1. For each of the following systems, determine whether the system is (1) stable, (2) causal,
(3) linear and (4) time invariant.
P
(a) T (x[n]) = nk=n0 x[k]
(b) T (x[n]) = x[n] + 3u[n + 1]
2. By direct evaluation of the convolution sum, determine the step response of a LTI system
whose impulse response is
h[n] = an u[n]

0<a<1

3. Find the frequency response H(ej ) of a LTI system whose input and output satisfy the
difference equation
1
y[n] y[n 1] = x[n] + 2x[n 1] + x[n 2]

4. The system shown in figure is known to be time invariant. When the inputs to the system
are x1 [n], x2 [n] and x3 [n], the responses to the system are y1 [n], y2 [n] and y3 [n], as shown.

(a) Determine whether the system T could be linear.

(b) If the input x[n] to the system T is [n], what is the system response y[n]?
(c) What are all possible inputs x[n] for which the response of the system T can be determined from the given information alone?

5. A sequence has the discrete-time Fourier transform

X(ej ) =

1 a2
,
(1 aej )(1 aej )

(a) Find the sequence x[n].

(b) Calculate X(ej )cos()d/2pi.
