SIGNALS & SYSTEMS

Signal :A signal describes a time varying physical phenomenon which is intended to convey
information. (or) Signal is a function of time or any other variable of interest. (or) Signal is a
function of one or more independent variables, which contain some information.

Example: voice signal, video signal, signals on telephone wires, EEG, ECG etc.

Signals may be of continuous time or discrete time signals.

System :System is a device or combination of devices, which can operate on signals and
produces corresponding response. Input to a system is called as excitation and output from it is
called as response. (or) System is a combination of sub units which will interact with each other
to achieve a common interest.

For one or more inputs, the system can have one or more outputs.

Example: Communication System

Elementary Signals or Basic Signals:

Unit Step Function

Unit step function is denoted by u(t). It is defined as u(t) = 1 when t ≥ 0 and

0 when t < 0

• It is used as best testsignal.

• Area under unit step function isunity.

Ramp Signal

Ramp signal is denoted by r(t), and it is defined as r(t) =

Area under unit ramp is unity.

Parabolic Signal

Parabolic signal can be defined as x(t)=

Signum Function

Signum function is denoted as sgn(t). It is defined as sgn(t) =

sgn(t) = 2u(t) – 1

Exponential Signal

.The shape of exponential can be defined by α

Casei:if α= 0→x(t) = e0= 1

Caseii:if α< 0i.e.-vethenx(t) =e−αt

. The shape is called decaying exponential.

Caseiii:if α> 0i.e.+vethen x(t)=eαt

. The shape is called raising exponential.

Rectangular Signal

Triangular Signal

Let it be denoted as x(t)

Sinusoidal Signal

Sinusoidalsignalisin theformof x(t)=Acos( w0±ϕ)orAsin(w0±ϕ)

Where T0 = 2π/w0

Classification of Signals:

Signals are classified into the following categories:

• Continuous Time and Discrete TimeSignals

• Deterministic and Non-deterministicSignals
• Even and Odd Signals
• Periodic and AperiodicSignals
• Energy and PowerSignals
• Real and Imaginary Signals
Continuous Time and Discrete Time Signals

A signal is said to be continuous when it is defined for all instants of time.

A signal is said to be discrete when it is defined at only discrete instants of time/

Deterministic and Non-deterministic Signals

A signal is said to be deterministic if there is no uncertainty with respect to its value at

any instant of time. Or, signals which can be defined exactly by a mathematical formula are
known as deterministicsignals.
 A signal is said to be non-deterministic if there is uncertainty with respect to its value at
some instant of time. Non-deterministic signals are random in nature hence they are called
random signals. Random signals cannot be described by a mathematical equation. They are
modelled in probabilistic terms.

Even and Odd Signals

A signal is said to be even when it satisfies the condition x(t) = x(-t)

Example 1: t2, t4… cost etc.

Let x(t) = t2

x(-t) = (-t)2 = t2 =x(t)

∴ t2is evenfunction

Example 2: As shown in the following diagram, rectangle function x(t) = x(-t) so it is also even
function.
A signal is said to be odd when it satisfies the condition x(t) = -x(-t)

Example: t, t3 ... And sin t

Let x(t) = sin t

x(-t) = sin(-t) = -sin t = -x(t)

∴ sin t is odd function.

Any function ƒ(t) can be expressed as the sum of its even function ƒe(t) and odd function ƒo(t).

ƒ(t ) = ƒe(t ) + ƒ0(t )

where

ƒe(t ) = ½[ƒ(t ) +ƒ(-t )]

Periodic and Aperiodic Signals

A signal is said to be periodic if it satisfies the condition x(t) = x(t + T) or x(n) = x(n + N).

Where

T = fundamental time period,

1/T = f = fundamentalfrequency.
The above signal will repeat for every time interval T0 hence it is periodic with period T0.

Energy and Power Signals

A signal is said to be energy signal when it has finite energy.

A signal is said to be power signal when it has finite power.

NOTE:A signal cannot be both, energy and power simultaneously. Also, a signal may be neither
energy nor power signal.

