A Signal: is a function that specifies how aspecific variable changes versus anindependent variable such as time. Usuallyrepresented as an X-Y plot.

Analog vs. Digital signals:
Analog signals are signals with magnitudes
that may take any value in a specific rang
Digital signals have amplitudes that take onlya finite number of values.

Continuous-time vs. discrete-time:
Continuous-time signals have theirmagnitudes defined for all values of t. Theymay be analog or digital.
Discrete-time signals have their magnitudesdefined at specific instants of time only. Theymay be analog or digital.

Periodic vs. aperiodic signals:Periodic signals are signals constructed froma shape that repeats itself regularly after aspecific amount of time T0, that is:
f(t) = f(t+nT0) for all integer n
Aperiodicsignals do not repeat regularly.

Energy Signals: an energy signal is a signalwith finite energy and zero average power
(0 E< , P= 0)
Power Signals: a power signal is a signal withinfinite energy but finite average power
(0 < P< , E).

A signal cannot be both an energy and power signal.
A signal may be neither energy nor power signal.
All periodic signals are power signals (but not all nonperiodic signals are energy signals).
Any signal fthat has limited amplitude (|f|< ) and istime limited (f= 0 for |t |> t0) is an energy signal.
The square root of the average power of a power signalis called the RMS value.

Time Shifting: given the signal f(t), the signalf(tt0) is a time-shifted version of f(t) that isshifted to the leftif t0 is positive and to therightif t0 is negative.

The frequency 0= 2/T0 is called thefundamental frequency and the multiple of thisfrequency n0 is called the nth harmonic.
FS ofg(t) is equal to g(t) over the interval t1t
t1+T0 only. The FS for all tis a periodic function of period
T0 in which the segment ofg(t) over the intervalt1tt1+T0 repeats periodically.
If the function g(t) itself is periodic with periodT0 then the FS represents g(t) for all t.

Dn is related to Cn and n as
| Dn | is called the amplitude spectrum of the signal.
Dn is called the phase spectrum of the signal.
They provide a frequency-domainrepresentation of thesignal.
