The document discusses various signal functions used in engineering. It introduces the unit impulse function, which is zero everywhere except at t=0, where it has infinite height and zero width. The unit impulse function is often used as a "switch" to turn signals on and off. The step function is defined as the integral of the unit impulse function. The document then lists unit ramp function, unit rectangle function, exponential signals, and sinc signal but provides no further details about these functions.
