UNIT I

SIGNAL
► Signal is a physical quantity that varies with
respect to time , space or any other
independent variable
Eg x(t)= sin t.
► the major classifications of the signal
are:
(i) Discrete time signal
(ii) Continuous time signal
 Unit Step &Unit Impulse
 Discrete time Unit impulse is defined as
δ [n]= {0, n≠ 0
{1, n=0
Unit impulse is also known as unit sample.
Discrete time unit step signal is defined by
U[n]={0,n=0
{1,n>= 0
Continuous time unit impulse is defined as
δ (t)={1, t=0
{0, t ≠ 0
Continuous time Unit step signal is defined as
U(t)={0, t<0
{1, t≥0
 SIGNAL

► Periodic Signal & Aperiodic Signal

 A signal is said to be periodic ,if it exhibits periodicity.i.e.,
X(t +T)=x(t), for all values of t. Periodic signal has the
property that it is unchanged by a time shift of T. A
signal that does not satisfy the above periodicity property
is called an aperiodic signal
► even and odd signal ?
 A discrete time signal is said to be even when, x[-n]=x[n].
The continuous time signal is said to be even when, x(-
t)= x(t) For example,Cosωn is an even signal.
 Energy and power signal

► A signal is said to be energy signal if it

have finite energy and zero power.
► A signal is said to be power signal if it
have infinite energy and finite power.
► If the above two conditions are not
satisfied then the signal is said to be
neigther energy nor power signal
 Fourier Series
The Fourier series represents a periodic signal in terms of
frequency components:
p −1 ∞
ikω0n ikω0 t
x(n) = ∑ Xk e x( t ) = ∑ Xk e
k =0 k = −∞
We get the Fourier series coefficients as follows:

1 p −1 1p −ikω0 t
Xk = ∑ x(n)e −ikω0n Xk = ∫ x( t )e dt
p n =0 p0
The complex exponential Fourier coefficients are a sequence of
complex numbers representing the frequency component ω0k.
 Fourier series

► Fourier series: a complicated waveform analyzed into a

number of harmonically related sine and cosine functions

► A continuous periodic signal x(t) with a period T0 may be

represented by:
 X(t)=Σ∞k=1 (Ak cos kω t + Bk sin kω t)+ A0

► Dirichlet conditions must be placed on x(t) for the series

to be valid: the integral of the magnitude of x(t) over a
complete period must be finite, and the signal can only
have a finite number of discontinuities in any finite
interval
 Trigonometric form for Fourier series
► If the two fundamental components of a
periodic signal areB1cosω0t and C1sinω0t,
then their sum is expressed by trigonometric
identities:
► X(t)= A0 + Σ∞k=1 ( Bk 2+ Ak 2)1/2 (Ck cos kω t- φk)
or
► X(t)= A0 + Σ∞k=1 ( Bk 2+ Ak 2)1/2 (Ck sin kω t+ φk)
UNIT II
 Fourier Transform

► Viewed periodic functions in terms of frequency components (Fourier

series) as well as ordinary functions of time
► Viewed LTI systems in terms of what they do to frequency
components (frequency response)
► Viewed LTI systems in terms of what they do to time-domain signals
(convolution with impulse response)
► View aperiodic functions in terms of frequency components via
Fourier transform
► Define (continuous-time) Fourier transform and DTFT
► Gain insight into the meaning of Fourier transform through
comparison with Fourier series
 The Fourier Transform
►A transform takes one function (or signal)
and turns it into another function (or signal)
► Continuous Fourier Transform:

∞
H ( f ) = ∫ h ( t ) e 2πift dt
−∞
∞
h ( t ) = ∫ H ( f ) e −2πift df
−∞
 Continuous Time Fourier Transform
We can extend the formula for continuous-time Fourier series
coefficients for a periodic signal

1p −ikω0 t 1 p/2 −ikω0 t

Xk = ∫ x( t )e dt = ∫ x ( t )e dt
p0 p −p / 2
to aperiodic signals as well. The continuous-time Fourier
series is not defined for aperiodic signals, but we call the
formula
∞
X(ω) = ∫ x( t )e − iω t dt the (continuous time)
−∞ Fourier transform.
 Inverse Transforms
If we have the full sequence of Fourier coefficients for a periodic
signal, we can reconstruct it by multiplying the complex
sinusoids of frequency ω0k by the weights Xk and summing:
p −1 ∞
ikω0n ikω0 t
x(n) = ∑ Xk e x( t ) = ∑ Xk e
k =0 k = −∞

