fundamentals of the signals and system

What is a Signal?

Anything which carries information is a signal. e.g. human voice, chirping of birds, smoke signals,

gestures (sign language), fragrances of the ﬂowers. Many of our body functions are regulated by

chemical signals, blind people use sense of touch. Bees communicate by their dancing pattern.

Modern high speed signals are: voltage changer in a telephone wire, the electromagnetic ﬁeld emanating

from a transmitting antenna,variation of light intensity in an optical ﬁber. Thus we see that there is an

almost endless variety of signals and a large number of ways in which signals are carried from

on place to another place.

2. Signals: The Mathematical Way

A signal is a real (or complex) valued function of one or more real variable(s).When the function

depends on a single variable, the signal is said to be one-dimensional and when the function depends

on two or more variables, the signal is said to be multidimensional.

Examples of a one dimensional signal: A speech signal, daily maximum temperature, annual

rainfall at a place
An example of a two dimensional signal: An image is a two dimensional signal, vertical and horizontal coordinates representing the two dimensions.
Four Dimensions: Our physical world is four dimensional(three spatial and one temporal).

Tutorial on EasyEDA desktop software for PCB and schematic design

In this article, I am going to write a tutorial on how to use EasyEDA desktop application for creating a schematic and for PCB design. One of best advantage of this software is that you can create design offline and can automatically synchronize your design with your online EasyEDA account. It can be used for circuits simulation, PCB deign and electronics circuits design. You can download EasyEDA desktop application by clicking on following link and it will work on windows 7 or its greater version. They are also releasing soon offline application OSX and Linux users. So keep visiting their website for more information. https://easyeda.com/page/download So let’s start and see how to design a schematic and PCB using EasyEDA offline desktop application. So first of all lets see how to create a schema...

Engineer II - Analog Design Engineering at Microchip

Hello Dear Readers, Currently at Microchip vacancy for Engineer II - Analog Design Engineering role. Job Description: The Mixed Signal Development Group is responsible for delivering analog, digital and mixed-signal IP to divisions within Microchip. We work with leading edge CMOS processes to produce analog integrated circuits for wireline applications. From 112Gb/s+ SERDES to high-speed FEC engines, we enable technology that allows Microchip’s products to interface to the outside world. Job Descriptions: As a member of the Mixed-Signal Development Group, the candidate will be supervised by a team leader/manager, and be engaged in the design of SERDES/DSP blocks, and other high-speed Digital Signal Processing blocks. This will involve taking a design from initial concept to production form. Throughout you will be mentored and coached by experienced engineers and be exposed to Microchip's Best-In-Class engineering practices. Job Responsibilities: Ramping up o...
