 Introduction
   Continuous-Time Signal
             X(t)
 is defined for all time t contained in some interval on
 the real line.
   Discrete-Time Signal
               X[n]
a sequence of values that correspond to particular
instants in time.
Examples of Continuous &
Discrete-Time Signals
Most of the signals are analog in nature:
• Voice
• Video
• Transducer/Sensor output
Examples of Discrete-Time Signals:
• Average budget
• Crime rate
• Total population

Analog to Digital Conversion
 A/D conversion can be viewed as a three-step process
                                                        7
Analog to Digital Conversion
• Sampling: Convert the continuous time & value signal to discrete-time &
  continuous value signal.
 Quantization: Convert the discrete-time & continuous value signal to
 discrete-time & value signal
 Coding: Convert the discrete-time & value signal to a digital data format
                                                                             8

                          9
Nyquist–Shannon Sampling Theorem
• If an analog signal is sampled at a rate that exceeds the
  signal’s highest frequency by at least a factor of two,
  the original analog signal can be perfectly recovered
  from the discrete values produced by sampling.

The sampling rate
• The sampling rate
• If a signal is sampled at T = 1mS,
the sampling rate will be fs = 1/1m = 1KHZ
(i.e., 1000 samples per second)
                                             11
Example
  What is the sampling rate for a voice signal that has
  frequencies up to 3KHZ?
   Fs = 2 * 3000 = 6000samples/sec (HZ)
  What is the sampling rate for a sound that has
  frequencies up to 30KHZ?
   Fs = 2 * 30000 = 60000samples/sec (HZ)
                                                          12
Test your understanding
Determine the Nyquist sampling rate of the signal.
1. X(t) = 3 Sin (5000π + 17)
2. S(t) = 3Cos (50πt) + 10 Sin (300πt) – Cos (100πt)
