Linear and Time Invariant Systems
From LNTwww
Brief summary
Based on the book »Signal Representation«, here it is described how to mathematically capture the influence of a filter on deterministic signals.
- System theory analyses a quadripole $($»system«$)$ using »cause« ⇒ $[$input $ X(f)\ \bullet\!\!-\!\!\!-\!\!\!-\!\!\circ\,\ x(t)]$ and »effect« ⇒ $[$output $ Y(f)\ \bullet\!\!-\!\!\!-\!\!\!-\!\!\circ\,\, y( t )]$.
- Indicator in frequency domain is the »frequency response« $ H(f)=Y(f)/X(f)$, in time domain the »impulse response» $ h(t)$, where $ y(t)=x(t)\star h(t)$.
- System distortions ⇒ $ y(t)\ne K \cdot x(t - \tau)$; distortion-free system: output and input differ only by attenuation/gain and/or delay time.
- Linear distortions $($possibly reversible$)$ ⇒ $ Y(f)=X(f)\cdot H(f)$; non-linear distortions ⇒ emergence of new frequencies $($irreversible distortions$)$.
- Peculiarities of causal systems ⇒ $ h(t<0)\equiv 0$; Hilbert transform, Laplace transform; inverse Laplace transform ⇒ residue theorem.
- Some results of line transmission theory; coaxial cable systems ⇒ "white noise"; copper twisted pairs ⇒ dominant is "near-end crosstalk".
The filter influence on a random signal is only dealt with in the last chapter of the book »Theory of Stochastic Signals«.
⇒ First the »content overview« on the basis of the »four main chapters« with a total of »twelve individual chapters« and »93 sections«.
