properties
Continuous Time Signal and Discrete Time Signal
 Example
Evaluate the following integration.

Answer: ∞

න g 𝑡 𝛿 𝑡 − 𝑡0 𝑑𝑡 = g 𝑡0
Apply sifting property: −∞

Compare basic form with the question:

Identify, t0 value: t0 = 0 and; and t0 = 0 is between 𝜋 and − 𝜋.

Solve for g 𝑡0 = cos 2.0 = cos 0 = 1

 Example
Evaluate the following integration.

Answer:
∞

න g 𝑡 𝛿 𝑡 − 𝑡0 𝑑𝑡 = g 𝑡0
Apply sifting property:
−∞

Compare basic form with the question:

Identify, t0 value: t0 = 2 and; t0 = 2 is not between 1 and − 5. Thus, no function to be

integrated.
 Example

Answer:
1
𝛿 𝑎 𝑡 − 𝑡0 = 𝛿 𝑡 − 𝑡0
Apply scaling property: 𝑎

 Example

e. 10π𝑡δ(𝑡 + 1)

Answer:

Apply equivalence property:

Compare basic form with the question: 10π𝑡δ(𝑡 + 1)

Identify, t0 value: t0 = -1 and; replace t with t0 in g function.

Thus, 10π −1 δ 𝑡 + 1 = −10πδ 𝑡 + 1

 Example

f.

Answer:

No scaling property for delta function in discrete time signal.
