signals and systems

Express the signals shown in Fig. 1 in terms of unit step functions.

Answer

x(t ) u (t 1) 2u (t ) u (t 1) u (t 2) u (t 3)

2. Consider the system shown in Fig. 2. Determine whether it is (a) memoryless, ( b )causal, ( c ) linear,
( d ) time-invariant, or ( e ) stable.

Fig. 2

(a) From Fig. 2 we have y (t ) T x (t ) x (t ) cos c (t ) ; Since the value of the output y ( t ) depends on only
the present values of the input x( t ), the system is memoryless.

(b)

E.g . t 5, y (5) x(5) cos c (5) ; Since the output y ( t ) does not depend on the future values of the input
x(t), the system is causal.

(c) Let

x(t ) 1 x(t ) 2 x(t ). Then


y (t ) 1x1(t ) 2 x 2(t )cos c t

1x1 (t ) cos ct 2 x2 (t ) cos c t


1 y1 (t ) 2 y2 (t )
Thus, the system is linear.
(d) Let

But

y1 (t )

x1 (t ) x (t t0 ) . Then
y1 (t ) T x(t t0 ) x(t t0 ) cos c (t )

be the output produced by the shifted input

y (t t0 ) x(t t0 ) cos c (t t0 ) y1 (t ) . Hence, the system is not time-invariant.

(e) Since

cos c t 1, we have

signals and systems

y (t ) x(t ) cos c t x(t )

Thus, if the input x(t) is bounded, then the output y(t) is also bounded and the system is BIB0 stable.
3. Evaluate y (t ) x(t ) h(t ), where x(t ) u (t ) u (t
(a) by an analytical technique, and (b) by a graphical method.

(b) by a graphical method.


Functions h( ), x( ) and

h(t ), x( )h(t ) for different values of t are sketched in figure below.


We see that x( ) and h(t ) do not overlap for t 0 and t 5, and hence y (t ) 0 for t 0 and
t 5 . For the other intervals, x( ) and h(t ) overlap. Thus, computing the area under the rectangular
pluses for these intervals, we obtain

4. The continuous-time system consists of two integrators and two scalar multipliers. Write a differential

equation that relates the output y(t) and the input x( t ).

x[n] h[n] x[n] [n] [n 1] [n 2] [n 3] [n 4] [n 5]
