DSP - Operations on Signals Reversal
Whenever the time in a signal gets multiplied by -1, the signal gets reversed. It produces its mirror image about Y or X-axis. This is known as Reversal of the signal.
Reversal can be classified into two types based on the condition whether the time or the amplitude of the signal is multiplied by -1.
Time Reversal
Whenever signal’s time is multiplied by -1, it is known as time reversal of the signal. In this case, the signal produces its mirror image about Y-axis. Mathematically, this can be written as;
$$x(t) \rightarrow y(t) \rightarrow x(-t)$$This can be best understood by the following example.
In the above example, we can clearly see that the signal has been reversed about its Y-axis. So, it is one kind of time scaling also, but here the scaling quantity is (-1) always.
Amplitude Reversal
Whenever the amplitude of a signal is multiplied by -1, then it is known as amplitude reversal. In this case, the signal produces its mirror image about X-axis. Mathematically, this can be written as;
$$x(t)\rightarrow y(t)\rightarrow -x(t)$$Consider the following example. Amplitude reversal can be seen clearly.
