This document discusses different types of systems including:
- Lumped-parameter systems which depend only on time and distributed-parameter systems which depend on both time and space.
- Memoryless systems which depend only on the current input and memory systems which depend on past inputs.
- Causal systems where the output depends only on past and present inputs.
- Linear systems where the output is a linear combination of scaled inputs.
- Time-invariant systems where a time-shifted input results in a time-shifted output.
- Stable systems where bounded inputs produce bounded outputs.
Examples are provided to determine system properties like memory, linearity, and time-invariance.

COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus Lumped-Parameter and Distributed- Parameter Systems Lumped-parameter systems involve signals that are function of time only:
For example, electric wiring at home or factory
Such systems can be represented by difference or differential equation Distributed-parameter systems involve signals that are function of both time and space:
For example, electromagnetic signal, electrical transmission line, antenna
Such systems can be represented by partial difference or differential equation Memoryless and Memory Systems Memoryless Systems: Output signal value at time depends on the input signal value corresponding to only time No memory elements such as capacitors, inductors or registers No derivative, integral or delay terms Memory Systems: Output signal at time depends on input signal values corresponding to times in addition to . One or more energy storing elements CT systems – differential equations, DT systems – difference equation, CT systems with delays Causal Systems Causal Systems: output at time depends on the values of the input signal that occur only at times . Memoryless system is always causal. System Order The order of single-input single-output system is the order of the difference or differential equation of the system. CT system: order of the highest derivative DT system: the largest delay of the output signal Reducing order means reducing the number of storage elements Linear Systems Consider a CT system when and . The system is linear if
where and are constants.
DT linear system? Superposition holds! Time-Invariant System The system (or ) is time-invariant if the output changes only by time shift if the input shifts by ; i.e. or System Stability A system possess bounded-input bounded-output (BIBO) stability if every bounded input signal produces a bounded output signal. Example 1 Determine whether the following systems have memory? If yes, what is the order? Example 2 Determine whether the system is linear? Is it time-invariant? Example 3 Determine whether the system is linear? Time invariant? References G. E. Carlson, (2007). Signal and Linear System Analysis. 2nd Edition, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
