System Interconnections and Discrete-Time Signals
signals that operate in discrete time and are based on integers (sequences).
Computer programs may manipulate discrete-time signals, in contrast to
continuous analog signals. Important ideas covered include:
• Discrete-Time Signal Representation: Often shown as stem plots, it is written
as s(n).
The formula for discrete-time complex exponentials is s(n)=ej2πfn, where f is a
periodic frequency.
• The frequency of discrete-time sinusoids, whose formula is
s(n)=Acos(2πfn+ϕ), likewise exhibits periodic characteristics.
The unit sample is δ(n), which is 0 otherwise and 1 when n=0. It is possible to
decompose any discrete-time signal into a sum of scaled and delayed unit
samples.
• Symbolically significant Signals: Signals with values that are alphabetic
symbols rather than actual numbers (e.g., keyboard characters). The discussion
of discrete-time systems and the processing of these signals also starts in this
subsection.
Overview of Systems
A system is defined as something that manipulates signals, accepting input
signals and producing output signals in this section (which is actually a sub-
section of 2.3). Systems are shown physically as block diagrams and
mathematically as y(t)=S(x(t)). We present three fundamental types of system
interconnection:
• Cascade Interconnection: One system's output turns into another's input.
• Parallel Interconnection: Several systems receive the same input signal at the
same time, and the sum of their outputs is calculated.
• Feedback Interconnection: Often utilized in control systems, this feature
allows a system's output to influence its own input.

continuous analog signals. Important ideas covered include:
• Discrete-Time Signal Representation: Often shown as stem plots, it is written
as s(n).
The formula for discrete-time complex exponentials is s(n)=ej2πfn, where f is a
periodic frequency.
• The frequency of discrete-time sinusoids, whose formula is
s(n)=Acos(2πfn+ϕ), likewise exhibits periodic characteristics.
The unit sample is δ(n), which is 0 otherwise and 1 when n=0. It is possible to
decompose any discrete-time signal into a sum of scaled and delayed unit
samples.
• Symbolically significant Signals: Signals with values that are alphabetic
symbols rather than actual numbers (e.g., keyboard characters). The discussion
of discrete-time systems and the processing of these signals also starts in this

Overview of Systems
A system is defined as something that manipulates signals, accepting input
signals and producing output signals in this section (which is actually a sub-
section of 2.3). Systems are shown physically as block diagrams and
mathematically as y(t)=S(x(t)). We present three fundamental types of system
interconnection:
• Cascade Interconnection: One system's output turns into another's input.
• Parallel Interconnection: Several systems receive the same input signal at the
same time, and the sum of their outputs is calculated.
• Feedback Interconnection: Often utilized in control systems, this feature
allows a system's output to influence its own input.

• Discrete-Time Signal Representation: Often shown as stem plots, it is written
as s(n).
The formula for discrete-time complex exponentials is s(n)=ej2πfn, where f is a
periodic frequency.
• The frequency of discrete-time sinusoids, whose formula is
s(n)=Acos(2πfn+ϕ), likewise exhibits periodic characteristics.
The unit sample is δ(n), which is 0 otherwise and 1 when n=0. It is possible to
decompose any discrete-time signal into a sum of scaled and delayed unit
samples.
• Symbolically significant Signals: Signals with values that are alphabetic
symbols rather than actual numbers (e.g., keyboard characters). The discussion
of discrete-time systems and the processing of these signals also starts in this

Overview of Systems
A system is defined as something that manipulates signals, accepting input
signals and producing output signals in this section (which is actually a sub-
section of 2.3). Systems are shown physically as block diagrams and
mathematically as y(t)=S(x(t)). We present three fundamental types of system
interconnection:
• Cascade Interconnection: One system's output turns into another's input.
• Parallel Interconnection: Several systems receive the same input signal at the
same time, and the sum of their outputs is calculated.
• Feedback Interconnection: Often utilized in control systems, this feature
allows a system's output to influence its own input.

• Discrete-Time Signal Representation: Often shown as stem plots, it is written
as s(n).
The formula for discrete-time complex exponentials is s(n)=ej2πfn, where f is a
periodic frequency.
• The frequency of discrete-time sinusoids, whose formula is
s(n)=Acos(2πfn+ϕ), likewise exhibits periodic characteristics.
The unit sample is δ(n), which is 0 otherwise and 1 when n=0. It is possible to
decompose any discrete-time signal into a sum of scaled and delayed unit
samples.
• Symbolically significant Signals: Signals with values that are alphabetic
symbols rather than actual numbers (e.g., keyboard characters). The discussion
of discrete-time systems and the processing of these signals also starts in this

Overview of Systems
A system is defined as something that manipulates signals, accepting input
signals and producing output signals in this section (which is actually a sub-
section of 2.3). Systems are shown physically as block diagrams and
mathematically as y(t)=S(x(t)). We present three fundamental types of system
interconnection:
• Cascade Interconnection: One system's output turns into another's input.
• Parallel Interconnection: Several systems receive the same input signal at the
same time, and the sum of their outputs is calculated.
• Feedback Interconnection: Often utilized in control systems, this feature
allows a system's output to influence its own input.

• Discrete-Time Signal Representation: Often shown as stem plots, it is written
as s(n).
The formula for discrete-time complex exponentials is s(n)=ej2πfn, where f is a
periodic frequency.
• The frequency of discrete-time sinusoids, whose formula is
s(n)=Acos(2πfn+ϕ), likewise exhibits periodic characteristics.
The unit sample is δ(n), which is 0 otherwise and 1 when n=0. It is possible to
decompose any discrete-time signal into a sum of scaled and delayed unit
samples.
• Symbolically significant Signals: Signals with values that are alphabetic
symbols rather than actual numbers (e.g., keyboard characters). The discussion
of discrete-time systems and the processing of these signals also starts in this

Overview of Systems
A system is defined as something that manipulates signals, accepting input
signals and producing output signals in this section (which is actually a sub-
section of 2.3). Systems are shown physically as block diagrams and
mathematically as y(t)=S(x(t)). We present three fundamental types of system
interconnection:
• Cascade Interconnection: One system's output turns into another's input.
• Parallel Interconnection: Several systems receive the same input signal at the
same time, and the sum of their outputs is calculated.
• Feedback Interconnection: Often utilized in control systems, this feature
allows a system's output to influence its own input.

• Discrete-Time Signal Representation: Often shown as stem plots, it is written
as s(n).
The formula for discrete-time complex exponentials is s(n)=ej2πfn, where f is a
periodic frequency.
• The frequency of discrete-time sinusoids, whose formula is
s(n)=Acos(2πfn+ϕ), likewise exhibits periodic characteristics.
The unit sample is δ(n), which is 0 otherwise and 1 when n=0. It is possible to
decompose any discrete-time signal into a sum of scaled and delayed unit
samples.
• Symbolically significant Signals: Signals with values that are alphabetic
symbols rather than actual numbers (e.g., keyboard characters). The discussion
of discrete-time systems and the processing of these signals also starts in this

Overview of Systems
A system is defined as something that manipulates signals, accepting input
signals and producing output signals in this section (which is actually a sub-
section of 2.3). Systems are shown physically as block diagrams and
mathematically as y(t)=S(x(t)). We present three fundamental types of system
interconnection:
• Cascade Interconnection: One system's output turns into another's input.
• Parallel Interconnection: Several systems receive the same input signal at the
same time, and the sum of their outputs is calculated.
• Feedback Interconnection: Often utilized in control systems, this feature
allows a system's output to influence its own input.

• Discrete-Time Signal Representation: Often shown as stem plots, it is written
as s(n).
The formula for discrete-time complex exponentials is s(n)=ej2πfn, where f is a
periodic frequency.
• The frequency of discrete-time sinusoids, whose formula is
s(n)=Acos(2πfn+ϕ), likewise exhibits periodic characteristics.
The unit sample is δ(n), which is 0 otherwise and 1 when n=0. It is possible to
decompose any discrete-time signal into a sum of scaled and delayed unit
samples.
• Symbolically significant Signals: Signals with values that are alphabetic
symbols rather than actual numbers (e.g., keyboard characters). The discussion
of discrete-time systems and the processing of these signals also starts in this

Overview of Systems
A system is defined as something that manipulates signals, accepting input
signals and producing output signals in this section (which is actually a sub-
section of 2.3). Systems are shown physically as block diagrams and
mathematically as y(t)=S(x(t)). We present three fundamental types of system
interconnection:
• Cascade Interconnection: One system's output turns into another's input.
• Parallel Interconnection: Several systems receive the same input signal at the
same time, and the sum of their outputs is calculated.
• Feedback Interconnection: Often utilized in control systems, this feature
allows a system's output to influence its own input.

