This glossary contains key concepts from readings 1 and 2 that will be shown below.
Aircraft
Noun.
An airplane, helicopter, or other machine capable of flight.
Example: The aircraft include airplanes, helicopters, airships (including blimps), gliders, paramotors, and hot air balloons.

Analog frequency
Noun.
It is a type of signal generated by some type of electromagnetic phenomenon; which is representable by a continuous mathematical function in which its amplitude and period are variable as a function of time.
Example: They can be perceived in all places, for example, nature has a set of these signs such as light, energy and sound.
en: Frecuencia analógica.
Brightness
Noun.
The quality or state of giving out or reflecting light.
Example: The brightness of the stars depends on the energy they give off per unit of time.
en: Brillo.
Continuous-Time Signals
Noun.
Is a function, s(t), that is defined for all time t contained in some interval on the real line.
Example: The electrical signals derived in proportion with the physical quantities such as temperature, pressure, sound etc. are generally continuous signals.

Depth
Adjective
The distance from the top or surface to the bottom of something.
Example: Is a swimming pool being six feet deep.
en: Profundidad
Discrete-Time Signals
Noun.
Is a time series consisting of a sequence of quantities.
Example: If you were monitoring the temperature of a room, you would be able to take a measured value of temperature at any time.

Frequency
Noun
The rate at which something occurs or is repeated over a particular period of time or in a given sample.
Example: The rate at which a vibration occurs that constitutes a wave.
en: Frecuencia
Patterns
Noun.
it is a set of repeating designs and elements.
Example: They are sequences of repeating digits that repeat infinitely.
en: Patrones
Signal energy
Noun.
The definition of signal energy and power refers to any signal ( )tx , including signals that take on complex values.
Example: A signal having only one square pulse is energy signal.
en: Señal de energía.
Signals
Noun.
An electrical impulse or radio wave transmitted or received.
Example: This signal reaches the calculator screen and is translated into figures that we can understand.
en: Señales
Systems
Noun.
It is a network of electrical components installed to supply, transfer and use electrical energy.
