Unit Impulse Function
 One of the more useful functions in the study of linear systems is an Unit Impulse Function.
 An ideal impulse function is a function that is zero everywhere but at the origin, where it is
infinitely high. However, the area of the impulse is finite.
• The unit impulse function,
= undefined for t=0 and has the following special property

• A consequence of the delta function is that it can be approximated by a narrow pulse as
the width of the pulse approaches zero while the area under the curve =1.


Representation of Impulse Function
• The area under an impulse is called its strength or weight. It is represented graphically
by a vertical arrow. An impulse with a strength of one is called a unit impulse.

Unit Impulse Train
• The unit impulse train is a sum of infinitely uniformly- spaced impulses and is given by

Properties of an Impulse Function
• is an even signal
• It is a neither energy nor power signal.

Sinusoidal and Exponential Signals
 Sinusoids and exponentials are important in signal and system analysis because
they arise naturally in the solutions of the differential equations.
 Sinusoidal Signals can expressed in either of two ways :
cyclic frequency form- A sin (2Пfot) = A sin(2П/To)t
radian frequency form- A sin (ωot)
ωo = 2Пfo = 2П/To
To = Time Period of the Sinusoidal Wave

Introduction to System
• Systems process input signals to produce output signals

• A system is a combination of elements that processes one or
more signals to accomplish a function and produces output.
output signal
input signal
system

Types of Systems
• Causal and non-causal
• Linear and Non Linear
• Time Variant and Time-invariant
• Stable and Unstable
• Static and Dynamic
• Invertible and non-invertible Systems

Causal, Anti Causal and Non-Causal Signals
• Causal signals are signals that are zero
for all negative time(or spatial
positions).
Causal signal
• Anticausal are signals that are zero for

all positive time.
• Non-causal signals are signals that

have nonzero values in both positive
and negative time.
Causal and Non-causal Systems
• Causal system : A system is said to be causal if the present

value of the output signal depends only on the present
and/or past values of the input signal.
• Examples: 1. y[n]=x[n]+1/2x[n-1]
2. y(t) = x(t)
3. y(t) = x(t-1)
4. y(t) = x(t) + x(t-1)

Causal and Non-causal Systems
• Non-causal system : A system is said to be Non-causal if the present
value of the output signal depends also on the future values of the
input signal.
• Example: 1. y[n]=x[n+1]+1/2x[n-1]
2. y(t) = x(t+1)
3. y(t) = x(t) + x(t+1)
4. y(t) = x(t-1) + x(t+1)
5. y(t) = x(t-1) + x(t) + x(t+1)
39
Exercise on Causal and Non-causal Systems
Q) Check whether the following are casual or non-casual
system.
1. y(t) = x(2t) 7. y(t) =
2. y(t) = x(-t) 8. y(t) =
3. y(t)= x(sin t) 9.y(t) =
4. y
5. y(t) = odd [x(t)]
6. y(t) = sin (t+2) x(t-1)
40
Solution to the Problems
1. y(t) = x(2t)
Substitute t=1 in the above then y(1) = x(2)
Hence the given System is Non-Casual
2. y(t) = x(-t)
Substitute t=1 in the above then y(-1) = x(1)
Hence the given System is System is non-casual
3. y(t) = x(sin t)
Substitute t= - in the above y(-Π) = x(0) (- Π = -3.14)
System is non-casual
41
Solution to the Problems
4. y
substitute t= -1 y(-1) = x(-2), which is past value of input.

0, substitute t = 1 y(1) = x(0), which is past.
System is Casual.
5. y(t) = odd x(t)

x(t) – x(−t) x(−1) – x(1)
y(t) = substitute t=-1 then y(-1) = , which
is dependent on future value. Hence the given System is non-casual
42
Solution to the Problems on Causal and non-causal System
6. y(t) = sin(t+2) x(t-1) 8. y(t) =
put t = 1
y(1) = sin(3) x(0) y(t) =
Present output depends on future values
Constant coefficient Past value also
Hence, the system is non-casual
System is casual
7. y(t) = 9. y(t) =
y(t) =
Present output depends on present
y(t) =
and past values
Hence, the system is casual Present output depends on future values
also. Hence, the system is non-casual
43
Linear and Non Linear Systems
• A system is said to be linear if it satisfies the principle of superposition or if it satisfies the
properties of Homogeneity and Additivity.
• Consider a system where an input of x1[t] produces an output of y1[t]. Further suppose
that a different input, x2[t], produces another output, y2[t]. The system is said to
be additive, if an input of x1[t] + x2[t] results in an output of y1[t] + y2[t], for all possible
input signals.
• Homogeneity means that a change in the input signal's amplitude results in a
corresponding change in the output signal's amplitude. In mathematical terms, if an input
signal of x[t] results in an output signal of y[t], an input of cx[t] results in an output
of cy[t], for any input signal and c is a constant.

