Problem 1
Determine if the following systems are (a) time-invariant (b) stable (c) causal (you don’t have to check
linearity). Justify your answer
1. A system with input x(t) giving output (10p)
t
y(t) = cos( ) x( )d
t10
2. A system with input x[n] giving output (10p)
y[n] = n 2 x[n 2 ]

3. An LTI system with impulse response h(t) = u(t +1) (10p).
t+2
Problem 2
The impulse response of an LTI system is given by
h(t) = et u(t)
1. If the input is given by x(t) = u(t) u(t 1) , calculate the output. (10p)
2. If the output is
y(t) = (1 et )u(t)
what is the input? (5p) [HINT: compare with the result of 1.]

All multiple-choice questions have equal weight. There is only one correct answer for each question.
(7) Consider a series interconnection of two LTI systems (see figure). They have the impulse responses
h1[n] = [n]
h2[n] = [n] [ n 2]
If the input is
x[n] = u[n]
What is the output of the combined system?
y[n] = [n]
y[n] = [n] + [ n 1]
y[n] = [n] + [ n 1] + [n 2]
y[n] = [n 1]
y[n] = [n 1] + [ n 2]
