ME-324: Discrete-time control of dynamical systems

On introduit les bases de l'automatique linéaire discrète qui consiste à appliquer une commande sur des intervalles uniformément espacés. La cadence de l'échantillonnage qui est associée joue un rôle primordial pour assurer la stabilité et la performance d ...

Description

This lecture covers the reconstruction of signals using discrete Fourier transform, interpretation of sampled signals, and the relationship between discrete sequences. It also delves into the concept of pulse sampling, band-limited signals, and the harmonic response. The instructor explains the process of sampling signals, obtaining a continuous spectrum, and the implications of replacing variables in the Fourier transform. The lecture concludes with a detailed discussion on the properties of discrete phase signals and the periodic repetition of signals.

Digital signal

A digital signal is a signal that represents data as a sequence of discrete values; at any given time it can only take on, at most, one of a finite number of values. This contrasts with an analog signal, which represents continuous values; at any given time it represents a real number within a continuous range of values. Simple digital signals represent information in discrete bands of analog levels. All levels within a band of values represent the same information state.

Signal processing

Signal processing is an electrical engineering subfield that focuses on analyzing, modifying and synthesizing signals, such as sound, , potential fields, seismic signals, altimetry processing, and scientific measurements. Signal processing techniques are used to optimize transmissions, digital storage efficiency, correcting distorted signals, subjective video quality and to also detect or pinpoint components of interest in a measured signal. According to Alan V. Oppenheim and Ronald W.

Digital signal processing

Digital signal processing (DSP) is the use of digital processing, such as by computers or more specialized digital signal processors, to perform a wide variety of signal processing operations. The digital signals processed in this manner are a sequence of numbers that represent samples of a continuous variable in a domain such as time, space, or frequency. In digital electronics, a digital signal is represented as a pulse train, which is typically generated by the switching of a transistor.

Analog signal

An analog signal is any continuous-time signal representing some other quantity, i.e., analogous to another quantity. For example, in an analog audio signal, the instantaneous signal voltage varies continuously with the pressure of the sound waves. In contrast, a digital signal represents the original time-varying quantity as a sampled sequence of quantized values. Digital sampling imposes some bandwidth and dynamic range constraints on the representation and adds quantization error.

Bandlimiting

Bandlimiting refers to a process which reduces the energy of a signal to an acceptably low level outside of a desired frequency range. Bandlimiting is an essential part of many applications in signal processing and communications. Examples include controlling interference between radio frequency communications signals, and managing aliasing distortion associated with sampling for digital signal processing. A bandlimited signal is, strictly speaking, a signal with zero energy outside of a defined frequency range.
