 Signal

 A signal means any variable that caries or contains some kind of

information that can, for example, displayed or manipulated.

 A signal is defined as any physical quantity that varies with time, space,
or any other independent variable or variables. Mathematically, we
describe a signal as a function of one or more independent variables.

 Signal carries information.

 Digital Signal Processing

 Signal processing is a method of extracting information from the signal.

 Digital signal processing is concerned with the digital representation of

signals and the use of digital processors to analyze, modify, or exact
information from signals.
