1. A signal in Figure S1(a) and S1(b) has a zero value except as shown.
a) Write the mathematical equations for both signals in the form of step unit.
b) For the signal x(t) in Figure S1(b), plot the following signals:
i)

x(t/3)

ii) 2 x(2t) + 2

5. Signal y(t) is an output from the convolution process between the input signal, x(t) and
system response, h(t). Find the signal y(t) if
