- The Four Key Classifications of SystemsIn the study of signals, a system is defined as a "device or combination of devices, which can operate on signals and produces corresponding response." In simpler terms, a system takes an incoming signal, called an input or "excitation," processes it, and produces a new signal, called an output or "response." To better understand and analyze these systems, we can categorize them based on their fundamental properties and behaviors. We can classify systems using four key pairs of characteristics. Each classification acts as a "test" that reveals something fundamental about how the system operates.5
