Signals and Systems
Electronics and communication engineering deals with signal processing and signal transmission. This field of engineering is known as signals and systems. In this article, we will introduce the readers to signals and systems by defining all the necessary terms and discussing the components that make up the communication system.
We will also categorize signals and systems based on their classification and try to understand them through circuit diagrams. The later part of the article will talk about the characteristics, advantages, and applications of signals and systems along with some limitations. The article will conclude with some frequently asked questions that the readers can refer to.