Power of energy signal = 0

Energy of power signal = ∞

Real and Imaginary Signals

A signal is said to be real when it satisfies the condition x(t) = x*(t)

A signal is said to be odd when it satisfies the condition x(t) = -x*(t)
Example:
If x(t)= 3 then x*(t)=3*=3 here x(t) is a real signal.
If x(t)= 3j then x*(t)=3j* = -3j = -x(t) hence x(t) is a odd signal.
Note: For a real signal, imaginary part should be zero. Similarly for an imaginary signal, real
part should be zero.
Basic operations on Signals:
There are two variable parameters in general:

1. Amplitude
2. Time

(1) The following operation can be performed withamplitude:

Amplitude Scaling

C x(t) is a amplitude scaled version of x(t) 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 previous diagram,

-10 < t < -3 amplitude of z(t) = x1(t) + x2(t) = 0 + 2 = 2

-3 < t < 3 amplitude of z(t) = x1(t) + x2(t) = 1 + 2 = 3

3 < t < 10 amplitude of z(t) = x1(t) + x2(t) = 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) = x1(t) - x2(t) = 0 - 2 = -2

-3 < t < 3 amplitude of z (t) = x1(t) - x2(t) = 1 - 2 = -1

3 < t < 10 amplitude of z (t) = x1(t) - x2(t) = 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) = x1(t) ×x2(t) = 0 ×2 = 0

-3 < t < 3 amplitude of z (t) = x1(t) - x2(t) = 1 ×2 = 2
3 < t < 10 amplitude of z (t) = x1(t) - x2(t) = 0 × 2 = 0

(2) The following operations can be performed withtime:

Time Shifting

x(t ±t0) is time shifted version of the signal x(t).

x (t + t0) →negative shift
x (t - t0) →positive shift

Time Scaling

x(At) is time scaled version of the signal x(t). where A is always positive.
 |A| > 1 → Compression of the signal

|A| < 1 → Expansion of the signal

Note: u(at) = u(t) time scaling is not applicable for unit step function.

Time Reversal

x(-t) is the time reversal of the signal x(t).

Classification of Systems:

Systems are classified into the following categories:

• Liner and Non-linerSystems

• Time Variant and Time InvariantSystems
• Liner Time variant and Liner Time invariantsystems
• Static and DynamicSystems
• Causal and Non-causalSystems
• Invertible and Non-InvertibleSystems
• Stable and UnstableSystems
Linear and Non-linear Systems

A system is said to be linear when it satisfies superposition and homogenate principles.

Consider two systems with inputs as x1(t), x2(t), and outputs as y1(t), y2(t) respectively. Then,
according to the superposition and homogenate principles,

T [a1 x1(t) + a2 x2(t)] = a1 T[x1(t)] + a2 T[x2(t)]

∴ T [a1 x1(t) + a2 x2(t)] = a1y1(t) + a2 y2(t)

From the above expression, is clear that response of overall system is equal to response of
individual system.

Example:

y(t) = x2(t)

Solution:

y1 (t) = T[x1(t)] = x21(t)

y2 (t) = T[x2(t)] = x22(t)

T [a1 x1(t) + a2 x2(t)] = [ a1 x1(t) + a2 x2(t)]2

Which is not equal to a1y1(t) + a2 y2(t). Hence the system is said to be non linear.

Time Variant and Time Invariant Systems

A system is said to be time variant if its input and output characteristics vary with time.
Otherwise, the system is considered as time invariant.

The condition for time invariant system is:

y (n , t) = y(n-t)

The condition for time variant system is:

y (n , t) ≠ y(n-t)

Where y (n , t) = T[x(n-t)] = inputchange

y (n-t) = output change

Example:

y(n) = x(-n)

y(n, t) = T[x(n-t)] = x(-n-t)

y(n-t) = x(-(n-t)) = x(-n + t)

∴ y(n, t) ≠ y(n-t). Hence, the system is time variant.

Liner Time variant (LTV) and Liner Time Invariant (LTI) Systems

If a system is both liner and time variant, then it is called liner time variant (LTV) system.

