Realization of Continuous-Time SystemRealisation of a continuous-time LTI system means obtaining a network corresponding to the differential equation or transfer function of the system.The transfer function of the system can be realised either by using integrators or differentiators. Due to certain drawbacks, the differentiators are not used to realise the ... Read More

SamplingThe process of converting a continuous-time signal into a discrete-time signal is called the sampling.After sampling, the signal is defined at discrete-instants of time and the time interval between two successive sampling instants is called the sampling period.Sampling TechniquesThe sampling of a signal is done in several ways. Generally, there ... Read More

Z-TransformThe Z-transform is a mathematical tool which is used to convert the difference equations in discrete time domain into the algebraic equations in z-domain.Mathematically, $\mathrm{\mathit{x\left ( n \right )}}$ if is a discrete time function, then its Z-transform is defined as, $$\mathrm{\mathit{Z\left [ x\left ( n \right ) \right ]\mathrm{\, ...

Stability and CausalityThe necessary and sufficient condition for a causal linear time invariant (LTI) discrete-time system to be BIBO stable is given by, $$\mathrm{\mathit{\sum_{n=\mathrm{0}}^{\infty }\left|h\left ( n \right ) \right|< \infty }}$$Therefore, if the impulse response of an LTI discrete-time system is absolutely summable, then the system is BIBO stable.Also, ...

The sequences having a finite number of samples are called the finite duration sequences. The finite duration sequences may be of following three types viz. −Right-Hand SequencesLeft-Hand SequencesTwo-Sided SequencesRight-Hand SequenceA sequence for which $\mathrm{\mathit{x\left ( n \right )}}$ = 0 for $\mathit{n}$ < $\mathit{n_{\mathrm{0}}}$ where $\mathit{n_{\mathrm{0}}}$ may be positive or ...
