Linearity
Because engineers talk in symbols instead of words...the following describes linearity.
- A/*B = multiply by any complex number
<pre) x(t) --> system --> *A
|
+ --> w(t)
|
y(t) --> system --> *B
x(t) --> *A
|
+ --> system --> z(t)
|
y(t) --> *B
</pre> If z(t) == w(t) then the system is linear.
In linearity, the values are scalable and follow the rules of superposition.
