Applications of Signals and Systems
Let us study the applications of signals and systems
- Signals and systems are taught as a primary course in professional institutions to develop the basics of electronics engineering.
- Signals and systems are used in fields like multimedia processing for efficient transfer of image and video data with minimal loss.
- Sensing methods located in satellites and navigation ships like SONAR, RADARS, and LiDAR work on the principles of signal processing to analyze the received signals.
- Principles of signals and systems are applied in the study of earthquakes I.e. in seismology to study the vibrations that result as a consequence of collision of plates.
- Signals and systems are also used in the telecommunication industry to compress the signal like audio signals therefore efficiently managing the resources available for data transfer.
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.