We can perform a similar reconstruction for aperiodic signals

1 π iωn dω 1 ∞ iωt dω
x(n) = ∫ X( ω)e x( t ) = ∫ X( ω)e
2π − π 2π − ∞
These are called the inverse transforms.
 Fourier Transform of Impulse Functions
Find the Fourier transform of the Dirac delta function:
∞ ∞
X(ω) = −iωt dt = δ( t )e −iωt dt = e −iω0 = 1
∫ x ( t )e ∫
−∞ −∞
Find the DTFT of the Kronecker delta function:
∞ ∞
−iωn −iωn −iω0
X( ω) = ∑ x(n)e = ∑ δ(n)e =e =1
n = −∞ n = −∞
The delta functions contain all frequencies at equal amplitudes.
Roughly speaking, that’s why the system response to an impulse
input is important: it tests the system at all frequencies.
 Laplace Transform
► Lapalce transform is a generalization of the Fourier transform in the sense
that it allows “complex frequency” whereas Fourier analysis can only
handle “real frequency”. Like Fourier transform, Lapalce transform allows
us to analyze a “linear circuit” problem, no matter how complicated the
circuit is, in the frequency domain in stead of in he time domain.
► Mathematically, it produces the benefit of converting a set of differential
equations into a corresponding set of algebraic equations, which are much
easier to solve. Physically, it produces more insight of the circuit and
allows us to know the bandwidth, phase, and transfer characteristics
important for circuit analysis and design.
► Most importantly, Laplace transform lifts the limit of Fourier analysis to
allow us to find both the steady-state and “transient” responses of a linear
circuit. Using Fourier transform, one can only deal with he steady state
behavior (i.e. circuit response under indefinite sinusoidal excitation).
► Using Laplace transform, one can find the response under any types of
excitation (e.g. switching on and off at any given time(s), sinusoidal,
impulse, square wave excitations, etc.

 system

►• A system is an operation that transforms

input signal x into output signal y.
 LTI Digital Systems
► Linear Time Invariant
• Linearity/Superposition:
► If a system has an input that can be
expressed as a sum of signals, then the
response of the system can be expressed as
a sum of the individual responses to the
respective systems.
► LTI
 Time-Invariance &Causality

► Ifyou delay the input, response is just a delayed

version of original response.

► X(n-k) y(n-k)

► Causality could also be loosely defined by “there is

no output signal as long as there is no input
signal” or “output at current time does not depend
on future values of the input”.
 Convolution
► The input and output signals for LTI
systems have special relationship in terms
of convolution sum and integrals.

► Y(t)=x(t)*h(t) Y[n]=x[n]*h[n]
UNIT III
 Sampling theory
► The theory of taking discrete sample values (grid of color
pixels) from functions defined over continuous domains
(incident radiance defined over the film plane) and then
using those samples to reconstruct new functions that are
similar to the original (reconstruction).
► Sampler: selects sample points on the image plane
► Filter: blends multiple samples together
 Sampling theory
► For band limited function, we can just
increase the sampling rate
► • However, few of interesting functions in
computer graphics are band limited, in
particular, functions with discontinuities.
► • It is because the discontinuity always falls
between two samples and the samples
provides no information of the discontinuity.

 System Function: Causality
► If the system is causal, it follows that h[n] must be a right-
sided sequence. The ROC of H(z) must be outside the
outermost pole.

left-sided sequence. The ROC of H(z) must be inside the
innermost pole.

satisfy the certain requirements. Usually, we prefer the
minimum phase which is unique.

 Transposed Forms
► Linear signal flow graph property:
 Transposing doesn’t change the input-output
relation 1
H( z ) = −1
► Transposing:1 − az
 Reverse directions of all branches
 Interchange input and output nodes
► Example:
 Example
Transpose

y[n] = a1y[n − 1] + a2y[n − 2] + b0x[n] + b1x[n − 1] + b2x[n − 2]

► Both have the same system function or

difference equation
Basic Structures for FIR Systems: Direct Form
► Special cases of IIR direct form structures

► Transpose of direct form I gives direct form II

► Both forms are equal for FIR systems

 Structures for Linear-Phase FIR
Systems
► Causal FIR system with generalized linear phase are
symmetric:
h[M − n] = h[n] n = 0,1,..., M (type I or III)
h[M − n] = −h[n] n = 0,1,..., M (type II or IV)
► Symmetry means we can half the number of
multiplications
► Example: For even M and type I or type III systems:
M M / 2 −1 M
y[n] = ∑ h[k ]x[n − k ] = ∑ h[k ]x[n − k ] + h[M / 2]x[n − M / 2] + ∑ h[k ]x[n − k ]