If a system is both liner and time Invariant then that system is called liner time invariant (LTI)
system.

Static and Dynamic Systems

Static system is memory-less whereas dynamic system is a memory system.

Example 1: y(t) = 2 x(t)

For present value t=0, the system output is y(0) = 2x(0). Here, the output is only dependent upon
present input. Hence the system is memory less or static.

Example 2: y(t) = 2 x(t) + 3 x(t-3)

For present value t=0, the system output is y(0) = 2x(0) + 3x(-3).

Here x(-3) is past value for the present input for which the system requires memory to get this
output. Hence, the system is a dynamic system.

Causal and Non-Causal Systems

A system is said to be causal if its output depends upon present and past inputs, and does not
depend upon future input.

For non causal system, the output depends upon future inputs also.

Example 1: y(n) = 2 x(t) + 3 x(t-3)

For present value t=1, the system output is y(1) = 2x(1) + 3x(-2).

Here, the system output only depends upon present and past inputs. Hence, the system is causal.
Example 2: y(n) = 2 x(t) + 3 x(t-3) + 6x(t + 3)

For present value t=1, the system output is y(1) = 2x(1) + 3x(-2) + 6x(4) Here, the system output
depends upon future input. Hence the system is non-causal system.

Invertible and Non-Invertible systems

A system is said to invertible if the input of the system appears at the output.

Y(S) = X(S) H1(S) H2(S)

= X(S) H1(S) · 1(H1(S))

Since H2(S) = 1/( H1(S) )

∴ Y(S) = X(S)

→ y(t) = x(t)
Hence, the system is invertible.

If y(t) ≠ x(t), then the system is said to be non-invertible.

Stable and Unstable Systems

The system is said to be stable only when the output is bounded for bounded input. For a
bounded input, if the output is unbounded in the system then it is said to be unstable.

Note: For a bounded signal, amplitude is finite.

Example 1: y (t) = x2(t)

Let the input is u(t) (unit step bounded input) then the output y(t) = u2(t) = u(t) = bounded
output.

Hence, the system is stable.

Example 2: y (t) = ∫x(t)dt

Let the input is u (t) (unit step bounded input) then the output y(t) = ∫u(t)dt= ramp signal
(unbounded because amplitude of ramp is not finite it goes to infinite when t → infinite).

Hence, the system is unstable.

Analogy Between Vectors and Signals:

There is a perfect analogy between vectors and signals.

Vector

A vector contains magnitude and direction. The name of the vector is denoted by bold
face type and their magnitude is denoted by light face type.

Example: V is a vector with magnitude V. Consider two vectors V1 and V2 as shown in the
following diagram. Let the component of V1 along with V2is given by C12V2. The component of
a vector V1along with the vector V2 can obtained by taking a perpendicular from the end of V1 to
the vector V2 as shown indiagram:

The vector V1can be expressed in terms of vector V2

V1= C12V2 + Ve

Where Ve is the error vector.

But this is not the only way of expressing vector V1 in terms of V2. The alternate possibilities
are:

V1=C1V2+Ve1
V2=C2V2+Ve2

The error signal is minimum for large component value. If C12=0, then two signals are said to be
orthogonal.

Dot Product of Two Vectors

V1 . V2 = V1.V2cosθ

θ = Angle between V1 and V2

V1. V2 =V2.V1

From the diagram, components of V1a long V2 = C 12 V2

Signal

The concept of orthogonality can be applied to signals. Let us consider two signals f1(t) and f2(t).
Similar to vectors, you can approximate f1(t) in terms of f2(t) as

f1(t) = C12 f2(t) + fe(t) for (t1< t < t2)

⇒ fe(t) = f1(t) – C12 f2(t)

One possible way of minimizing the error is integrating over the interval t1 to t2.

However, this step also does not reduce the error to appreciable extent. This can be corrected by
taking the square of error function.

Where ε is the mean square value of error signal. The value of C12 which minimizes the error,
you need to calculate dε/dC12=0

Derivative of the terms which do not have C12 term are zero.

