Electrical Signals


ELECTRIC SIGNALS
Electric Quantities used to represent, manipulate, transmit and store information.
DC Signal
DC stands for Direct Current.
The most basic signal type is a signal whose value is designed to remain constant with time.
                                                                              xS = XS
Where XS represents the constant value of signal which may be positive, negative or zero.
Representation: VS
Upper case quantity with upper case subscript.
Graphical Representation

Frequency
Frequency for DC current is ZERO.
As
f=1/T
for DC current T= Infinite.
Any number divided by infinity is ZERO.
AC Signal
Also known as analog signalS
Alternating current (AC) is an electric current which periodically reverses direction, in contrast to direct current (DC) which flows only in one direction.
Representation:
Lower case letter with upper case subscripts.
e.g: vS , iS
Graphical Representation:
The usual waveform of alternating current in most electric power circuits is a sine wave , whose positive half-period corresponds with positive direction of the current and vice versa but AC signals can be also in the following forms. 



The signal alternates sinusoidolly between extremes +Xm ans –Xm . The quantity Xm is called amplitude or peak value.
Xpk = Xm
Peak To Peak:
The difference between extremes is called peak to peak value.
Xpk-pk = 2Xpk = 2Xm
Root Mean Square Value:
The energetic value of signal is represented in the form of root mean square value and denoted as Xrms .

Frequency:
f=1/T

  1. Very informative blog you have shared with us. In 2017, i was searching for the best properties in Bhopal because i wanted to buy flats in Bhopal. It's a big investment so i only wanted to invest at the right place.

  2. Since 2012, every year Central Seat Allocation Board (CSAB) conducts Special Vacant Seats Filling Rounds, commonly known as special rounds after the completion of all JoSAA rounds to fill the remaining vacant seats at IITs, IIEST, NITs, and other GFTIs (except IITs). This year too it will be conducting special rounds examinations for csab counselling  or commonly known as CSAB special round 2020. The special rounds are called Special round 1 and Special round 2 respectively.
