Question 1 [2]
Consider the convolution 𝑦𝑦(𝑡𝑡) = 𝑥𝑥1(𝑡𝑡) ∗ 𝑥𝑥2(𝑡𝑡) where
𝑥𝑥1(𝑡𝑡) = �𝑡𝑡, 0 ≤ 𝑡𝑡 ≤ 1
0, otherwise 𝑥𝑥2(𝑡𝑡) = �1, 0 ≤ 𝑡𝑡 ≤ 2
0, otherwise
𝑦𝑦(𝑡𝑡) is a piecewise linear function. Find the number of non-zero piecewise regions in 𝑦𝑦(𝑡𝑡) (do not solve
for 𝑦𝑦(𝑡𝑡)).
Question 2 [2]
For the signal 𝑥𝑥(𝑡𝑡) = sin(2𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋) 𝑢𝑢(𝑡𝑡) find the even and odd components 𝑥𝑥𝑒𝑒(𝑡𝑡) and 𝑥𝑥𝑜𝑜(𝑡𝑡), respectively.
Question 3 [3]
For the system shown below find the following (‘D’ corresponds to a delay of one):
a) [2] the z-transform 𝐻𝐻(𝑧𝑧) and the region of convergence
b) [1] the impulse response ℎ[𝑛𝑛]

a) [2] Sketch the region of convergence corresponding to a stable system.
b) [2] Find ℎ[𝑛𝑛] for the region of convergence found in part (a).
c) [1] Classify ℎ[𝑛𝑛] as causal, anti-causal or non-causal.
Question 5 [5]
Determine if the following signals are periodic or aperiodic. If periodic, find the period.
a) 𝑥𝑥(𝑡𝑡) = 6 sin2(𝑡𝑡)
b) 𝑥𝑥(𝑡𝑡) = 𝑒𝑒−𝑡𝑡cos(2𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋)
c) 𝑥𝑥[𝑛𝑛] = cos �𝜋𝜋3 ⋅ 𝑛𝑛� + sin(𝜋𝜋4 ⋅ 𝑛𝑛)
d) 𝑥𝑥[𝑛𝑛] = cos(1

Question 6 [6]
A system samples input signals at a rate of 𝑇𝑇𝑠𝑠 = 2 seconds to produce a discrete time output signal.
Show using a sketch how this sampler maps the s-plane to the z-plane.
a) [3] Identify the region of the s-plane that is uniquely mapped to the z-plane.
b) [2] For 𝑠𝑠 = 𝜎𝜎 + 𝑗𝑗𝑗𝑗 identify the region 𝜎𝜎 > 0 and 𝑠𝑠 = 𝑗𝑗𝑗𝑗 in the z-plane.
c) [1] Describe in words what would change in the s-plane and / or z-plane if 𝑇𝑇𝑠𝑠 → 0
