Definition 2.1 System stands for the transformation of signal from one to another. It
can be viewed as a process in which input signals are transformed by the system or cause
the system to respond in some way, resulting in other signals as outputs.

• Approach
— Abstraction
Representing a real object by its special characteristics; that is, the relation
between its inputs and outputs, which becomes a system.
3
Sec 2.2. Types of Systems
— Decomposition
Dividing a system into several smaller systems (components) and studying
them to understand the large system.
— Composition
Putting several systems together to form a larger system and studying it.

• Time-Invariant
— The behavior and characteristics of the system are fixed over time.
— For example, the magnitudes of resistors and capacitors of a circuit are un-
changed over time.
|(w) = K{{(w)}
|(w ) = K{{(w )} (2.2)
• Causality
— The output of the system depends only on the inputs at the present time and
in the past. Z w
— For example, |(w) = {( )g =
0
• Invertability
— Distinct inputs of the system lead to distinct outputs, and an inverse system
exists.
— For example, a system which is |(w) = 2{(w), for which the inverse system is
|(w) = 21 {(w).
• Stability
— If the input of the system is bounded, then the output must be bounded.
