Abstract:
Analytical chemistry will be considered here as the measurement science of chemistry that generates, treats, and evaluates signals which contain information about the composition and structure of samples. Analytical information is always obtained from signals. Characteristics and peculiarities of analytical signals will be considered from a very general point of view. A mathematical model of the influencing of signals will be given from which essential performance characteristics of analytical methods can be derived, e.g. sensitivity, cross-sensitivity, specificity, selectivity, and ruggedness (robustness).

Basic Operations on Signals
Time Reversal mirrors a continuous-time signal about the vertical axis at t=0. This is achieved by substituting t with −t. For example, if a signal x(t) is considered, the time-reversed signal is x(−t). This operation can be graphically represented, showing the mirrored signal.
