Signal Energy and Power

From the range of examples provided so far, we see that signals may represent a broad variety of phenomena, In many, but not all, applications, the signals we consider are directly related to physical quantities capturing power and energy in a physical system.



TRANSFORMATIONS OF THE INDEPENDENT VARIABLE

A central concept in signal and system analysis is that of the transformation of a signal. For example, in an aircraft control system, signals corresponding to the actions of the pilot are transformed by electrical and mechanical systems into changes in aircraft thrust or the positions of aircraft control surfaces such as the rudder or ailerons, which in turn are transformed through the dynamics and kinematics of the vehicle into changes in aircraft velocity and heading. Also, in a high-fidelity audio system, an input signal representing music as recorded on a cassette or compact disc is modified in order to enhance desirable characteristics, to remove recording noise, or to balance the several components of the signal (e.g., treble and bass), In this section, we focus on a very limited but important class of elementary signal transformations that involve simple modification of the independent variable, i.e., the time axis. As we will lee in this and subsequent sections of this chapter, these elementary transformations allow us to introduce several basic properties of signals and systems.
