Signals Versus Vectors
By sampling, a continuous signal g(t) can be
represented as vector g.
g = [ g(t1) g(t2) … g(tn)]
Vector Approximation
To approximate vector g using another vector x then
we need to choose c that will minimize the error e.
g = cx + e
Dot product: <g, x> = ||g||.||x|| cos θ
Signals Versus Vectors
Value of c that minimizes the error
Signal Approximation
g(t) = cx(t) + e(t)
x(t)
Correlation of Signals
Two vectors are similar if the angle between them is
small.
Correlation coefficient
Note: Similarity between vectors or signals does not
depend on the length of the vectors or the strength of
the signals.
Example
Which of the signals g1(t), g2(t), …, g6(t) are similar to
x(t)?
1=1
2=1
3=-1
4=0.961
5=0.628
6=0

Line Spectra of x(t)
• The amplitude spectrum of x(t) is defined
as the plot of the magnitudes |Cn|
versus w
• The phase spectrum of x(t) is defined as
the plot of the angles Cn  phase(Cn )
versus w
• This results in line spectra
• Bandwidth the difference between the
highest and lowest frequencies of the
spectral components of a signal.

Line Spectra in the Exponential Form
• The line spectra for the exponential form has
negative frequencies because of the
