1. Determine the output of the given LTI systems characterized by h[n] to the
given inputs.
(a) h[n] = δ[n] + 3δ[n − 1], x[n] = δ[n] − δ[n + 1] + δ[n − 1]
(b) h[n] = u[n], x[n] = u[n] − u[n − 3]
(c) h[n] = δ[n], x[n] = u[n]
(d) h[n] = u[n] − u[n − 2], x[n] = u[n] − u[n − 3]
(e) h[n] = u[n], x[n] = u[n]
(f) y[n] = u[n] ∗ u[n − 3]
(g) y[n] = (−1)n ∗ 2n u[−n + 2]
2. An LTI system has the impulse response h(t) as depicted in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Impulse response
Use linearity and time invariance to determine the system output y(t) if the
input is
(a) x(t) = 2δ(t + 2) + δ(t − 2)

3. Determine the output of the given LTI systems characterized by h(t) to the
given inputs.
(a) h(t) = e−t u(t); x(t) = u(t) − u(t − 2)
(b) h(t) = u(t); x(t) = e−t u(t)
(c) h(t) = u(t) − u(t − 2); x(t) = u(t − 1) − u(t − 4)
(d) h(t) = e−t u(t); x(t) = δ(t + 1) − δ(t) + 2δ(t − 2)

4. Interconnection of LTI systems: An interconnection of LTI systems is shown in
Figure 2. The impulse responses are h1 [n] = (1/2)n u[n + 2], h2 [n] = δ[n] and
h3 [n] = u[n − 1]. Let the overall impulse response of the system relating y[n] to
x[n] be represented as h[n].

(a) Express h[n] in terms of h1 [n], h2 [n] and h3 [n].
(b) Evaluate h[n].
5. For each of the following impulse responses, determine whether the correspond-
ing system is (i) memoryless (ii) causal, and (iii) stable. Justify your answers.
(a) h(t) = u(t) − 2u(t − 2)
(b) h(t) = eat u(t)
(c) h[n] = 2n u[−n]
(d) h[n] = (1/2)n u[n]
(e) h[n] = cos(πt)u(t)
