2.1 – Introduction to Signals

The notion of signals is intuitive and comes from a large variety of contexts.

Any measurement that is done: in numbers for example, any register that is made

o of the performance of a machine

o of the performance of an engine

o of the consumption of a vehicle a long of a trip

any measurement done: by using any measurement device or tool; or

any recording done, of a sound, or of an image (photo) or even of a video, can easily become in a signal.

There is a ‘language’ used to describe signals, as well as there is also a very powerful set of ‘tools’ to analyse them.

In this present chapter we deal with the ‘language’ that describe the signals. In the others chapters ahead we deal with the ‘tools’ to analyse them.

2.2 – Examples of Signals

The signals are used to describe a large variety of physical phenomenon and can be defined by many different ways: by number, or by graphics, or by a sequence of digits

(bits) to be introduced in the computer, etc.

Circuito RCThe voltage signal vs(t) at the source or

the voltage signal vc(t) in the capacitor, as

well as the current signal i(t) that crosses the only loop of this circuit can be measured by tools

(voltmeter / amperemeter)

Car The cars run when we accelerate them.

the force is equal to mass x acceleration

[ f(t) = m⋅a(t) ] ,

where m = car mass.

Signal Analysis______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

But this is equivalent to inflict a force f(t)that will pull the car, since by Newton

Second Law,

Signals of force f(t), of displacement x(t)and of velocity v(t) of a car.

Voice / human speech

The human vocal mechanism produce speech by creating fluctuations in the acoustic pressure.

The voice signal is obtained through the use of a microphone that receives the variations of acoustic pressure and convert in electric signals.

Signal Analysis______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The air is expelled from the lungs by the diaphragm and in its way produce vibrations.

These vibrations are modified, or moulded, when passing through the vocals cords, such as by the mouth, lips and the tongue in order to produce the sounds that on wishes.

These signals can be used to record the voice sound or to be transmitted (telephone or mobile for example).

Radio transmissions (AM & FM)

A radio transmission is also composed of electric signals that transport the sound(voice, music, etc.)

A carrier wave (signal of much higher frequency) carries the modulated signal

(sound), either modulated in amplitude (AM) or in frequency (FM).

The music recorded in a CD or stored in the computer (format wav, wma or mp3, for example) is done through a series of numbers, a digital sequence of “zeros” and “ones”, that represent the electric voltages (in Volts) of the audio signal a long of the time.

So, the analogic signal of audio is converted in a digital signal, that is, binary data, at a rate that is measured in “bps” (bits per second).

It is obvious that the bigger is the number of bits per second the better will be the quality of the reproduction of the sound.

Some usual values of the rate in music recording are:

96 thousands bits per second [96kbps], or

128 thousands bits per second [128 kbps], or

192 thousands bits per second [192 kbps], or

256 thousands bits per second [256 kbps].

There are electronic devices that transform the analogic signal in digital (A/D converters) as well as electronic devices that transform a digital signal in analogic (D/Aconverters).

Digital Music (mp3 and others)

Electrocardiogram (ECG)

The electrocardiograph is a device that measures electrical signals from the heart to produce an electrocardiogram (ECG).

Electrocardiography studies the electrical activity of the heart from electrodes placed in certain points of the human body.

Typical ECG signal

Electrocardiogram (ECG) recording is a common practice in today's medicine, since it is of recognized value for the identification and prognosis of cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, among other pathological conditions.

Electroencephalogram (EEG)

The electroencephalograph is a machine that records the graph of electrical brain signals developed in the brain producing electroencephalogram (EEG).

Therefore the electrodes are placed in predefined positions on the scalp of the patient and an amplifier increases the intensity of the electrical potentials to be built an graphic (EEG) that can be analog or digital (depending on the equipment).

This is done through electrodes that are applied to the scalp, the brain surface, or even (in some cases) within the brain.

These observed brain signals are very weak.

Monochrome image (black-white)

A monochromatic (black-white) image consists of a pattern of variations in brightness across it.

A monochrome photo (black-white)the brightness intensity signal.

That is, the image signal is a function of the brightness intensity at all points of the image (two-dimensional).

Therefore, the signal of a monochromatic photo is a function f(x,y), that is,

it must have intensity (x) and brightness (y) information at each point on the surface of the photo.

Signal Analysis______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Coloured images

If the image is colored, the signal obviously becomes more complex. In this case the colors will have a tonal representation of 3 basic elements / colors.

Sometimes the image is broken down into 3 basic colors, which are commonly

“red”, “green” and “blue”

which is called as the color-coding RGB.

