a) Find the impulse response ℎ[𝑛] for the following system

𝑦[𝑛] = 𝛼1 𝑥[𝑛] + 𝛼2 𝑥[𝑛 − 1]

Where 𝛼2 < 0 and 𝛼1 > 0.
b) The unit step response 𝑠[𝑛] is defined as the response of an LTI
when the input
𝑥[𝑛] = 𝑢[𝑛]. Find the unit step response 𝑠[𝑛] for the following
systems
1. 𝑦[𝑛] = 𝛼1 𝑥[𝑛] + 𝛼2 𝑦[𝑛 − 1] with the initial condition
𝑦[𝑛] = 0, 𝑛 < 0

c) Find the impulse response ℎ[𝑛] for the following system and decide
if it is causal
1. 𝑦[𝑛] = 𝑎1 𝑥[𝑛] + 𝑎2 𝑥[𝑛 − 1] − 𝑏𝑦[𝑛 − 1] with the initial
condition 𝑦[𝑛] = 0, 𝑛 < 0

d) Determine the output 𝑦[𝑛] of the system with impulse response
1, 0≤𝑛≤4
ℎ[𝑛] = {
0, 𝑒𝑙𝑠𝑒𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒
to the input
𝛼 𝑛 , −3 ≤ 𝑛 ≤ 5
𝑥[𝑛] = {
0, 𝑒𝑙𝑠𝑒𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒
e) Consider designing a DT inverse system to eliminate the distortion
associated with an undesired echo in a data transmission problem.
The echo causes the input signal 𝑥[𝑛] to be attenuated by a
constant factor 𝑎 and delayed by one time unit. The attenuated
signal is represented by the following equation
𝑦[𝑛] = 𝑥[𝑛] + 𝑎𝑥[𝑛 − 1]
If ℋ{𝑥[𝑛]} = 𝑦[𝑛], find a causal system ℋ −1 such that
ℋ −1 {𝑦[𝑛]} = 𝑥[𝑛]. That is, if we receive a distorted signal 𝑦[𝑛], we
shall be able to recover the original transmitted signal 𝑥[𝑛]. Hint:
Let the impulse response of ℋ be denoted ℎ[𝑛] and the impulse
response of ℋ −1 be denoted ℎ−1 [𝑛]. The following relationship
must hold
ℎ[𝑛] ∗ ℎ−1 [𝑛] = 𝛿[𝑛]
Then the problem of finding ℋ −1 reduces to finding ℎ−1 [𝑛] such
that the above mentioned equation holds. Try to find ℎ[𝑛] first.
