A discrete-time signal is represented symbolically as s (n), where n = {..., −1, 0, 1,... }.

Figure 5.7 Cosine
The discrete-time cosine signal is plotted as a stem plot. Can you find the formula for this signal?
We usually draw discrete-time signals as stem plots to emphasize the fact they are functions defined only on the integers. We can delay a discrete-time signal by an integer just as with analog ones. A signal delayed by m samples has the expression s (n − m).
