1-2-1 The unit-step function The continuous-time unit-step function
The continuous-time unit-step function is denoted as u ( t ) and is defined mathematically by: 0,  u (t ) =  1,  for t < 0 for t ≥ 0

which have the zero amplitude for all t < 0 and the amplitude of 1 for all t ≥ 0 , and its plot is shown in Figure 1-10

The discrete-time unit-step function
The discrete-time unit-step function is denoted as u [ n ] , and is defined mathematically by: 0  u [ n] =  1  and its plot is shown in Figure 1-11. for n = −1, −2, −3, for n = 0,1, 2,3, 4,

The amplitude scaling
If A , is an arbitrary nonzero real number, than Au ( t ) is step function with amplitude of A for all t ≥ 0 and zero for all t < 0 as  0,  Au ( t ) =   A,  and its plot is shown in Figure 1-12. for t < 0 for t ≥ 0

The causality property of unit step function
The signal f ( t ) defined over time domain of −∞ ≤ t ≤ +∞ , starts at t = −∞ . If there is a desire that the signal be in causal form (starts at t = 0 ), it can be described as f ( t ) u ( t ) . The product f ( t ) u ( t ) of any signal f ( t ) is equal to f ( t ) for all t ≥ 0 and 0 for all t < 0 is given by:

 0,  f (t ) u (t ) =   f (t ) , 

for t < 0 for t ≥ 0

Note that the signal f ( t ) exist over −∞ < t < ∞ and by multiplying the function f ( t ) by unit-step function u ( t ) , any nonzero value of f ( t ) in the time interval of −∞ < t < 0 will be forced to zero, and the signal will be turned on at t = 0 . The plot of f ( t ) u ( t ) is shown in Figure 1.13.

    As a shy teenage girl with two left feet and a fear of dancing in public, I felt that dancing at a friend’s quinceanera as a member of her court of honor was going to be the worst experience of my life. After my mother gave me the news that she had volunteered me to be a dama de honor, I immediately complained about having to dance with a group of strangers for 5 months in preparation for the dance performance in front of about 200 people. For the first month I reluctantly attended every practice, and the most communication I had with the rest of the court members were a few mumbles once in a while. But as the day of the quinceanera approached, I became more comfortable with the other members of the court and even befriended some of them. I…
