4、 as a function of one or more independent variables.For instance a black & white video signal intensity(亮度) is dependent on x, y coordinates and time t f(x,y,t)On this course, we shall be exclusively concerned with signals that are a function of a single variable: timetf(t)EE-2027 SaS, L14Example: S

9、s course, we shall be particularly interested in signals with certain properties:Periodic signals: a signal is periodic if it repeats itself after a fixed period T, i.e. x(t) = x(t+T) for all t. A sin(t) signal is periodic.Even and odd signals: a signal is even if x(-t) = x(t) (i.e. it can be reflec
10、ted in the axis at zero). A signal is odd if x(-t) = -x(t). Examples are cos(t) and sin(t) signals, respectively.Exponential and sinusoidal signals: a signal is (real) exponential if it can be represented as x(t) = Ceat. A signal is (complex) exponential if it can be represented in the same form but
11、 C and a are complex numbers.Step and pulse signals: A pulse signal is one which is nearly completely zero, apart from a short spike, d(t). A step signal is zero up to a certain time, and then a constant value after that time, u(t).These properties define a large class of tractable(易处理的), useful sig
