Deterministic and Random Signals

Deterministic Signals. A deterministic signal is one which has no uncertainty with respect to its value at any value of
independent variable, namely, time. For example : Rectangular pulse given by Eqn. (1.1) is a deterministic signal. Fig. 1.5
and Fig. 1.6 illustrate rectangular pulse and cosine signal respectively; both are the example of deterministic signal.

S(t) = {1, |t| < 1/2

Another example of deterministic signal is sinusoidal signals such as sine waves and cosine waves as given in Eqn. (1.2).
