Signal Energy
Area under a signal can be considered as a
measure of its strength or size taken
account of not only the amplitude but also
the duration:
Positive areas can cancel negative areas.
Signal Energy: (not same as Electric Energy in Joules)

2.5 Signals and Vectors
2.5.2 Component of a Signal:
Signals are not just like vectors. Signals are vectors
and are described by their projections on orthogonal
axes.
Vector is specified by its magnitude and its direction
2.5.3 Orthogonality:
