Signals
• Signals contain stream of information.
• Information about the state or behavior of a system.
• Information generally has a pattern of variations.
• Hence, a signal can be represented mathematically as a
function of one or more independent variables.
1D signal: speech (independent variable- time (t)),
2D signal: Image (independent variable- spatial variables (x, y))

Lecture-01 2
System and Signal Processing
System:
Signal generation is associated to system
(system response to source/stimulus/force/excitation)
A device that performs operation on signals.
(physical device or software realization)
Example: Noise reduction filter, frequency analyzer
Signal Processing:
Manipulate signal to get some processed information
Filtering: Extract/remove certain portion
Compression
Coding

Various Types of Signal
• Continuous-time (analog) and discrete-time signals
• Continuous valued and discrete valued signals
• Digital Signal (discrete-time and discrete amplitude)
• Multi-channel Signal
• Multi-dimensional Signal (1D, 2D, 3D…)
• Deterministic and random signals

Lecture-01 4
Analog Signal Processing
Most real-world signals are analog
– They are continuous in time and amplitude
– Convert to voltage or currents using sensors and
transducers
Analog signal processing examples
– Analog circuits: Resistors, Capacitors, Inductors,
Amplifiers,…
– Audio processing in FM radios
– Video processing in traditional TV sets

Advantages of Digital Signal Processing
✓ Better Accuracy and tolerances, Less undesired nonlinearities)
✓ Better storage facility and scope of offline computation
✓ Flexibility to modify/reconfigure the design by simply changing
the programs (in analog SP, needs redesign, testing, verification)
✓ Opportunity for repeatability
✓ Less sensitive to electrical noise
✓ Ease of implementation
✓ Lower cost

Digital Signal Processing
Represent signals by a sequence of numbers: Sampling or A/D conversions
Perform processing with a digital processor: Digital signal processing
Reconstruct analog signal: Reconstruction or digital-to-analog conversion

Sampling: A continuous to discrete-time conversion
Quantization: An interpretation of a continuous quantity by a
finite set of discrete values
