    There are two variable parameters in general:


    1. Amplitude
    2. Time
    The following operation can be performed with amplitude:

    Amplitude Scaling
    C xt is a amplitude scaled version of xt whose amplitude is scaled by a factor C.

    Addition
    Addition of two signals is nothing but addition of their corresponding amplitudes. This can be best
    explained by using the following example:

    As seen from the diagram above,


    -10 < t < -3 amplitude of zt = x1t + x2t = 0 + 2 = 2
    -3 < t < 3 amplitude of zt = x1t + x2t = 1 + 2 = 3
    3 < t < 10 amplitude of zt = x1t + x2t = 0 + 2 = 2

    Subtraction
    subtraction of two signals is nothing but subtraction of their corresponding amplitudes. This can be
    best explained by the following example:

    As seen from the diagram above,


    -10 < t < -3 amplitude of z t = x1t - x2t = 0 - 2 = -2
    -3 < t < 3 amplitude of z t = x1t - x2t = 1 - 2 = -1
    3 < t < 10 amplitude of z t = x1t + x2t = 0 - 2 = -2

    Multiplication
    Multiplication of two signals is nothing but multiplication of their corresponding amplitudes. This
    can be best explained by the following example:

    As seen from the diagram above,


    -10 < t < -3 amplitude of z t = x1t x2t = 0 2 = 0
    -3 < t < 3 amplitude of z t = x1t x2t = 1 2 = 2
    3 < t < 10 amplitude of z t = x1t x2t = 0 2 = 0
    The following operations can be performed with time:

    Time Shifting
    x(t $\pm$ t0 ) is time shifted version of the signal xt .
    x (t + t0 ) negative shift
    x (t - t0 ) positive shift

    Time Scaling
    xAt is time scaled version of the signal xt . where A is always positive.
    |A| > 1 Compression of the signal
    |A| < 1 Expansion of the signal

    Note: uat = ut time scaling is not applicable for unit step function.

    Time Reversal
    xt is the time reversal of the signal xt .
