B. Properties of Systems:






Linearity: a system is said to be linear such that if
1 1
2 2
( ) ( )
( ) ( )
x t y t
x t y t


then
1 2 1 2
( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ax t bx t ay t by t + + ; a and b are arbitrary constants
The property
1 1
( ) ( ) ax t ay t is referred to as homogeneity, and
the property
1 2 1 2
( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) x t x t y t y t + + is referred to as additivity

Time Invariance: a system is said to be time-invariant such that if
( ) ( ) x t y t
then
0 0
( ) ( ) x t t y t t ;
0
t is an arbitrary time-shift

Causality: a system is said to be causal if the output signal does not
depend on the future values of the input signal. Non-causal systems are
not realizable. For causal systems, if
0
( ) 0, x t for t t = <
then
0
( ) 0, y t for t t = <

Memory: a system is said to be memory-less if at any moment of time
the output depends on the input at that moment. A resistive circuit is a
memory-less system, whereas a circuit with capacitors and/or inductors
has memory.

Invertibility: a system is said to be invertible if unique inputs produce
unique outputs; that is, different inputs do not produce the same output
and one input does not produce different outputs.

Stability: a system is said to be (bounded input-bounded output or
BIBO) stable if bounded inputs result in bounded outputs.

C. Convolution
Definition:

( )* ( ) ( ) ( ) f t f t f f t d

, convolution of
1
( ) f t and
2
( ) f t
For linear time-invariant (LTI) systems, the output response is the
convolution of the input signal ( ) x t and the impulse response ( ) h t ,

Steady-State Response of LTI Systems to sinusoidal inputs:

If the system is represented by an electric circuit, the system function H(f)
is obtained by solving the circuit in the frequency domain using the trans-
