In the subject of signal and system, understanding how systems respond to various inputs is crucial. To do this effectively, we use standard test signals. We use many basic types of signals to check a system's behaviour, evaluate performance, and compare different systems. These types of signals are also called standard test signals. Now, we will define all standard test signals with examples. Standard test signal types with example: The standard test signals are impulse, step, ramp and parabolic. These signals are used to know the performance of the control systems using time response of the output. 1. Unit impulse function: Continuous-Time Impulse Signal ( δ ( t ) ): It's ideally a signal that is zero everywhere except at t = 0 , where it is infinitely high, but with a finite area (usually defined as 1). Discrete-Time Unit Impulse Signal ( δ [ n ] ): It's 1 at n = 0 and 0 everywhere else. 2. Unit step function: Continuous-Time Unit Step Signal ( u ( t ) ): It's 0...
