 EVEN & ODD SIGNAL
REPRESENTATION
 A signal is even if Xe(t) = Xe(-t).
e.g. cos (wt) = cos(-wt)

 A signal is odd if Xo(t) = -Xo(-t).

e.g. sin(wt) = -sin(-wt)

 Any signal can be expressed as the sum of even & odd part.
i.e. X(t)= Xe(t) + Xo(t) … eq(1)

 If t is replaced by –t in eq(1), we get X(-t) = Xe(t) – Xo(t) & thus

X(-t)=Xe(t) – Xo(t) … eq(2)

 Manipulating eq(1) & eq(2), we get

 Xe(t) = ½ [X(t) + X(-t)]
 Xo(t) = ½ [X(t) – X(-t)]

 LAB TASKS
1. Compute the even and odd components of the signal if

square is a built in function which generates square wave. (n=-5:5)

2. Create a sinusoidal signal 𝑥(𝑛) = sin(2 ∗ 𝑝𝑖 ∗ 0.01 ∗ 𝑛). Create a function which
returns the plots for even and odd part of this signal. Call this function in script file
and get the desired plots.
3. Plot the given signal and compute the even and odd parts for this signal.

Plot your results.

4. Check whether the following signals are even or odd:

a. 𝑥(𝑡) = t2
b. 𝑥(𝑡) = t3
Plot these signals and state your answers with proper reasoning.
