due to its on-off characteristics. Thus, we can think of step functions as mathematical switches. The unit step sequence , denoted by [n], is dened by

Unit Ramp
The ramp function, denoted by ur( n) is a signal whose amplitude increases proportionally as time increases

Generation of a Unit Ramp

% Generation of a unit ramp signal clf; m=0:1:10; % Generate the unit ramp signal x5=m; stem(m,x5); xlabel('Time index n');ylabel('Amplitude'); legend('ramp') title('Unit Ramp Signal'); u=m % Following command will also generate unit ramp signal

Exponential Sequence
Another basic discrete-time sequence is the exponential sequence. Such a sequence can begenerated using the MATLAB operators .^ and exp. The exponential sequence is a signal whose amplitude exponentially increases or exponentially decreases, depending on the value of a, as time approaches infinity. x(n) = a
n

for n 0

when, a = re then the complex exponentia l signal becomes : x(n) = r cos(2f + )n + j sin (2f + )n

Sinusoidal Sequence
Another very useful class of discrete-time signals is the real sinusoidal sequence. Such sinusoidal sequences can be generated in MATLAB using thetrigonometric operators cos and sin x[n] = A cos[(0 + 2 r )n + ] = A cos(0n + ).

Generation of a Sinusoidal Sequence

% Generation of a sinusoidal sequence n = 0:40; f = 0.1; phase = 0; A = 1.5; arg = 2*pi*f*n - phase; x = A*cos(arg); clf; % Clear old graph stem(n,x); % Plot the generated sequence axis([0 40 -2 2]); grid title('Sinusoidal Sequence'); xlabel('Time index n'); ylabel('Amplitude');

Periodicity Property of Digital Frequency (frequency of discrete time sinusoid)

Digital Frequency (that of DT sinusoid) has the range 0 to 2 pi and starts repeating itself after 2 pi. This is different from Analog frequency which is unique from 0 till repetition.
