9 Signals Typically one assumes that a signal is an electrical signal, for example, a radio, radar, or TV signal. However, in DSP a signal is any quantity that depends on one or more independent variables.

11 Signals Cont d In our generalized definition of a signal, there may be more than one independent variables and the independent variables may be any quantity other than time.

A video signal is made up of a series of images which change with time; thus a video signal is light intensity that depends on the distances along the x and y axes and also on the time; in effect, a video signal is a 3-dimensional signal.

13 Signals Cont d In our generalized definition of a signal, there may be more than one independent variables and the independent variables may be any quantity other than time. For example, a digitized image may be thought of as light intensity that depends on two independent variables, the distances along the x and y axes; as such a digitized image is, in effect, a 2-dimensional signal. A video signal is made up of a series of images which change with time; thus a video signal is light intensity that depends on the distances along the x and y axes and also on the time; in effect, a video signal is a 3-dimensional signal.
