1. Convolve the signals u[n] and an u[−n − 1] given that |a| < 1.

2. Let x[n] = δ[n] + 2δ[n − 1] − δ[n − 3] and h[n] = 2δ[n + 1] + 2δ[n − 1]. Compute and plot
each of the following convolutions.

(a) y[n] = x[n] ∗ h[n]

(b) y[n] = x[n + 2] ∗ h[n]
(c) y[n] = x[n] ∗ h[n + 2]

3. Let
(
1 0≤n≤9
x[n] = (1)
0 elsewhere
(
1 0≤n≤N
h[n] = (2)
0 elsewhere

where N ≤ 9 is an integer. Determine the value of N, given that y[n] = x[n] ∗ h[n],
y[4] = 5 and y[14] = 0.

4. Let y(.) = x(.) ∗ h(.), where x(.) = {2, 2, 3, 3, 4} and y(.) = {2, 4, 9, 10, 13, 10, 8}. Deter-

5. Let x(·) be a complex signal with DTFT X (ejω ). Show the following properties:

(a) DTFT of {x∗ (n)} is X ∗ (e−jω )

(b) DTFT of {x∗ (−n)} is X ∗ (ejω )
X (ejω )+X ∗ (e−jω )
(c) DTFT of {Re(x(n))} is 2

6. Consider the real, positive function G(ω) = A−B1cos ω where 0 < B < A. We wish
to find an absolutely summable sequence x(n) = √1α cn u(n), where α > 0, such that,

G(ω) = |X (ejω )| .

(a) By setting up a pair of equations, solve for α and c in terms of A, B.

(b) Using Parseval’s theorem, obtain an expression for 2π −π
G(ω)dω in terms of A, B.

7. Find the DTFT of each of the following sequences:

(a) x1 [n] = δ[n] + 6δ[n − 1] + 3δ[n − 2]
(b) x2 [n] = ( 21 )n u[n + 3]
(c) x3 [n] = ( 41 )|n|
(d) x4 [n] = αn sin(nω0 )u[n]
(e)

( 12 )n ,

n = 0, 2, 4, ...
x5 [n] =
0, otherwise

8. If the response of a linear shift-invariant system to a unit step (i.e., the step response)
is s[n] = n( 21 )n u[n] find the unit sample response, h[n].

9. Determine whether the LTI systems with following impulse responses is causal and/or
stable. Justify your answers.

(a) h[n] = (− 21 )n u[n] + (1.01)n u[1 − n]

(b) h[n] = n( 13 )n u[n − 1]

10. Show that

(a) x[n] ⋆ y[n] = y[n] ⋆ x[n]

(b) x[n] ⋆ (y[n] + z[n]) = x[n] ⋆ y[n] + x[n] ⋆ z[n]
(c) x[n] ⋆ δ[n − a] = x[n − a]
