 Quiz 2
1. (40 points) is y [n] = r n x [n] BIBO stable? Explain your answer.
sol: if r > 1, then |y[n]| is not bounded → Non-BIBO; if
0 < r ≤ 1, |y[n]| is bounded → BIBO.
2. (40 points) A system is described as y (t) = x (t) x (t − 1). Can
we obtain the output signal by performing the convolution of the
input signal and the system impulse response? Explain your
answer.
sol: Because the system is non-linear, it is not LTI. Therefore, we
can not perform the convolution of the input and the system ’s
impulse response.
3. (30 points) Given the input signal x (t) and system impulse
response h (t), find the output signal.
sol:

1. (30 points) Write down the overall system impulse response (equivalent system
impulse response). sol: y [n] = [(h1 [n] + h2 [n]) ∗ h3 [n] − h4 [n]] ∗ x[n] =⇒
h[n] = (h1 [n] + h2 [n]) ∗ h3 [n] − h4 [n]
2. (20 points) Given the difference equation,

3. (50 points) The RC circuit is shown as below,

3.1 (25 points) Please give then h(t). sol: Bonus questions are typically for extra credits.
3.2 (25 points) Is this system a low pass filter, high pass filter, band pass filter, or all pass
filter? Explain your answer. sol: Since ω → ∞, the magnitude response |H(jω)| → 0;
hence, this is low-pass system.

Sol: X (s) = s−2 , and ROC:<{s} > 2.
(b) (20 points) Does the Fourier transform of x(t) exist?
