Outline

• Transformation of Continuous-Time Signal– Time Reversal– Time Scaling– Time Shifting– Amplitude Transformation

• Signal Characteristics

Time reversal:

Time Reversal

Time scaling

TimeScaling

X(t) Y=X(at)

Time scaling

• Given y(t), – find w(t) = y(3t) – v(t) = y(t/3).

Circuit Example

• LC Tank Oscillator

Time Shifting

• The original signal x(t) is shifted by an amount to .Time Shift: y(t)=x(t-to)

• X(t)→X(t-to) // to>0 → Signal Delayed → Shift to the right

• X(t) → X(t+to) // to<0 → Signal Advanced → Shift to the left

TimeShifting

X(t) Y=X(t-to)

Connection to Circuits

Note: Unit Step Function

Unit Step function(a discontinuous continuous-time signal):

Mathematica Example (1)

Mathematica Example (2)

Draw

• x(t) = u(t+1)- u(t-2)

u(t+1)- u(t-2)

t=0

Mathematica Example (2)

Time Shifting Example

• Given x(t) = u(t+2) -u(t-2), – find

• x(t-t0)=• x(t+t0)=Answer:• x(t-t0)= u(t-to+2) -u(t-to-2), • x(t+t0)= u(t+to+2) -u(t+to-

2),

Problem

• Determine x(t) + x(2-t) , where x(t) = u(t+1)- u(t-2

• Method 1:– Observation: Rewrite x(2-t) as x(-(t-2))– Find x(-t) first, then shift t by t-2.

• Method 2: – Observation: X(2-t) implies time reversal.– So find x(2+t), then apply time reversal

Method 1

Find x(-t) first, then shift t by t-2.

Method 2

find x(2+t), then apply time reversal

X(2-t)+x(t)

X(2-t)

X(t)

X(2-t)+x(t)

Combination of Scaling and Shifting

Method 1: Shift then scale

Signal Characteristics

• Even Function

Xe(-t) = Xe(t)

Signal Characteristics

• Odd Function

Xo(t) =- Xo(-t)

Signal Characteristics

Xe + Ye = ZeXo + Yo = ZoXe + Yo = Ze + Zo

Xe * Ye = ZeXo * Yo = ZeXe * Yo = Zo

Any signal can be represented in terms of a odd function and an even function.

x(t)=xo(t)+xe(t)

Represent xe(t) in terms of x(t)

• Xe(t)

– X(t)=Xe(t)+Xo(t)

– Xe(t)=X(t)+Xo(t)• Xo(t)=-Xo(-t)

• X(-t)=Xe(-t)+Xo(-t)

– Xe(t)=X(t)-Xo(-t)=X(t)+X(-t)-Xe(-t)

• Therefore Xe(t)=[X(t)+X(-t)]/2• Similarly Xo(t)=[X(t)-X(-t)]/2

Proof Examples• Prove that product of two

even signals is even.

• Prove that product of two odd signals is even.

• What is the product of an even signal and an odd signal? Prove it!
