relationship : y (n)  ∑ x (k  2) is (i) memoryless, (ii) stable, (iii)causal (iv)
k  - 
(5)
linear and (v) time invariant.
Ans:

(i) Not memoryless - as y(n) depends on past values of input from x(-∞) to x(n-1)
(assuming)n > 0)
(ii) Unstable- since if |x (n)|  M, then |y(n)| goes to ∞ for any n.
(iii) Non-causal - as y(n) depends on x(n+1) as well as x(n+2).
(iv) Linear - the principle of superposition applies (due to ∑ operation)
(v) Time – invariant - a time-shift in input results in corresponding time-shift in
output.

Q.49 Define the terms variance, co-variance and correlation coefficient as applied to
random variables. (6)
Ans:
Variance of a random variable X is defined as the second central moment

E[(X-µ X)]n, n=2, where central moment is the moment of the difference between a
random variable X and its mean µX i.e.,

Correlation coefficient ρXY of X and Y is defined as the co-variance of X and Y
normalized w.r.t σXσY :
ρXY = cov [XY] = σXY

Q.62 Explain the meaning of the following terms with respect to random variables/processes:
(i) Wide-sense stationary process.
(ii) Ergodic process.
(iii) White noise.
(iv) Cross power spectral density. (8)
Ans:
(i) Wide-sense stationary process.
For stationary processes, means and variances are independent of time, and
covariance depends only on the time-difference if in addition, the N-fold joint p.d.f.
depends on the time origin, such a random process is called wide- sense stationary
process.
(ii) Ergodic process.
Ergodic process is one in which time and ensemble averages are interchangeable.
52
Www.BrainKart.com
www.BrainKart.com
For ergodic processes, all time and ensemble averages are interchangeable, not just
the mean, variance and autocorrelation function.
(iii) White noise.
White noise is an idealised form of noise, the power spectral density of which is
independent of frequency. “White” is in parlance with white light that contains all
frequencies within the visible band of electromagnetic radiation..
(iv) Cross power spectral density.
Cross power spectral density of two stationary random processes is defined as the
FT of their cross-correlation function

Ans: h1(n) = (n)

h2(n) = (n-1)+2(n-2)
h3(n) = (n+1)+2(n+2)
Impulse response of the system,
h(n) = h1(n) + h2(n)*h3(n)
= (n) + 2(n+1) + 5(n) + 2(n-1)

Q.68 Given that yt   xt  ht , determine xat  hat  in terms of yt  . If a is
real, for what values of a the system will be (i) causal, (ii) stable? (10)
Ans: y(t) = x(t)*h(t)
Thus, Y(s) = X(s)H(s)
Now x(at) has Laplace transform (1/a) X(s/a) . Similarly h(at) has Laplace
transform (1/a) H(s/a) . Thus
Laplace transform of x(at)*h(at) = (1/a2 )X(s/a) H(s/a)
= (1/a) (1/a) Y(s/a)
= Laplace transform of (1/a)y(at)
Assuming the original system to be causal and stable,
(i) to maintain only causality, a can take any value,
(ii) to maintain stability, a > 0.

Thus the Fourier coefficients are doubled when the period is doubled. The

The poles are z = a, b.
(i) Causal: both a and b  1. Stable: both a and b < 1.

 z  0.5z  1.5 z  0.25z  0.5
For what relationship between a and b the ROC will be the largest? (8)
z
Ans:X(z) = , 0.5< z < 1.5
(z  0.5)(z 1.5)
0.25z
Y(z) = , z > 0.5
(z  0.25)(z  0.5)
z(a 0.25b) z  0.25a  0.375b
a  0.25b
aX(z) + bY(z) =
(z  0.5)(z  1.5)(z  0.25)
Since ROC is decided by the three poles, ROC of aX(z) + bY(z) is 0.5< z <
1.5. However, there is a possibility of cancellation of one of the poles by the
created zero. If the pole at 0.5 can be cancelled, then we shall have the ROC
given by 0.25 < |z| < 1.5 the maximum stretch. The condition is
0.25a  0.375b

Q.82 Find whether the function y(t) = x(t).cos(100πt) represent a Linear, Causal,
time invariant system. (8)
59
Www.BrainKart.com

Ans: y(t)  x(t) cos100t

If the inputs are x1 (t) and x2 (t) , then the corresponding outputs are
y1 (t)  x1 (t) cos100t
y2 (t)  x2 (t) cos100t .
x3 (t) is a linear combination of x1 (t)
Now if the input and x2 (t) , i.e.,
x3 (t)  ax1 (t)  bx2 (t)
where a and b are arbitrary scalars. Then
y (t)  x (t) cos100t  ax (t)  bx (t)cos100t
3 3 1 2
 ax1 (t) cos100t  bx2 (t) cos100t

 ay1 (t)  by2 (t) .
Thus, we conclude that the system is linear.
Since the response depends only on the present values, the system is
causal.
Since y(t   ) = x(t   ) cos100  (t   )  y(t) , the system is time varying.

Ans:
Parseval’s theorem: The Parseval’s theorem states that the energy in the time-domain
representation of a signal is equal to the energy in the frequency domain representation
normalized by 2π.
Proof:
The energy in a continuous time non-periodic signal is
 2
E∫ x(t) dt.

Since x(t)  x(t)x * (t) , from the Fourier series we get

1 
x *(t)  ∫
X *( j )e  jt d .
 1 2 

Hence, E  x(t) X *( j )e jtd dt
∫
2 ∫ 

Now interchanging the order of the integrations, we get 

1 1
E ∫ X *( j ) ∫ x(t)e  jt dt d  ∫ X *( j ) X ( j )d
2   2 

Thus, the energy in the time-domain representation of the signal is equal to the energy
in the frequency-domain representation normalized by 2π.
