Systems
Problem (1)
A discrete time system can be:
o Static or dynamic
o Linear or non-linear
o Time invariant or time varying
o Causal or non-causal
o Stable or unstable
Examine the following systems with respect to the properties above:
o 𝑦(𝑛 ) = cos{𝑥[𝑛 ]}
o 𝑦(𝑛 ) = ∑𝑛+1
𝑘=−∞ 𝑥[𝑘]
o 𝑦(𝑛 ) = x[n]cos[𝑤0 𝑛]
o 𝑦(𝑛 ) = 𝑥[−𝑛 + 2]
o 𝑦(𝑛 ) = 𝑥[𝑛]𝑢[𝑛]
o 𝑦(𝑛 ) = 𝑥[𝑛] + 𝑛𝑥[𝑛 + 1]
Problem (2)
Consider the system: 𝑦[𝑛] = 𝑇{𝑥 [𝑛 ]} = 𝑥[𝑛 2 ]
Determine:
a) Is the system is time invariant
b) To clarify the result in part [a] assume that the signal
1 0≤𝑛≤3
𝑥[𝑛] = {
0 𝑒𝑙𝑠𝑒𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒
Is applied into the system
1) Sketch the signal 𝑥[𝑛]
2) Determine and sketch the signal 𝑦[𝑛] = 𝑇{𝑥 [𝑛 ]}
3) Sketch the signal 𝑦 ′ [𝑛] = 𝑦[𝑛 − 2]
4) Determine and sketch the signal 𝑥2 [𝑛] = 𝑥[𝑛 − 2]
5) Determine and sketch the signal 𝑦2 [𝑛] = 𝑇{𝑥[𝑛 ]}
6) Compare the signals 𝑦 ′ [𝑛] and 𝑦2 [𝑛]. What is our conclusion?
c) Repeat part [b] for the system: 𝑦[𝑛] = 𝑥[𝑛] − 𝑥[𝑛 − 1]
d) Repeat parts [b] for the system : 𝑦[𝑛] = 𝑇{𝑥 [𝑛 ]} = 𝑛𝑥[𝑛]
