 1 Introduction

T1 : Solution

(a)

x(t ) + x(t )
As we know even part of any signal is
2
So if we use the above formulae we can determine that even part of x(t ) is represented as signal given in
option (a).

T2 : Solution

(b)
The signal x(t ) = u (t + 5) u (t 4)
x(t )

4 +5 t

Now we need to find y (t ) = x(2t + 2)

To find y (t ) first of all we will find x(t + 2) i.e. left shift signal x(t ) by 2, then we will find x(2t + 2) i.e. scaling
the signal x(t + 2) by factor of 2 and then we will find x(2t + 2) i.e. time reversal of signal x(2t + 2)

x(t + 2) x(2t + 2) y (t ) = x(2t + 2)

T3 : Solution

(a)

The expression of x(t ) is x(t ) = (t 4k ) (t 4k 1).
k =

So x(t ) is a subtraction of two signals each periodic with period 4. So x(t ) is periodic with period 4.

T4 : Solution

The signal is, x(t ) = 3e t u (t )

t 2
Now, energy of signal will be Ex = [3e ] dt = 4.5
0

T5 : Solution

The signal x(t ) is (t 1)2

We need to find x(t ) (t 1)dt = x(1)

So, x(1) = (1 1)2 = 0

So answer is 0.

 2 Fourier Series

T1 : Solution

(a)
Given that Fourier series coefficient of x(t ) is ak
F.S.
So, x(t )
ak

x(t ) + x (t )
Now, real part of x(t ) is
2
F.S.
and if x(t )
ak
F.S.
then ak
x (t )

x(t ) + x (t ) F.S. ak + ak
So real part of x(t ),

T2 : Solution

(c)
We know that Fourier series cannot be defined if the signal is non periodic. From the given options, signal
given in option (c) is non periodic. So answer is (c).

T3 : Solution

(d)

For real periodic signal the Fourier series coefficients (ck ) are conjugate symmetric (ck = c k ) which means
even magnitude and odd phase. So option (c).

T4 : Solution

(d)

t + To
The signal x(t ) is such that x(t ) = x , so the signal has half wave symmetry. So the signal will have
2

only odd harmonics, and since signal is even it will have only cosine terms.

 3 Fourier Transform

T1 : Solution

(b)
The Fourier transform is X () = u () u ( 2), we know that
If signal is real then X () is conjugate symmetric.
If signal is imaginary then X () is conjugate anti-symmetric
The given X () is neither conjugate symmetric nor conjugate anti-symmetric.
So x(t ) is complex signal.

T2 : Solution

(d)
Given that x(t ) is real
x(t ) = 0 for t 0

and d = t e t
2

F.T.
We know that if x(t )
X()
x(t ) + x(t ) F.T. X () + X ( )
then Even [x(t )],
2 2
So Fourier transform of even part of x(t ) is real part of X (). So inverse Fourier transform of Re[X ()] will be
even part of x(t ).

So even part of x(t ) is t e t

x(t ) + x(t )
So, = t e t
2
and x(t ) = 0 for t < 0
So, x(t ) = 2te t u (t )

(d)
Given that x(n ) is right sided and real, X (z ) has two poles, two zeros at origin and one pole at e j/2, X (1) = 1.
