We often deal with "simple" signals in a signals-and-systems course that can be easily described as a linear combination of time-shifted unit step and unit ramp functions.
In this video example we're provided a sketch of a "simple" signal x(t) and we develop an equation for x(t) in terms of time-shifted unit step and unit ramp functions.

Thank you so much, Sir.❤❤❤ Clear and easy explanation.
at t=3, we can write u(t-3), plz help me out to write it in terms of a ramp function.
Do you have a video on how to plot this equation in matlab? Thanks in advance.
Nice Explanation, Very helpful.
How to construct this signal sir x(t)=tu(t)-2(t-2)u(t-2)+2(t-4)u(t-4) i have confusion in it.
What is the equation for the output signal, x(t), when the input is a unit ramp?

At t (0) x has values 0 and 1. And at t(5) x values are 2 and 0. So which of the twe values are to be considered - the 0 or 1,2 ?
@AdamPanagos

Great question. The unit step function u(t) as defined here is equal to 1 at time t = 0. So, when the unit step function "turns on" it is equal to one when it's argument is zero. So, consider what happens at time t=5 for example. The term we're adding in there is -2u(t-5). This means, when t = 5, we have -2u(0) = -2, so the OVERALL signal is equal to zero at time t =5. Similarly, x(0) = 1 and x(4) = 2. As you noted though, the way I drew the original sketch was a little ambiguous. It might have been better if I'd use open circles and closed circles in the original sketch to indicate which value x(t) was taking on. Nice work! Adam

Hi! great video! May I ask, why is the checking for x(5) = 0 is correct? when x(5) magnitude is 2 according to the figure? I think in -2u(0) it should be equal to (-2*0), please kindly check if this is correct! Thank you!

The funtion in the plot is equal to zero at t = 5. It's equal to 2 when t is slightly less than 5 (i.e. t = 5-epsilon). I maybe should have put closed circles (or open circles) at the jumps to indicate the value. The unit step is always on a time zero so u(0) = 1, thus -2u(0) = -2*1 = -2. Hope that helps.
hey i am just wondering if you could answer my question regarding a signal that looks like this: →2 /| / | →1 | | _____| | ← 2→-3- get the energy of this signal in one period. the pulse width of the combined triangle over a square wave is 3 (amp of square is 1 while amp of triangle is also 1). this is a periodic wave. note : what i have drawn is one period of the signal already. hope you could answer me cause i am really confused.
Might be a stupid question, but what is the unit of the signal x(t)? I am having trouble understanding the unit of a digital signal and other types of signals. I do know that sometimes the square of x(t) is power
@AdamPanagos

Not a stupid question at all. For the most part, in classes/examples like this the signals are unitless (i.e. they don't have any units). In some more practical application you might be working with specific signals that have units, but for the most part you can work this type of example using a unitless signal and still convey/learn the relevant information. Hope that helps, Adam

Once all the writing is down you can "play" the handwriting back while recording audio over it. I find this works much better than trying to write and talk at the same time. I'd definitely recommend checking out the app, I've found it very useful. Hope that helps!

Informative.. thanks :).. one doubt, in your check, at t=2, then how U(2) = 1, when there is no unit step function @ t=2. Please explain..
@AdamPanagos
6 жыл бұрын
We're evaluating x(t) at t = 2. That means we need to replace all t's with the value 2. So, u(t) becomes u(2). The unit step u(t) is defined as one any time the argument of u(t) is greater than or equal to zero, and zero otherwise. So, u(2) = 1 since the argument of u(t) (in this case 2) is positive. Hope that helps, Adam

OK. So it means that in u(argument) whenever argument > 0 we take u(t) = 1 and if argument

