6. 1-6 Signals as Functions Function of an independent variable Temperature vs. time Closing value of a stock market vs. day Continuous-time signals x(t) where t can take any real value x(t) may be 0 for a given range of values of t Discrete-time signals x[n] where n  {...-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3...} Sometimes use “sample index” instead of “time” for n Values for x may be real or complex

7. 1-7 1 Analog vs. Digital Amplitude At each time value, analog signal amplitude takes real or complex value (a.k.a. continuous-valued) Digital signal amplitude takes values from a discrete set (a.k.a. discrete-valued) Analog continuous- time signal Digital continuous- time signal

8. 1-8 Deterministic vs. Random Signals Deterministic signal amplitudes Can be mathematically described, e.g. x(t) = cos(2  f 0 t) Random signal amplitudes Cannot be predicted exactly Cannot be described by a mathematical function Distribution of amplitude values can be defined Consider flipping fair coin (uniform distribution) Let 1 be heads and -1 be tails flip 1 Matlab/Mathscript Code flipnumber = 1:10; y = sign(randn(10,1)); stem(flipnumber, y);