Put C12 = 0 to get condition for orthogonality.

Orthogonal Vector Space

A complete set of orthogonal vectors is referred to as orthogonal vector space. Consider a three
dimensional vector space as shown below:

Consider a vector A at a point (X1, Y1, Z1). Consider three unit vectors (VX, VY, VZ) in the
direction of X, Y, Z axis respectively. Since these unit vectors are mutually orthogonal, it satisfies
that

We can write above conditions as

The vector A can be represented in terms of its components and unit vectors as

Any vectors in this three dimensional space can be represented in terms of these three unit
vectors only.

If you consider n dimensional space, then any vector A in that space can be represented as

As the magnitude of unit vectors is unity for any vector A

The component of A along x axis =A.VX

ThecomponentofAalongYaxis=A.VY The
component of A along Z axis =A.VZ

Similarly, for n dimensional space, the component of A along some G axis

=A.VG....................... (3)
Substitute equation 2 in equation 3.
Orthogonal Signal Space

Let us consider a set of n mutually orthogonal functions x1(t), x2(t)... xn(t) over the
interval t1 to t2. As these functions are orthogonal to each other, any two signals xj(t), xk(t) have
to satisfy the orthogonality condition.i.e.

Let a function f(t), it can be approximated with this orthogonal signal space by adding the
components along mutually orthogonal signals i.e.

The component which minimizes the mean square error can be found by
All terms that do not contain Ck is zero. i.e. in summation, r=k term remains and all other terms
are zero.

Mean Square Error:

The average of square of error function fe(t) is called as mean square error. It is denoted by ε
(epsilon).
The above equation is used to evaluate the mean square error.

Closed and Complete Set of Orthogonal Functions:

Let us consider a set of n mutually orthogonal functions x1(t), x2(t)...xn(t) over the interval
t1 to t2. This is called as closed and complete set when there exist no function f(t) satisfying the
condition

If this function is satisfying the equation

For k=1,2,.. then f(t) is said to be orthogonal to each and every function of orthogonal set.
This set is incomplete without f(t). It becomes closed and complete set when f(t) is included.
f(t) can be approximated with this orthogonal set by adding the components along mutually
orthogonal signals i.e.

Orthogonality in Complex Functions:

If f1(t) and f2(t) are two complex functions, then f1(t) can be expressed in terms of f2(t) as

f1(t)=C12f2(t).. withnegligible error

Where f2*(t) is the complex conjugate of f 2(t)

If f1(t) and f2(t) are orthogonal then C12 = 0

The above equation represents orthogonality condition in complex functions.

Fourier series:

To represent any periodic signal x(t), Fourier developed an expression called Fourier
series. This is in terms of an infinite sum of sines and cosines or exponentials. Fourier series uses
orthoganality condition.

Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier,aFrench mathematician and a physicist; was born in

Auxerre, France. He initialized Fourier series, Fourier transforms and their applications to
problems of heat transfer and vibrations. The Fourier series, Fourier transforms and Fourier's
Law are named in hishonour.

Fourier Series Representation of Continuous Time Periodic Signals

A signal is said to be periodic if it satisfies the condition x (t) = x (t + T) or x (n) = x (n + N).

Where T = fundamental time period,

ω0= fundamental frequency = 2π/T

There are two basic periodic signals:

x(t)=cosω0t(sinusoidal)
&x(t)=ejω0t(complex exponential)
These two signals are periodic with period T=2π/ω0

. A set of harmonically related complex exponentials can be represented as {ϕk(t)}

All these signals are periodic with period T

According to orthogonal signal space approximation of a function x (t) with n, mutually
orthogonal functions is given by

Where ak= Fourier coefficient = coefficient of approximation.

This signal x(t) is also periodic with period T.
Equation 2 represents Fourier series representation of periodic signal x(t).
The term k = 0 is constant.
The term k=±1 having fundamental frequency ω0 , is called as 1st harmonics.
The term k=±2 having fundamental frequency 2ω0 , is called as 2nd harmonics, and so
on... The term k=±n having fundamental frequency nω0, is called as nth harmonics.

