The integral ∫_(−∞)^(∞) δ(t)e^(-jωt) dt evaluates to e^(−jω * 0) because the impulse function δ(t) is zero everywhere except at t=0. Thus, the result is 1 .
The generalized function definition of the impulse states that δ(at) = 1/|a| δ(t) for a ≠ 0. This transformation signifies that scaling the argument of the impulse by a factor a results in scaling the impulse itself by 1/|a|, ensuring the area (integral) under the impulse remains unity .
For y(t) = x(2t − 4), the system is invertible since reversing the transformation x(2t − 4) to x(t) can be achieved by re-scaling and shifting: x(t) = y((t+4)/2). The system is not memoryless because the output at a given time depends on the input at a transformed time instance, implying a dependency on past or future values .
To analyze y(t) = x(t/2), we test the following: (a) Linearity: The system is linear as it satisfies additivity and homogeneity. (b) Time Invariance: It is not time-invariant because scaling the time affects the system response differently over shifts. (c) Causality: It is non-causal. Causality requires the output at time t to depend only on input at that time or earlier. (d) Stability: If x(t) is stable, y(t) will also be stable. (e) Invertibility: The system is invertible by scaling time again by 2 to retrieve x(t) from y(t).
Frequency modulation (FM) is neither linear nor time-invariant. Linearity fails as the output is a cosine function of the integral of the input, a non-linear operation. It is not memoryless since the output depends on the integral (past values) of the input. However, it is causal, as the output at any time depends only on past and present input values, ensuring no future input influence .
The sum of two periodic signals x1(t) and x2(t) is periodic if the ratio of their periods, T1 and T2, is a rational number. Mathematically, this requires that T1/T2 = m/n, where m and n are integers. The fundamental period of the combined signal x(t) = x1(t) + x2(t) is the least common multiple (LCM) of T1 and T2 .
The system y[n] = x[n]x[n−2] is not memoryless because the output depends on the present input x[n] and a past input x[n−2]. When the input x[n] is Aδ[n], x[n−2]=Aδ[n−2], leading to an output of y[n]=Aδ[n]*Aδ[n−2]=0 as δ[n] and δ[n−2] do not overlap except at n=0, causing y[n]=0 for all n≠0 .
To sketch y(t) for specific ωc and ωΔ values, with m(t) defined as m(t) = u(t+2) - u(t-1), compute the integral of m(t), ∫_(−∞)^t m(τ)dτ, which results in a piecewise linear function. With ωc=8π and ωΔ=2π, the modulated phase is calculated, and y(t) is sketched by plotting the cosine function with the computed phase variations, leading to a waveform modulated in frequency according to the integrated m(t).
For a continuous-time LTI system, the response to an exponential input of the form est is given by H{est} = λest, where λ is a complex constant dependent on the system. This indicates that the output is merely a scaled version of the input, preserving its structure, showing that exponentials are the eigenfunctions of LTI systems .
The fundamental period of the signal x(t) = cos(10πt + 1) - 2 sin(4πt - 1) is determined by finding the period of each component. The period of cos(10πt) is T1 = 1/5, and the period of sin(4πt) is T2 = 1/2. Since T1/T2 = (1/5)/(1/2) = 2/5, a rational number, the signal is periodic. The least common multiple of these periods gives the fundamental period, LCM(1/5, 1/2) = 1, so the fundamental period is T = 1 .
