- Consider the CT signal defined by
- The frequencies `present in the signal’ are the
frequency of the component sinusoids
- The signal x(t) is completely characterized by
the set of frequencies , the set of amplitudes , and the set of phases Representation of Signals in Terms

- Consider the CT signal given by
- The signal has only three frequency
three frequency components components at 1,4, and 8 rad/sec, amplitudes and phases
- The shape of the signal x(t) depends on the
relative magnitudes of the frequency components, specified in terms of the amplitudes Example: Sum of Sinusoids Example: Sum of Sinusoids
