+
+**`scipy.signal`** is a submodule of SciPy that provides tools for signal processing, including filter design, spectral analysis, and convolution. It supports both continuous and discrete signals, with applications in areas like audio processing, communications, and data analysis. Key features include:
+
+- **Filter Design and Application**: Design and apply various types of filters.
+- **Fourier Transform**: Analyze frequency components of signals.
+- **Convolution and Correlation**: Apply convolution and correlation for signal processing tasks.
+- **Signal Generation**: Generate standard test signals like sinusoids and square waves.
+
+`scipy.signal` is a powerful tool for working with signals in scientific and engineering fields.
+
+## Syntax
+
+Here's a generic syntax outline for using `scipy.signal`:
+
+```pseudo
+import scipy.signal
+
+# Example: Designing a filter
+b, a = scipy.signal.function_name(*args, **kwargs)
+
+# Example: Applying the filter to a signal
+y = scipy.signal.function_name(b, a, x)
+
+# Example: Signal processing task (e.g., convolution, correlation)
+result = scipy.signal.function_name(x, y, *args, **kwargs)
+```
+
+- `scipy.signal.function_name`: Replace this with the specific function you want to use (e.g., `buttap`, `filtfilt`, `convolve`).
+- `*args`: Positional arguments specific to the function.
+- `**kwargs`: Keyword arguments that can be used to modify the behavior of the function.
+
+This structure is applicable for most functions in `scipy.signal`, where a signal processing task is defined and then applied to the data, with many functions like `lfilter()`, `wiener()`, `correlate()`, `resample()`, `csd()`, `spectrogram()`, and more, making it versatile for various signal processing tasks.
