Answer: b
Explanation: The output y[n] =∑^∞_k=-∞u(k)u(n-k-3), by solving the above summation either by graphically or by direct summation we get .

3. The impulse response h (t) of an LTI system is given by e^-2t.u(t) . What is the step response?
a) y(t) = ¹⁄₂ (1 – e^-2t) u (t)
b) y(t) = ¹⁄₂ (1 – e^-2t)
c) y(t) = (1- e^-2t) u (t)
d) y(t) = ¹⁄₂ (e^-2t) u (t)
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Given x (t) = u (t) and h (t) = e^-2t.u(t). By using convolution integral

We get output y (t) as y(t) = ¹⁄₂ (1 – e^-2t) u (t).

4. Is (t)*h(t) = h(t)*x(t)?
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: By the properties of convolution we say that x(t)*h(t) = h(t)*x(t)
It can be proved using the convolution integral
.

5. Compute u (t) convolved with itself?
a) y(t)=t.u(t)
b) y(t)=u(t)
c) y(t)=t².u(t)
d) y(t)=t.u(t-1)
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: By taking x (t) = u (t) and h (t) = u (t) and substituting in the integral
On solving the given integral we get y (t) = t u (t).

6. Convolve the signals e^-2t u(t), e^-3t u(t). Determine the output?
a) y(t) = (e^-2t – e^-3t)u(t)
b) y(t) = (e^-2t – e^-3t)
c) y(t) = (e^-3t – e^-2t)u(t)
d) y(t) = (e^-t – e^-3t)u(t)
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: By solving the convolution integral
, we get output asy(t) = (e^-2t – e^-3t)u(t).

7. Convolve graphically.

a)
b)
c)
d)
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Step 1: sketch x (τ) and h (-τ)
Step 2: Obtain the product x (τ) h (t-τ) and the area under this product will give y (0)
Step 3: sketch h (1-τ) and compute y (1) and so on
Step 4: similarly sketch h (-1-τ) and compute y (-1) and so on.
Hence we get the output as .

8. Convolve graphically the below given signals, and determine the correct sequence?

a) Y (-1) = 0, y (1) = 2, y (3) = 2
b) Y (-1) = 2, y (1) = 2, y (3) = 2
c) Y (-1) = 0, y (1) = 0, y (3) = 2
d) Y (-1) = 0, y (1) = 3, y (3) = 2
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Step 1: sketch x (τ) and h (-τ)
Step 2: Obtain the product x (τ) h (t-τ) and the area under this product will give y (0)
Step 3: sketch h (1-τ) and compute y (1) and so on
Step 4: similarly sketch h (-1-τ) and compute y (-1) and so on.
By following above steps we get the output as
