Tutorial Sheet -1

1. Draw the following signals

a. 𝑥(𝑡) = 5𝑢(𝑡)
b. 𝑥(𝑡) = 3𝑡𝑢(𝑡)
c. 𝑥(𝑡) = −2𝑢(𝑡)
d. 𝑥(𝑡) = 2𝑡 2

2. Sketch the following discrete time signals

b. 𝑥[𝑛] = −2 𝑢[𝑛]
c. 𝑥[𝑛] = 2𝑒 −3𝑛 𝑢[𝑛]
d. 𝑥[𝑛] = 2𝑛2 𝑢[𝑛]

3. Identify the nature of signal: Causal/Noncausal, bounded/unbounded or

Continuous/Discrete
a. 𝑥(𝑡) = 5𝑢(𝑡) b. 𝑥[𝑛] = 3𝑢(𝑛)
c. 𝑥(𝑡) = 3𝑡𝑢(𝑡) d. 𝑥[𝑛] = −2 𝑢[𝑛]

g. 𝑥(𝑡) = 2𝑡 2 h. 𝑥[𝑛] = 2𝑛2 𝑢[𝑛]
4. Sketch the rectangular pulse and identify the nature of signal and parameters (area, width
and amplitude)
𝑡
a. 𝑥[𝑛] = 3𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑡(5)
𝑡
