1.4 BASIC CONTINUOUS TIME SIGNALS

The basic continuous time signals will be discussed in this article.

1.4.1 Unit Step Function

Figure 1.6 shows a step function. The value of the function is zero for t < 0 and its value is unity for t ≥ 0.

Mathematically, it is given below:

 

 

The following are shifted unit step functions:

Figure. 1.7 shows different types of shifted unit step function.
