Q1: (14marks)
For a LTI system, explain why the output 𝑦(𝑛) = 𝑥(𝑛) ∗ ℎ(𝑛), where 𝑥(𝑛) is the input and ℎ(𝑛) is
the impulse response.
Q2: (22marks)

Evaluate the convolution of the two sequences:

1 𝑛
ℎ(𝑛) = ( ) 𝑢 (𝑛)
4
𝑥 (𝑛) = 𝑢(−𝑛 − 1)

by using linear convolution (11 marks) directly and the z-transform (11 marks) . Verify the
results are same. (hint: mind the ROC before making the anti z-transform).

Q3: (8 marks)
Compute the 𝑥1 (𝑛) 𝑥1 (𝑛) of the following finite length sequence 𝑥(𝑛),where 𝑁 = 4 :

𝑥 (0) = 2, 𝑥 (1) = 1, 𝑥(2) = −2, 𝑥 (3) = −1,

Q4: (8 marks)
Compute the N-point DFT of the finite length sequence given in exercise Q3

Q5: (10marks)
Find the impulse response h(n) of the following LTI system described by a LCCDE by using the z-
transform
1 5
𝑦(𝑛) − 𝑦(𝑛 − 1) − 𝑦(𝑛 − 2) = 2𝑥 (𝑛)
6 6

And under the assumption that the system is causal. Is this LTI system stable?

Q6: (9 marks)
Find the z-transform of:
i. 𝑥 (𝑛) = 𝑢(−𝑛 + 2) (hint: draw the input)
And determine the ROC.
Q7: (9 marks)
Verify if the signals below are periodic and, in this case, determine the fundamental period.
𝑛
i. 𝑥 (𝑛) = cos ( )
5
𝜋
ii. 𝑥 (𝑛) = cos ( 3 𝑛)
𝜋𝑛
iii. 𝑥 (𝑛) = 𝑒 −𝑗 3
(each sub-question is 3 marks)

Q8: (8 marks)
Determine for each of the following systems if they are causal and time-invariant. (𝑥(𝑛) is the input
and 𝑦(𝑛) is the output) and stable

i. 𝑦(𝑛) = 𝑥 (−𝑛) (this is a system that reverses the input) (4 marks)

ii. 𝑦(𝑛) = ∑𝑛𝑘=−∞ 𝑥(𝑘) (this is an accumulator) (4 marks)

Q9: (12 marks)

Given the DTFT of a sequence h(n):

i. What is the condition on the signal h(n) by which the DTFT exists? ( 3 marks)
ii. By the knowledge of the ROC of the z-transform H(z) of the signal h(n), when does the DTFT
exist? (3 marks)
iii. If h(n) represents an impulse response of an LTI system, what does the previous condition
in point i mean? (3 marks)
iv. If the sequence h(n) is a finite length sequence, what conclusion can you immediately draw
about the ROC of its z-transform H(z)? (3 marks)
