EKT 230 (Signals and Systems)

Test #1 (60 Minutes)

Instruction: Please write all your work to get full credit. Draw pictures when appropriate.

Question 1:

Sketch the waveforms of the following signals:

i. x(t) = u(t+1) - 2u(t) + u(t-1)

(3)

ii. x(t) = -u(t+3) + 2u(t+1) – 2u(t-1) + u(t-3)

(3)
Question 2

Determine whether the system y[n] = nx[n-1]+2 is :

i. Linear. Justify your answer.

No (1)
x1  y1[n] = nx1[n-1]+2 (0.5)
x2  y2[n] = nx2[n-1]+2 (0.5)
x3 = x1 + x2  y3[n] = nx3[n-1]+2 = nx1[n-1] + nx2[n-1]+2 ≠ y1[n]+y2[n]
(1)
ii. Time invariant. Justify your answer.

No. (1)
x[n]  y[n] and y[n-no] = (n- no)x[n- no-1]+2 (0.5)
x1 = x[n- no]  y[n] = nx1[n-1]+2 = nx[n- no-1]+2 (1)
y[n] ≠ y[n-no] (0.5)
Question 3
