Signals and Systems Question & Answers June 5, 2021 By WatElectronics This article lists 100+ Signals and Systems MCQs for engineering students. All the Signals and Systems Questions & Answers given below includes solution and link wherever possible to the relevant topic. A signal is a time-variant and a physical phenomenon. The main intention of the signal is to convey information like the human voice, the voltage on telephone wires, electrical signals, etc. Noise is also a signal but it carries unwanted information. A system is a device or group of devices that do operations on signals. The system may have one or more inputs and outputs. The inputs of the system are always excitation and the outputs of the system are always the response. If two or more inputs and two or more outputs are given to the system then that system is called the MIMO system. In three ways the discrete-time signals are represented are functional, tabular method of representation, and sequence representation. In a memory-less system, the value of the present output depends on the present input. The dynamic system consists of delay elements, differentiation, integration, in their equation. In a memory system, the value of the present output depends on past/future input. The step function, impulse function, and ramp function are the elementary signals. The speech signal is the example of a one-dimensional signal, image is an example of the multi-dimensional signal. The system is said to be linear if it satisfies the scaling and additivity properties. If distinct inputs lead to distinct outputs then the system is said to be invertible. 1).
