3. Translate the following definitions and memorize the terms:
| signal (n) | – | a variable parameter, such as a current or electromagnetic wave, by which | |
| information is conveyed through an electronic circuit, communications | |||
| system, etc; the information so conveyed; | |||
| process (v) – | to treat or prepare by a special method; | ||
| sequence (n) – | a particular order in which related events, movements, or things follow each | ||
| other; | |||
| array (n) | – | an ordered arrangement; | |
| discrete (adj) | – | individually separate and distinct; | |
| convert (v) – | cause to change in form, character, or function; | ||
| correlation (n) | – | a mutual relationship or connection between two or more things; | |
| quantization (n) – | the procedure of constraining something from a relatively large or | ||
| continuous set of values to a relatively small discrete set; | |||
| approximate (v) – | to come or bring near or close; be almost the same (as); to find an | ||
| expression for (some quantity) accurate to a specified degree; | |||
| sample (n) – | a small part of anything, intended as representative of the whole; | ||
| theorem (n) | – | general proposition not self-evident but proved by a chain of reasoning; a | |
| truth established by means of accepted truths; | |||
| bandwidth (n) | – | a range of frequencies within a given band, in particular; the range of | |
| frequencies used for transmitting a signal; | |||
| complex (adj) | – | consisting of many different and connected parts; not easy to analyze or | |
| understand; intricate; | |||
| domain (n) – | a particular field of thought, activity, or interest, especially one over which | ||
| someone has control, influence, or rights; | |||
| partition (v) | – | the action or state of dividing or being divided into parts; | |
