1.11 REPRESENTATION OF DISCRETE TIME SYSTEMS

It is possible to describe the operations of discrete time systems with the help of block diagrams. Using the fundamental building blocks, the block diagrams of discrete time systems can be prepared. The fundamental building blocks are adders, multipliers, delay and advance elements which are discussed in this article.
