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;  
     
frequency (n) – the number of times that a periodic function or vibration repeats itself in a
