This document summarizes key concepts in digital signal processing systems. It defines a system as a combination of elements that processes an input signal to produce an output signal. Systems are classified as continuous or discrete time, lumped or distributed parameter, static or dynamic, causal or non-causal, linear or non-linear, time variant or invariant, and stable or unstable. Convolution and the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) are also introduced as important tools in digital signal processing. The DFT transforms a signal from the time domain to the frequency domain.
