Q

What is the step response of a system?

A

The output when input x(t)=u(t) (the step signal)

The step response is the output of a system when the input is a step function.

Q

What is the equivalent impulse response for two systems connected in parallel?

reduced system: h(t), sys 1: h1(t), sys 2: h2(t)

A

h(t) = h1(t)+h2(t)

This property states that convolution distributes over addition.

Q

Fill in the blank: The output of an LTI system can be expressed as (y(t) = h(t) * _______.

A

x(t)

This indicates that the output is derived from the convolution of the input signal with the impulse response.

Q

What is the significance of the impulse response (h(t)) in an LTI system?

A

It characterizes the system’s response to an impulse input

The impulse response is crucial for determining the output for any arbitrary input through convolution.

17
Q

True or false: An LTI system can have multiple impulse responses.

A

FALSE

An LTI system has a unique impulse response for a given system, which defines its behavior.

18
Q

In the equation (y(t) = h(t) ⁕ x(t)), what does the symbol ⁕ represent?

A

Convolution

Convolution is a mathematical operation used to express the output of an LTI system.

19
Q

What is the relationship between parallel connections of LTI systems?

A

The outputs of each system are summed

In parallel connections, each system processes the same input independently, and their outputs are combined.

20
Q

In the context of LTI systems, what does the term series connection imply?

A

The output of one system becomes the input to the next

In series connections, the systems are arranged such that the output of one feeds into the next.

21
Q

What is the time shift property in convolution?

A

This property indicates how shifting a signal in time affects its convolution with another signal.

22
Q

What is the duration property of convolution?

A

If x(t) has duration T1 and h(t) has duration T2, then y(t) has duration T1 + T2

The output signal’s duration is the sum of the durations of the convolved signals.

23
Q

What is the result of convolving a signal with an unshifted impulse?

A

y(t) = x(t)

Convolution with an impulse function reproduces the original signal.