Yes, that's right. To be perfectly precise, u(t) = 1 when t>=0 and u(t) = 0 when t < 0. Note my inequalities include t=0 when u(t) = 1. But in general, I think you have the idea.
This is my first time seeing the ramp function. How is it defined? Where is a video where you introduce it?
@AdamPanagos
Жыл бұрын
The ramp function is defined in every linear systems textbook. r(t) = t*u(t) where u(t) is the unit step function. The unit ramp function r(t) is equal to t for all positive t.
I don't understand how adding -2r(t - 2) to u(t)+r(t-1) causes the graph to instantly have an opposite slope and still have a positive of x(t).
@eddie2378
8 жыл бұрын
You can think of it as a vector quantity. The slope is suddenly increased by 2 units (from 1 to -1) at t = 2. (In other words, at t = 2, the signal rotates clockwise by pi over 2). The slope only dictates the direction. The total vertical drop of the unit ramp function from t = 2 to t = 3 is only 1 which is obviously not long enough to cross the horizontal axis.
@SonPham-jy2qi
7 жыл бұрын
It was confusing but then I realize that -2r(t-2) is -r(t-2) - r(t-2). The graph of r(t-1) will cancel out the graph of -r(t-2) at t>=2, leaving v(t) = 2. Then, we add -r(t-2) again to make downward slope of -1 at t=2. You can read the comment of Mr. Panagos above to understand next step or watch example #2 first.

r(t-3) is unit step function as it goes straight line ri8
@AdamPanagos
4 жыл бұрын
No, r(t) is the unit ramp function. r(t-3) is the unit ramp function that turns on at time t = 3. r(t) has a slope of 1, so does r(t-3) (when on). When r(t-3) turns on at time t = 3, it cancels out previous slope of -1 to yield a slope of -1+1 = 0. The function r(t) is never a unit step function.
Don't we need an impulse on 4? Since the value is instantly jumping on 2 amplitude?
@AdamPanagos

That's exactly what happens by adding in the u(t-4). This unit step is located at t = 4 and causes the signal to "jump up" a value of 1 at time t = 4. I hope that helps. Make sure to check out my website adampanagos.org for lots of additional content that you might find helpful. Thanks.

It is. So, when it turns "on" at time t=3, it cancels out the negative slope before it. From time t = 2 to t=3, the signal is going down at a slope of -1. Once we add in the signal r(t-3), it adds a slope of 1 at that point, so we end up with a constant value starting at t = 3. -1 + 1 = 0. So, no slope, just holding the value. Hope that helps, Adam
sir why we dont use u(t-3) instead of r(t-3) ?

Because at t = 3, we need the SLOPE to change by 1. u(t-3) just shifts things by 1. r(t-3) starts a ramp with a slope that we need.

During the time interval t = 2 to t = 3 the signal x(t) is decreasing with a slope of -1 (i.e. it is going down 1 units for every one unit it moves over). At time t = 3, x(t) stops decreasing and holds the constant value of 1 for the time interval t = 3 to t = 4. A constant value has a slope of zero. Since we were previously decreasing with a slope of -1, and we need to stop decreasing, we need to increase the slope by +1 at time t = 3. -1+1 = 0, resulting in a constant value being held. This is why we add in the signal r(t-3). This unit ramp signal has a slope of +1 and turns "on" at time t = 3. Hope that helps, Adam

The video is correct, it should be +r(t-3). From time t = 2 to t = 3 we are going down with a slope of -1. At time t = 3 we "level off" and hold a constant value until t = 4. So, at time t = 3 we need to go from a slope of -1 to a slope of 0. Adding in a unit ramp signal with a slope of 1 does exactly that. Hope that helps. If you found the video useful make sure to check out my website (adampanagos.org) where I have a ton of other resources available and it's easier to watch my videos in a more organized fashion. Thanks, Adam.
doubts clear about construction of signal..

@AdamPanagos

I'm not sure how you came up with that answer but it's definitely not correct. For instance, if we compute your answer at time t = 6 we get: x(6) = u(6) +r(6-1) - 2r(6-2) + u(6-3) + 2u(6-4) - 2u(6-5) = u(6) +r(5) - 2r(4) + u(3) + 2u(2) - 2u(1) = 1 + 5 - 2*4 + 1 + 2*1 - 2*1 = 1 + 5 - 8 + 1 + 2 - 2 = -1 which obviously isn't correct since from the plot of x(t) we know that x(6) should equal zero. The correct answer for the signal is worked out in the video.
