EE315: Signals & Systems Final S10

There are 115p in total.

Problem 1
A continuous time LTI system has the impulse response
h(t) = eat (et + 1)u(t)

1. (10p) For what values of a is the system stable? For what values is the system causal? 2. (10p) The input to the system is
x(t) = u(t 1)

Find the output for a = 1.

Solution
1. We have
h(t) = e(a1)t u(t) + eat u(t)

The rst term is stable for a 1 > 0 and the second term for a > 0, so we need a > 1. 2. Use ip-and-slide. Then y(t) = 0 for t < 1. For t > 1 we calculate

1. (5p) Find a dierence equation describing the system. 2. (10p) Find the impulse response h[n] of the system. 3. (10p) If the input to the system is x[n] = 2 cos(n), what is the output? Page 1 of 5

Solution
1. Straighforward. 2. We have
R(z) = = = 1z 1 1 8 1 4 z 3 z2 8 1 1z 3 8 (1 4 z)(1 + 1 z) 2 B A + 1 1 3z 1 + 2z 4

with
A = B = 1 1z 8 1 + 1z 2 0.15 = 0.025

So

Problem 3
A system is described by the dierential equation
dy(t) + 3y(t) dt = 4x(t)

The input is
x(t) = e2t u(t)

1. (10p) Find the Fourier transform Y (j) of the output of the system y(t). 2. (10p) Find the output signal y(t).

Solution
1. We have
jY (j) + 3Y (j) = 4X(j)

So
H(j) = 4 j + 3

and
X(j) = 1 j + 2

Then
Y (j) = 4 (j + 3)(j + 2)

2. We write
Y (j) = A B + j + 3 j + 2

with
A B = = 4 s+2 4 s+3 = 4
s=3

=4
s=2

So
y(t) = 4e3t u(t) + 4e2t u(t)

Problem 4
Find the Fourier transform of the following signals 1. (10p) x(t) = t cos(t)et u(t). 2. (10p) x[n] = 2|n| .

Solution
1. Let y(t) = tet u(t). Then
x(t) = 1 1 jt e y(t) + ejt y(t) 2 2

Therefore
X(j) = 1 (1 + j( 1))

Problem 5
Consider the signal
x(t) = 2 cos(10t) + cos(25t)

The signal is sampled to obtain the signal

x[n] = x(nT )

with Fourier transform X(ej ). 1. (5p) What is the minimum sampling frequency s = In the following the sampling frequency is s = 30 . 2. (10p) Sketch the Fourier transform X(ej ) of x[n]. 3. (5p) Find an expression for x[n] . 4. (10p) The signal is reconstructed with an ideal reconstruction lter with
H(j) = 1 || < 15 0 otherwise
2 T

that can be used to avoid aliasing?

Write down an expression for the output y(t) of the lter.

Solution
1. s > 2 25 = 50 .

2 1 1 3. As T = 30 we have x[n] = 2 cos 10 15 n + cos 25 15 n . But according to the gure, as one of the 2 cosines are aliased, this can more appropriately be written as x[n] = 2 cos 3 n + cos 1 n . 3

4. From the plot

x(t) = 15(2 cos(10t) + cos(5t))

(The factor 15 is from the factor

1 T

in the sampling formula, but is not important).