Linearity Condition
 For the system to be linear, it should satisfy two properties
then
Then Additivity
B Scaling (or) Homogeneity
or
b Super position
45
Linearity Condition
For linearity:
1.Output should be zero for zero input.
2.There should not be any nonlinear operation
Example : The functions like Sin, Cos, tan, Cot, Sec,
cosec, Log, Exponential, Modulus, Square, Cube, Root,
Sampling function(), sinc(), Sgn() etc.…. have nonlinear
operations.

Problem based on Linearity and Non-Linearity
1. y(t) = x(t) + 2
If input is (t), then (t) is output
If input is (t) then (t) is output
If input is (t) + (t) then the output must be (t) + (t)
(t) (t) = (t) + 2
(t) (t) = (t) + 2
(t) + (t) (t) + (t)
(t) + 2 + (t) + 2
= (t) + (t) + 4
(t) + (t) ≠ (t) + (t) + 4
Hence the system is non-linear
47
Check whether the given system is linear or nonlinear
2.

Time Invariant and Time Variant Systems
• A system is said to be time invariant if a time delay or time advance of

the input signal leads to a identical time shift in the output signal.

Time Variant and Time in Variant System

Stable and Unstable Systems
• A system is said to be bounded-input bounded- output stable

(BIBO stable) if every bounded input results in a bounded
output.

Stable and Unstable Systems Contd.
Example
y[n]=1/3(x[n]+x[n-1]+x[n-2])
1
y[n]  x[n]  x[n 1]  x[n  2]

 (M x  M x  M x )  M x

Stable and Unstable Systems Contd.
Example: The system represented by y(t) = A x(t) is

unstable ; A˃1
Reason: let us assume x(t) = u(t), then at every instant
u(t) will keep on multiplying with A and
hence it will not result in a bounded value and it may
tend to infinite value.

Stable and Unstable Systems
1. y(t) = x(t) +2
put x(t) = 10
y(t) = 10 + 2
= 12
As input is bounded value, output is also a bounded value.
Hence System is Stable
2. y(t) = t x(t)
put x(t) = 10
y(t) = 10t
As ‘t’ can be any value between -∞ to ∞,
y(t) is unbounded. Hence System is Unstable
58
Problems on Stable and Unstable Systems
3. y(t) =
put x(t) = 2
y(2) =
When ‘t’ is 0 and Π, then sin(t) has values of sin 0 = 0 and
Sin(Π) = 0 respectively.
Therefore, y(t) = i.e., y(t) is unstable as output is not bounded
59
Static Systems
• A static system is memoryless system

• It has no storage devices
• Its output signal depends on present values of the input
signal
• For example

Dynamic Systems
• A dynamic system possesses memory

• It has the storage devices
• A system is said to possess memory if its output signal
depends on past values and future values of the input signal

Example: Static or Dynamic?

Example: Static or Dynamic?
Answer:
• The system shown above is RC circuit
• R is memoryless
• C is memory device as it stores charge because of which
voltage across it can’t change immediately
• Hence given system is dynamic or memory system

Examples

Exercise Problems
Check whether given system is Static or Dynamic
1. y(t) = x(t) + x(t-1)
2. y(t) = x(-t)
3. y(t) = x(sin t)
4. y(t) = x(t-1)
5. y(t) = Even [x(t)]
6. y(t) = Real [x(t)]
65
Invertible & Non-invertible Systems
• If a system is invertible if it has an Inverse System. Otherwise it is
non-invertible system
x(t) y(t) Inverse x(t)
System
System
• Example: y(t)=2x(t)
– System is invertible must have inverse, that is:
– For any x(t) we get a distinct output y(t)
– Thus, the system must have an Inverse
• x(t)=1/2 y(t)=z(t)
System y(t)=2x(t) Inverse
x(t) System x(t)
(multiplier)
(divider)

Check whether the following Systems are invertible