But other color codes are also used, such as the “magenta”, the “cyan” and the “yellow”, which is common in color printers and in computer systems in general.

Signal Analysis______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Alternatively, the tonal representation can be made by supplying the 3 elementsbelow:

o hue (tonality),o saturation eo luminosity.

Signal Analysis______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Therefore, each point on the photo surface of a color photo will have to have 3 colour information or 3 elements (not just one as in the monochromeor black-white photos).

For example, this color seen here below has a tonal representation given by:

(255, 128,64) in the RGB form, or by

(13, 240,150) in the hue, saturation and luminosity form.

On the other hand, this other color (green), for example, is represented by:

(0, 128,0) in the RGB form, or by

(83, 240,60) in the hue, saturation and luminosity form.

The transmission of images such as on “television broadcasting”, for example, requires even more sophisticated signals.

TV broadcasts

While a photograph is a “static” signal, fixed in time, the transmissions of images via TV are “dynamic” signals because they change with time.

Since colour TV has

emerged, many broadcast

systems have already been

created, such as the PALsystem (European), the

NTSC system (American),

or more recently, the

HDTV.

Figure shows an examples of a signal RGB (red,green and blue) from a TV broadcast.

Signal Analysis______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Besides that, in TV broadcast the sound information also has to follow along with the

image.

Economic and demographic indexes

Economic indexes (or indicators) (which normally only go out once a month) such as:

inflation (monthly);

unemployment rate (monthly);

give rise to discrete signals (i.e., non-continuous signal).

The stock exchange index is also an example of a discrete signal, although this is not monthly but rather daily.

There are many other examples of economic indices or indicators such as exchange rates or growth rates of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), etc.

Signal Analysis______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Page 15: analise sinais ppt02e (Signals) - UBIwebx.ubi.pt/~felippe/texts2/analise_sinais_ppt02e.pdf · 2.2 –Examples of Signals The signals are used to describe a large variety of physical

Any of these indices, if taken over a long period of time and the points are connected, one gets the impression that the signal is continuous.

The exchange rates of one currency against the other are examples of discrete signals although they can be taken daily, hourly or even minute by minute, if we wish.

This is similar to the case of music, or images, or videos scanned and saved in our computer (digital audio or video systems) or digital transmission of images, cases already mentioned in previous examples.

Other cases of discrete signals:

o birth rates of a nation (year over year over a period);

o consumption of a vehicle [ l /100 km ] (measured each time it is supplied);

o profit of a commercial establishment (month by month, over the years);

etc.

Signal Analysis______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

For example, the Euro exchange rate (€) against the US dollar (US $) over several years.

2.3 – Continuous and discrete signals

To distinguish continuous and discrete signals in time we will use

“t” to denote time as a continuous independent variable and

“n” to denote time as a discrete independent variable.

Moreover, in continuous signals we use normal parentheses ( ),

x(t), y(t), v(t), etc.

while in discrete signals we use brackets [ ], x[n], y[n], v[n], etc.

This is a notation commonly adopted in the Signal Analysis.

A discrete signal may be the representation of an inherently discrete phenomenon (system), such as the case of demographic indices or stock market indices.

On the other hand there are also discrete time signals that come from the sampling of continuous signals.

digital audio or video systems,

the digital audio or video systems, already mentioned above, or, to mention another example:

digital autopilot;

These systems require the use of time-discrete sequences which are representations (discretizations) of time-continuous signals.

Thus, signals that are naturally continuous in time are made discrete signals (by

sampling) for this purpose, for example:

the voice;

the music;

the sound in general;

the photos appearing in newspapers and books;

the images from a recorded movie video;

etc.

the position of the aircraft;

the velocity of the aircraft;

the direction of the aircraft.

digital autopilot

digital imaging systems

digital audio systems

Note that this scan is done with a very large number of points. In the case of digital music, as we have seen, it can have more than 250,000 points in each second [256 kbps]

2.4 – Dynamic and static signals

Signal Analysis______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Signals are represented mathematically as functions of one or more independent variables.

In several signals the time ‘t’ is the independent variable (or one of the independent variables), for example, in the case of:

dynamic physical systems.

However, there are signals that ‘time’ does not appear as an independent variable.These signals are called

static signals, or non-dynamic signals,

because they do not evolve in time, and therefore represent static physical systems.

RC circuitcarradio broadcasts

dynamic signals,

Therefore, these signals are of the type x(t), y(t), f(t) or f(x,t), etc. and are called

because they vary with time (or evolve in time, or propagate in time, etc.), and therefore represent

2.5 – Energy and Power of a Signal

In many, but not all, applications, the signals are directly related to physical quantities that capture or absorb energy and power in the physical system.

