1. Using partial fraction expansion find the inverse z-transform of the following:
(a) Find the x [n] ∈ ℓ1 whose z-transform is
1 − 2z−1
X (z) =
1 − 52 z−1 + z−2
(b) Find x [n] whose z-transform is

X (z) = 1 −1 1 −1 3

2. Using series expansion find the inverse z-transform of
1 + 2z−1
X (z) =
1 − 2z−1 + z−2
when x [n] is (a) causal, and (b) non-causal.
3. Consider
1 − a2
Y (z) =
1 + a 2 − a ( z + z −1 )
Using long-division, find (i) causal inverse z-transform (quotient should be in powers
of z−1 ), and (ii) anti-causal inverse z-transform (quotient should be in powers of z).
4. The input to a causal LTI system is x [n] = 2n u[−n − 1] + (1/2)n u[n]. The output
z-transform is
− 23 z−1
Y (z) =
1 + 12 z−1 (1 − 2 z−1 )
(a) Determine H (z). Be sure to specify the RoC.
(b) What is the RoC for Y (z)?
(c) Determine y[n].

5. The following facts are given about and LTI system characterized by h[n] ←→ H (z):
(i) h[n] is real-valued, (ii) h[n] is right-sided, (iii) limz→∞ H (z) = 1, (iv) H (z) has two
zeros, and (v) H (z) has a complex-valued pole on the circle defined by |z| = 3/4. Is
the system causal? Is it stable?

7. Find the sequences whose DTFT are given below: (a) X (e jω ) = (cos ω ) N for an arbi-
trary integer N > 0, and (b) X (e jω ) = (cos ω2 ) N for an arbitrary even integer N > 0.
Hint: Express the cosine function in terms of complex exponentials and apply the binomial
theorem.
8. Consider the DTFT H (e jω ) = jω for ω ∈ [−π, π ). (a) Determine the corresponding
h[n]. What is the value of h[0] ? (b) Apply Parseval’s theorem to this transform pair to

9. Consider the sequence x [n] = {2, 3, −1, 0, −4, 3, 1, 2, 4}. Find the inverse DTFT of (a)
X (e− jω ), and (b) X (−e jω ). Comment on the difference between the two answers.
10. What symmetry property, if any, does the DTFT possess in each of the following cases:
(a) x [n] ∈ R, (b) x [n] = x [−n], in addition to being real-valued, and (c) x [n] = x ∗ [−n].
11. For each of the following Fourier transforms, use DTFT properties to determine whether
or not the corresponding time-domain signal is (i) real, imaginary, or neither, and (ii)
even, odd, or neither. Do this without explicitly evaluating the inverse of any of the
given transforms.
