Activity 1: Signal Operations

Name: Salaritan, Clyde B. Date: 07/10/20

Course: BS ECE 3A

Instructions: Work out the following operations. Please upload your Activity 1 in PDF with complete
process/solution.

For the signal x (t ) given below:

Sketch the following

a. x ( −t3 )
α= ( −t3 )
β=0

o
( 3t )3 = 3(3)
Expand x(t) by a factor of 3.

Since α is negative, perform time folding

Because β = 0 , there’s no advancing or delaying

b. x ( 1+t )

α=1
β=1

Since α = 1, there’s no expanding or compressing

Since α is positive, there’s no folding

β 1
Advance by 1 because = =1
α 1

c. x (−t)

α = -1
β= 0

Since α = - 1, there’s no expanding or compressing

Since α is negative, perform time folding

Because β = 0 , there’s no advancing or delaying

d. x (−2−t )

α = -1
β = -2

Since α = -1, there’s no expanding or compressing

Since α is negative, perform time folding

β −2
Advance by 2 because = =2
α −1
