1. The impulse response of a first order system is Ke . If the input signal x(t) is sin(4t), then the steady state response of
the system y(t) is?

2. Consider a Signal x(t)= sin (700πt) cos(100πt). What is the amplitude of 4th positive harmonic component of x(t)?

1/(4j) is the correct answer.

3. Consider continuous time signals x(t), y(t) and h(t) expressed as
x(t)=tu(t)−tu(t−2)+2u(t−2)−2u(t−3)−2tu(t−3)+2tu(t−4)+8u(t−3)−8u(t−4)
y(t)=tu(t)−tu(t−1)
h(t)=x(t)⊛y(t), Where "⊛" stands for convolution.
h(t) is non-zero in interval (a,b). Find the values of a and b.

5. The transfer function of a system is given by H(s)=1/(s (s−4)). The impulse response of the system is

a) b) c) d)

6. For the following signal:

Time period of the signal is? (Bonus) Find Exponential Fourier Series coefficient(Cn) of x(t).

Thus time period of the signal is 2.

7. Fourier Transform of e is? ( Use ∫−∞ e dt=√2𝜋 )

8. Convolving any signal f(t) with 1/(πt) is called the hilbert transform of f(t).
Given that Fourier transform of sgn(t) is 2/(jΩ), what is the fourier transform of 1/(πt)?

9. State TRUE or FALSE:
Ideal Low-Pass Filter is a causal LTI System.

Ideal Low-Pass Filter is a BIBO stable.

If a signal is Band-Limited, it cannot be Time-Limited
TRUE as a signal cannot be both Band as well as Time-Limited.

10. If x(t) is a real and even signal, then what can you say about X(jΩ)?

∞
11. For any real a, ∫−∞ f(t)δ(a(t−t0))dt is?

12. x(t) is sampled with sampling frequency fs=750Hz to get y(t). Amplitude of Y(f) is zero at? (NOTE: More than one answers
can be true.)
If x(t) has non zero X(f) at some frequency fx Hz then Y(f) will have non-zero response at (750n+fx) where n∈N. For all
other frequencies Y(f) will be zero.

13. Two sequences x1(n) and x2(n) are related by x2(n)=x1(−n). In Z-domain their ROC's are?
Same/Reciprocal/Negative/Complement

14. What is the relationship between Fourier Transform (FT) and Laplace Transform (LT) of a signal x(t)?

15. The Z transform of cos(π/3 n)u[n] is? (Give ROC also)

16. The x[n] is right sided, X(Z) has a single pole and x[0]=2,x[2]=12,x[n] is?
General form of x[n] which has one pole in Z transform:
n
x[n]=Cp u[n]
2
x[0]=2=C and x[2]=12=2p => p=√6
n/2
Thus x[n]=2⋅(6) ⋅u[n]

17. The impulse response of a discrete time system is given by h(n)=1/2(δ[n]+δ[n−2]). The magnitude of the response can
be expressed as?

 2 2 2
18. A system is described by differential equation d y/dt +a y=x(t), is initially at rest. For input x(t)=au(t), the output y(t) is?

L.T. refers to Laplace Transform and I.L.T. refers to Inverse Laplace Transform.

19. The impulse response of a filter is given by h(n)=δ(n)+2δ(n−2)+δ(n−4). The steady-state filter output for an input x(n)=A
cos(nπ/2) is

a) b) c) d) e)

If this approach confuses you, try convolving the two discrete sequences.
