CLASSIFICATION OF

DISCRETE TIME SYSTEMS

 Discrete-time systems
• “A set of connected parts or models which takes discrete-time signals
as input, known as excitation, processes it under certain set of rules
and algorithms to have a desired output of another discrete-time
signal, known as response”.
• In general, if a there is excitation x(n) and the response of the system
is y(n), the we express the system as,
• y(n) = T [x(n)]
• The input signal x[n] is transformed by the system into a signal y[n]
 Two general aspects to categorize:
time properties and amplitude properties
• Time properties (causality, memory, time invariance)
• “Amplitude”properties (stability, invertibility, linearity)