Deriving Fourier Coefficient

We know that

Multiplye−jnω0tonbothsides.Then

Consider integral on both sides.

by Euler's formula,

Hence in equation 2, the integral is zero for all values of k except at k = n. Put k = n in
equation 2.

Replace n by k

Trigonometric Fourier Series (TFS)

sinnω0tand sinmω0t are orthogonal over the interval (t0,t0+2πω0). So sinω0t,sin2ω0tforms

an orthogonal set. This set is not complete without {cosnω0t } because this cosine set is also
orthogonal to sine set. So to complete this set we must include both cosine and sine terms. Now
the complete orthogonal set contains all cosine and sine terms i.e. {sinnω0t,cosnω0t} where n=0,
1,2...

The above equation represents trigonometric Fourier series representation of x(t).

Exponential Fourier Series (EFS):

Consider a set of complex exponential functions

which is orthogonal over the interval (t0,t0+T). Where T=2π/ω0 . This is a complete set so it is
possible to represent any function f(t) as shown below

(t0, t0+T). The Fourier coefficient is given as

CONTINUOUS TIME FOURIER TRANSFORM

INTRODUCTION:

The main drawback of Fourier series is, it is only applicable to periodic signals. There
aresome naturally produced signals such as nonperiodic or aperiodic, which we cannot represent
using Fourier series. To overcome this shortcoming, Fourier developed a mathematical model to
transform signals between time (or spatial) domain to frequency domain & vice versa, which is
called 'Fouriertransform'.

Fourier transform has many applications in physics and engineering such as analysis of
LTI systems, RADAR, astronomy, signal processing etc.

Deriving Fourier transform from Fourier series:

Consider a periodic signal f(t) with period T. The complex Fourier series representation
of f(t) is given as

satisfies Dirichlet’s conditions. i.e.

• The function f(t) has finite number of maxima andminima.

• There must be finite number of discontinuities in the signal f(t),in the given interval of

Sampling Theorem and its Importance:

Statement of Sampling Theorem:
A band limited signal can be reconstructed exactly if it is sampled at a rate atleast twice
the maximum frequency component in it."

The following figure shows a signal g(t) that is bandlimited.

Figure1: Spectrum of band limited signal g(t)

The maximum frequency component of g(t) is fm. To recover the signal g(t) exactly from its
samples it has to be sampled at a rate fs ≥ 2fm.
The minimum required sampling rate fs = 2fm is called “Nyquist rate”.
Proof:
Let g(t) be a bandlimited signal whose bandwidth is fm (ωm =2πfm).

Figure 2: (a) Original signal g(t) (b) SpectrumG(ω)

Figure 3:

Let gs(t) be the sampled signal. Its Fourier Transform Gs(ω) is given by
Aliasing:
Aliasing is a phenomenon where the high frequency components of the sampled signal
interfere with each other because of inadequate sampling ωs<ωm

Aliasing leads to distortion in recovered signal. This is the reason why sampling
frequency should be atleast twice the bandwidth of the signal.
Oversampling:
In practice signal are oversampled, where fs is signi_cantly higher than Nyquist rate to
avoid aliasing.

called the phase spectrum. From equation (2) we can see that is a periodic function
with period i.e.. We can interpret (1) as Fourier coefficients in the representation of a
periodic function. In the Fourier series analysis our attention is on the periodic function, here we
are concerned with the representation of the signal. So the roles of the two equation are
interchanged compared to the Fourier series analysis of periodicsignals.

Now we show that if we put equation (2) in equation (1) we indeed get the signal.
Let

Since we have used n as index on the left hand side we have used m as the index variable forthe

For discrete-time signals, however, a should be an integer. Let us define a signal with k a
positive integer,

compressed.

Example: Consider the sequence x[n] displayed in the figure (a) below. This sequence can be
related to the simpler sequence y[n] as shown in (b).

THROUGH LINEAR SYSTEMS

SIGNAL TRANSMISSION THROUGH LINEAR SYSTEMS

Linear Systems:

A system is said to be linear when it satisfies superposition and homogenate principles.

