10 Signal and Systems. terms

Amplitude
Noun
The height from the center line to the peak (or to the trough). Or we can measure the height from highest to lowest points and divide that by 2.
Example: Since this is now frequency, each sub-carrier may have phase and AMPLITUDE distortion, but will not have changed frequency.

Analog signal
Noun
Any continuous signal for which the time-varying feature of the signal is a representation of some other time-varying quantity.
en: Señal analógica
Continuous-Time Signal
Noun
An infinite and uncountable set of numbers, as are the possible values each number can have.
en: Señal de tiempo continuo
Digital signal
Noun
A signal that is being used to represent 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.
Example: As the majority of communications head into digital territory, DIGITAL SIGNAL processing is playing an ever larger role.

Discrete-Time Signal
Noun
A time series consisting of a sequence of quantities.
en: Señal de tiempo discreta
Function
Noun
A relationship or expression involving one or more variables.
Example: The function of the mathematical system I have to solve is complicated.
en: Función
Graph
Noun
A diagram showing the relation between variable quantities, typically of two variables, each measured along one of a pair of axes at right angles.
Example: Según la teoría, al abrir su economía, un pequeño país en desarrollo debería poder aumentar el bienestar agregado como se muestra en el GRÁFICO.

Signal
Noun
A signal is a description of how one parameter varies with another parameter.
Example: Key points of the G-protein cascade in olfaction and phototransduction Both pressure sensing and hearing are examples of mechanosensory transduction for they take mechanical stimuli and convert it into that of an electrical SIGNAL which is transmitted to the brain.

Signal energy
Noun
A signal whose energy is finite and powe is zero
en: Energía de la señal
System
Noun
A group of interacting or interrelated elements that act according to a set of rules to form a unified whole.
Example: The new payment system offers greater security.
