1. Suppose we have a LTI system whose impulse response is h [ n ] and whose step response (that is, output when the input is a unit step) is s[ n ] . (a) Find an equation for s[ n ] in terms of h [ n ] . (b) Find an equation for h [ n ] in terms of s[ n ] . ! (In each case you should make your equation as simple as possible.) !

! ! 2. Consider the three causal DT systems shown below. For each system, ! ! determine (i) The systems input-output difference equation. (ii) The systems impulse response, and whether it is FIR or IIR. (iii) The systems step response. (iv) Whether or not the system is stable. (Note: The following formula might be useful: N "1 1" a N # ak = 1" a , a $ 1.) k= 0

3. (a) Consider a causal DT system that satisfies the difference equation y [ n ] = x [ n ] " x [ n "1] . Find the systems impulse response and frequency response, and plot the magnitude and phase of the frequency response. (b) Repeat part (a), only now assume that the system of interest is a cascade ! (series) connection of two of the systems of part (a). 4. Consider a system having impulse response h [ n ] = " [ n ] + " [ n # 4 ]. (a) Find and plot the systems magnitude and phase responses. (b) Use the impulse response to find the system output if the input is #" n& #" n& x [ n ] = cos% ( + cos% (. ! $ 2 ' $ 4 ' (c) Explain the results of part of part (b) in terms of the magnitude and phase responses.

Suppose that x t is a bandpass signal having bandwidth B Hz and center c( ) frequency f c = M " B Hz where M is an integer that is >> 1; that is, # # 1& 1& X c ( f ) = 0 except for % M " ( B ) f ) % M + ( B. $ $ 2' 2' ! ! ! ! ! 1 (a) Suppose that we sample x c ( t ) with sample rate = B Hz to form the ! Ts ! sampled signal x [ n ] = x c ( nTs ) . Find X ( F ) in terms of X c ( f ) . Make your answer as simple as possible (it should not involve an infinite sum). ! ! (b) Now suppose that x c ( t ) = m( t ) cos(2" f c t ) where m( t ) is bandlimited to 5 ! ! ! kHz and f c =1 MHz. Show how m( t ) can be recovered from x c ( t ) using only a sampler, DT filter, and reconstruction system. ! ! ! !