For example, in the case of the RC circuit the instantaneous power in the resistor R is:

)t(vR

1)t(i)t(v)t(p 2=⋅=

where:

v(t) = voltage in the resistor R;

i(t) = current in the resistor R.

Similarly in the case of the above example of the car, the power dissipated by the friction is:

)t(v)t(p 2⋅ρ=where ρ = friction coefficient of the surface.

Finally, there are signals that both have: E∞ = ∞ and P∞ = ∞.

2.6 – Transformations of the independent variable

Time shifting (translation):

The “time shifting”, or just “shift”, is the lateral sliding (translation) to the right or

left of the signal x[n] (in the discrete case) or x(t) (in the continuous case).

This is achieved by changing the independent variable, the time ‘n’ or ‘t’:

n → n ± no

t → t ± to.

Time scaling:

Time scaling is actually a change in the time scale ‘n’ (in the discrete case) or ‘t’ (in the continuous case).

n → a n or t → a t.

This is achieved by changing the independent variable, the time ‘n’ or ‘t’:

to a constant a > 0.

Compression or shrinkage

discrete signal: x[n] x[an] , a > 1.

continuous signal: x(t) x(at), a > 1.

Expansion or stretching

discrete signal: x[n] x[an] , 0 < a < 1.

continuous signal: x(t) x(at), 0 < a < 1.

2.7 – Periodic signals

A continuous signal x(t) is periodic if ∃ T > 0 such that

x(t) = x(t + T) , ∀ t eq. (2.12)

T is called the ‘period’ of x(t).

That is, a periodic signal x(t) stays unchangeable if we shift of T (the period) units of time.

If a signal x(t) is periodic with period T then x(t) is also periodic with period 2T,

3T, 4T, …

The fundamental period To of x(t), is the least positive value of T for which the eq. (2.12) above is valid.

This definition has an exception, which is the case of

x(t) = C (constant) , ∀ t

which is also periodic since any value T > 0 is a period of this signal, but nevertheless

there is no fundamental period To for it.

Exemplo 2.6:

It is easy to verify that To = (2π/a) is the ‘fundamental period’ of the periodic signal:

x1(t) = b ⋅ cos (at + c)

and that To = (π/a) is the ‘fundamental period’ of the periodic signal:

x2(t) = b ⋅ | cos (at) |

A non periodic signal is called “aperiodic”.

Example 2.7:

A discrete signal with fundamental period No = 3.

Similarly, a discrete signal x[n] is periodic if ∃ N such that

x[n] = x[n + N] , ∀ n eq. (2.13)

N is called period of x[n].

The fundamental period of x[n], No, is the least value of N for which eq. (2.13) is valid.

2.8 – Odd and Even Signals

A continuous signal x(t) is even if: x(–t) = x(t)

A discrete signal x[n] is even if: x[–n] = x[n]

A continuous signal x(t) is odd if: x(–t) = –x(t)

A discrete signal x[n] is odd if: x[–n] = –x[n]

x(t) = sin (t) is an odd signal; and

x(t) = cos (t) is an even signal.

x1(t) = A cos(ω1t + φ), and

x2(t) = A cos(ω2t + φ),

with ω2 < ωo < ω1 (which is equivalent to T1 < To < T2), then x1(t) oscillates more

Therefore, the low oscillations (or slow variations) of the signal x[n] have values

ωo close to 0, 2π, etc. (even multiples of π), while the high oscillations (or quick

variations) of the signal x[n] are located close to ±π and odd multiples of π.

These two signals,

frequencies of π by a rational number.

x3[n] = A cos (ωon), for ωo = 1. eq. (2.20) This signal,

x3[n] from eq. (2.20) is not periodic since its frequency it is

not multiple of π by a rational number.

Note that in x1[n] an in x2[n] that the points have again the same value of x[n]periodically.

However, with the signal x3[n] this does not happen because ωo = 1 is not multiple of

π by a rational number and therefore it is not a periodic signal.

Observe that x2[n] and x3[n] are very close signals since

x2[n] = A cos (3πn) = A cos (0.9425n) and x3[n] = A cos (1⋅n).

However, for the signal x3[n] the points never have the same value again, since it is not periodic.

x3[n] = A cos (ωon), for ωo = 1.

That is, x3[n] oscillates infinitely, but the sequences of values never repeat themselves.

For example,

x3[0] = 1, since cos(0) = 1,

however this value 1 never happens again for any other

x3[n], ∀n ≠ 0.

Therefore, this signal x3[n], it is not periodic since its

frequency is not multiple of π by a rational number.
