Figure for Question (a) The input signal x2 (t) in Fig can be expressed in terms of x1 (t) as follows:

x2 (t) = x1 (t + 1) + x1 (t) + x1 (t 1) It then follows that: y2 (t) = y1 (t + 1) + y1 (t) + y1 (t 1) The signal y2 (t) is plotted in Fig. (a) (b) The input signal x3 (t) in Fig. (d) can be expressed in terms of x1 (t) as:

x3 (t) = 2x1 (t) + x1 (t 1) + 2x1 (t 2) Therefore y3 (t) = 2y1 (t) + y1 (t 1) + 2y1 (t 2) The signal y3 (t) is plotted in Fig. (b)

Figure: Interconnection of four LTI systems. (a) We rst derive an expression for the overall impulse response in terms of the impulse response of each system. let begin with the parallel combination of h1 [n] and h2 [n]. The distributive property implies that the equivalent system has the impulse response: h12 [n] = h1 [n] + h2 [n] This systems is in series with h3 [n], so the associative property implies that the equivalent system for the upper branch has the impulse response: h123 [n] = h12 [n] h3 [n] Finally, observe that the upper branch is in parallel with the lower branch, characterized by h4 [n]. Therefore, the overall impulse response is given as: h[n] = h123 [n] h4 [n] = (h1 [n] + h2 [n]) h3 [n] h4 [n]

(b) Now substitute the specic form of h1 [n], h2 [n], h3 [n] and h4 [n], one has: h12 [n] = u[n] + u[n + 2] u[n] = u[n + 2] h123 [n] = u[n + 2] [n 2] = u[n] Finally, the impulse response is given as: h[n] = h123 [n] h4 [n] = (1 n )u[n]