Consider two systems with inputs as x1(t), x2(t), and outputs as y1(t), y2(t) respectively. Then,
according to the superposition and homogenate principles,

T [a1 x1(t) + a2 x2(t)] = a1 T[x1(t)] + a2 T[x2(t)]

∴ T [a1 x1(t) + a2 x2(t)] = a1y1(t) + a2 y2(t)

From the above expression, is clear that response of overall system is equal to response of
individual system.

Example:

y(t) = 2x(t)

Solution:

y1 (t) = T[x1(t)] = 2x1(t)

y2 (t) = T[x2(t)] = 2x2(t)

T [a1 x1(t) + a2 x2(t)] = 2[ a1 x1(t) + a2 x2(t)]

Which is equal to a1y1(t) + a2 y2(t). Hence the system is said to be linear.

Impulse Response:

The impulse response of a system is its response to the input δ(t) when the system is
initially at rest. The impulse response is usually denoted h(t). In other words, if the input to an
initially at rest system is δ(t) then the output is named h(t).

δ(t) h(t)
system
Liner Time variant (LTV) and Liner Time Invariant (LTI) Systems

If a system is both liner and time variant, then it is called liner time variant (LTV) system.

If a system is both liner and time Invariant then that system is called liner time invariant (LTI)
system.
Response of a continuous-time LTI system and the convolution integral

(i) Impulse Response:

The impulse response h(t) of a continuous-time LTI system (represented by T) is defined to
be the response of the system when the input is δ(t), that is,

h(t)=T{δ(t)}------------ (1)
(ii) Response to an ArbitraryInput:

The input x(t) can be expressed as

--------(2)
Since the system is linear, the response y(t of the system to an arbitrary input x( t ) can be
expressed as

--------(3)

Since the system is time-invariant, we have

--------(4)
Substituting Eq. (4) into Eq. (3), we obtain

-------(5)
Equation (5) indicates that a continuous-time LTI system is completely characterized by its impulse
response h( t).
(iii) ConvolutionIntegral:
Equation (5) defines the convolution of two continuous-time signals x ( t ) and h(t) denoted
by

-------(6)
 Equation (6) is commonly called the convolution integral. Thus, we have the fundamental
result that the output of any continuous-time LTI system is the convolution of the input x ( t ) with
the impulse response h(t) of the system. The following figure illustrates the definition of the impulse
response h(t) and the relationship of Eq.(6).

Fig.: Continuous-time LTl system.

(iv) Properties of the Convolution Integral:

The convolution integral has the following properties.

(v) StepResponse:
The step response s(t) of a continuous-time LTI system (represented by T) is defined to
be the response of the system when the input is u(t); that is,
S(t)= T{u(t)}
In many applications, the step response s(t) is also a useful characterization of the system.
The step response s(t) can be easily determined by,

Thus, the step response s(t) can be obtained by integrating the impulse response h(t).
Differentiating the above equation with respect to t, we get

Thus, the impulse response h(t) can be determined by differentiating the step response s(t).
Distortion less transmission through a system:

Transmission is said to be distortion-less if the input and output have identical wave
shapes. i.e., in distortion-less transmission, the input x(t) and output y(t) satisfy the condition:

y (t) = Kx(t - td)

Where td = delay time and

k = constant.

Take Fourier transform on both sides

FT[ y (t)] = FT[Kx(t -td)]

= K FT[x(t -td)]

According to time shifting property,

Thus, distortion less transmission of a signal x(t) through a system with impulse response h(t) is
achieved when

|H(ω)|=K and (amplitude response)

A physical transmission system may have amplitude and phase responses as shown below:

FILTERING
One of the most basic operations in any signal processing system is filtering. Filtering is
the process by which the relative amplitudes of the frequency components in a signal are
changed or perhaps some frequency components are suppressed. As we saw in the preceding
section, for continuous-time LTI systems, the spectrum of the output is that of the input
multiplied by the frequency response of the system. Therefore, an LTI system acts as a filter on
the input signal. Here the word "filter" is used to denote a system that exhibits some sort of
frequency-selectivebehavior.

