Find the even and odd decomposition of a discrete-time signal below:
How to determine whether a given signal is an even signal, odd signal or
neither even nor odd signal???
For an example, if the signal is named as x(t)
STEP 1:
a) Check whether 𝑥 −𝑡 = 𝑥 𝑡 .
b) If 𝑥 −𝑡 = 𝑥 𝑡 , then the signal x(t) is an even signal. (STOP HERE)
c) If 𝑥 −𝑡 ≠ 𝑥 𝑡 , 𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛 𝑡𝑡 𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝 𝑡𝑡 𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆 2.
STEP 2:
a) Check whether 𝑥 −𝑡 = −𝑥 𝑡 .
b) If 𝑥 −𝑡 = 𝑥 𝑡 , 𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 𝑡𝑡𝑡 𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠 𝑥 𝑡 is an odd signal. (STOP HERE)
c) If 𝑥 −𝑡 = 𝑥 𝑡 , then need to proceed to Step 3.
STEP 3:
a) The signal x(t) is neither even nor odd signal.
Note: You need to perform time reversal to the signals if it is given graphically.
Classification of Signals
Definition 13 [Real Signal]:
A signal x(t) or x[n] is said to be a real signal if
𝑥 𝑡 𝑜𝑜 𝑥[n] is real valued for all values of t or n.
Example:
𝑥 𝑡 = 𝑒𝑡.
Note:
This property of signals based on the strength will be discussed in detail later.

Definition 17 [Finite-Duration and Infinite-Duration Signal]:
x(t) or x[n] is a finite duration signal if
𝑥 n = 0 for −∞ < 𝑛1 ≤ 𝑛 and 𝑛 ≤ 𝑛° < ∞ or
𝑥(t) = 0 for −∞ < 𝑡1 ≤ 𝑡 and 𝑡 ≤ 𝑡° < ∞.
Hence, a finite-duration signals has a starting and en ending time.
If x[n] or x(t) is not finite-duration, it is an infinite-duration signal.
An infinite-duration signal may be
• Right-sided
• Left-sided, or
• Two-sided.
2. Definition 19 [Left-sided]:
x(t) or x[n] is left-sided if it has a finite ending time, but starts at −∞; 𝑖. 𝑒.,
𝒙 𝐧 = 𝟎 for 𝑛 ≤ 𝑛1< ∞ or 𝒙(𝐭) = 𝟎 for 𝑡 ≤ 𝑡1< ∞.
Classification of Signals
3. Definition 20 [Two-sided]:
x(t) or x[n] is two-sided if it has no finite starting or ending time. The signal
is nonzero over all real number; 𝑖. 𝑒.,
It starts at −∞ and ends at +∞
