What is signal addition?
Signal addition—two signals x(t) and y(t) are added to obtain their sum z(t). An adder is used. ▪ Constant multiplication—a signal x(t) is multiplied by a constant α. A constant multiplier is used.
How do you represent the signal?
Signals can also be represented by a magnitude and phase as a function of frequency. Signals that repeat periodically in time are represented by a power spectrum as illustrated in Figure 2.
How do you scale a signal?
A signal x(t) is scaled in time by multiplying the time variable by a positive constant b, to produce x(bt). A positive factor of b either expands (0 < b < 1) or compresses (b > 1) the signal in time.