• Discrete-Time Signal Representation: Often shown as stem plots, it is written
as s(n).
The formula for discrete-time complex exponentials is s(n)=ej2πfn, where f is a
periodic frequency.
• The frequency of discrete-time sinusoids, whose formula is
s(n)=Acos(2πfn+ϕ), likewise exhibits periodic characteristics.
The unit sample is δ(n), which is 0 otherwise and 1 when n=0. It is possible to
decompose any discrete-time signal into a sum of scaled and delayed unit
samples.
• Symbolically significant Signals: Signals with values that are alphabetic
symbols rather than actual numbers (e.g., keyboard characters). The discussion
of discrete-time systems and the processing of these signals also starts in this

Overview of Systems
A system is defined as something that manipulates signals, accepting input
signals and producing output signals in this section (which is actually a sub-
section of 2.3). Systems are shown physically as block diagrams and
mathematically as y(t)=S(x(t)). We present three fundamental types of system
interconnection:
• Cascade Interconnection: One system's output turns into another's input.
• Parallel Interconnection: Several systems receive the same input signal at the
same time, and the sum of their outputs is calculated.
• Feedback Interconnection: Often utilized in control systems, this feature
allows a system's output to influence its own input.

• Discrete-Time Signal Representation: Often shown as stem plots, it is written
as s(n).
The formula for discrete-time complex exponentials is s(n)=ej2πfn, where f is a
periodic frequency.
• The frequency of discrete-time sinusoids, whose formula is
s(n)=Acos(2πfn+ϕ), likewise exhibits periodic characteristics.
The unit sample is δ(n), which is 0 otherwise and 1 when n=0. It is possible to
decompose any discrete-time signal into a sum of scaled and delayed unit
samples.
• Symbolically significant Signals: Signals with values that are alphabetic
symbols rather than actual numbers (e.g., keyboard characters). The discussion
of discrete-time systems and the processing of these signals also starts in this

Overview of Systems
A system is defined as something that manipulates signals, accepting input
signals and producing output signals in this section (which is actually a sub-
section of 2.3). Systems are shown physically as block diagrams and
mathematically as y(t)=S(x(t)). We present three fundamental types of system
interconnection:
• Cascade Interconnection: One system's output turns into another's input.
• Parallel Interconnection: Several systems receive the same input signal at the
same time, and the sum of their outputs is calculated.
• Feedback Interconnection: Often utilized in control systems, this feature
allows a system's output to influence its own input.

• Discrete-Time Signal Representation: Often shown as stem plots, it is written
as s(n).
The formula for discrete-time complex exponentials is s(n)=ej2πfn, where f is a
periodic frequency.
• The frequency of discrete-time sinusoids, whose formula is
s(n)=Acos(2πfn+ϕ), likewise exhibits periodic characteristics.
The unit sample is δ(n), which is 0 otherwise and 1 when n=0. It is possible to
decompose any discrete-time signal into a sum of scaled and delayed unit
samples.
• Symbolically significant Signals: Signals with values that are alphabetic
symbols rather than actual numbers (e.g., keyboard characters). The discussion
of discrete-time systems and the processing of these signals also starts in this
subsection.
Overview of Systems
A system is defined as something that manipulates signals, accepting input
signals and producing output signals in this section (which is actually a sub-
section of 2.3). Systems are shown physically as block diagrams and
mathematically as y(t)=S(x(t)). We present three fundamental types of system
interconnection:
• Cascade Interconnection: One system's output turns into another's input.
• Parallel Interconnection: Several systems receive the same input signal at the
same time, and the sum of their outputs is calculated.
• Feedback Interconnection: Often utilized in control systems, this feature
allows a system's output to influence its own input.