A. Ideal Frequency-Selective Filters:

An ideal frequency-selective filter is one that exactly passes signals at one set of
frequencies and completely rejects the rest. The band of frequencies passed by the filter is
referred to as the pass band, and the band of frequencies rejected by the filter is called the stop
band.
The most common types of ideal frequency-selective filters are the following.

1. Ideal Low-PassFilter:
An ideal low-pass filter (LPF) is specified by

The frequency wcis called the cutoff frequency.

Properties of ROC of Laplace Transform

 ROC contains strip lines parallel to jω axis in s-plane.
 If x(t) is absolutely integral and it is of finite duration, then ROC is entire s-plane.

If x(t) is a right sided sequence then ROC : Re{s} >σo.

If x(t) is a left sided sequence then ROC : Re{s} <σo.

 If x(t) is a two sided sequence then ROC is the combination of two regions.

ROC can be explained by making use of examples given below:

Example 1: Find the Laplace transform and ROC of x(t)=e− at u(t)x(t)=e−atu(t)

Example 2: Find the Laplace transform and ROC of x(t)=e at u(−t)x(t)=eatu(−t)

Example 3: Find the Laplace transform and ROC of x(t)=e −at u(t)+e at u(−t)
x(t)=e−atu(t)+eatu(−t)

Referring to the above diagram, combination region lies from –a to a. Hence,

ROC: −a<Res<a
Causality and Stability
For a system to be causal, all poles of its transfer function must be right half of s-plane.

A system is said to be stable when all poles of its transfer function lay on the left half of

Region of Convergence (ROC) of Z-Transform

The range of variation of z for which z-transform converges is called region of convergence of z-
transform.

Properties of ROC of Z-Transforms

• ROC of z-transform is indicated with circle in z-plane.

• ROC does not contain anypoles.

• If x(n) is a finite duration causal sequence or right sided sequence, then the ROC isentire
z-plane except at z =0.

• If x(n) is a finite duration anti-causal sequence or left sided sequence, then the ROCis
entire z-plane except at z =∞.

• If x(n) is a infinite duration causal sequence, ROC is exterior of the circle with radiusa.
i.e. |z| > a.

• If x(n) is a infinite duration anti-causal sequence, ROC is interior of the circle withradius
a. i.e. |z| < a.

• If x(n) is a finite duration two sided sequence, then the ROC is entire z-plane except atz
= 0 & z = ∞.

The concept of ROC can be explained by the following example:

Example 1: Find z-transform and ROC of a n u[n]+a − nu[−n−1] anu[n]+a−nu[−n−1]

The plot of ROC has two conditions as a > 1 and a < 1, as we do not know a.
In this case, there is no combination ROC.

Here, the combination of ROC is from a<|z|<1/a

Hence for this problem, z-transform is possible when a < 1.

Causality and Stability

Causality condition for discrete time LTI systems is as follows:

A discrete time LTI system is causal when

• ROC is outside the outermostpole.

• In The transfer function H[Z], the order of numerator cannot be grater than the order of
denominator.
Stability Condition for Discrete Time LTI Systems
A discrete time LTI system is stable when

• its system function H[Z] include unit circle|z|=1.

• all poles of the transfer function lay inside the unit circle|z|=1.

Find X(z) and its ROC.

Sol: We know that

For z not equal to zero or infinity, each term in X(z) will be finite and consequently X(z) will
converge. Note that X ( z ) includes both positive powers of z and negative powers of z. Thus,
from the result we conclude that the ROC of X ( z ) is 0 <lzl< m.

Example: Consider the sequence

Find X ( z ) and plot the poles and zeros of X(z).

Sol:

From the above equation we see that there is a pole of ( N- 1)thorder at z = 0 and a pole at z = a .
Since x[n] is a finite sequence and is zero for n < 0, the ROC is IzI>0. The N roots of the
numerator polynomial are at

The root at k = 0 cancels the pole at z = a. The remaining zeros of X ( z ) are at
