Q25: Given the finite length input x[n] and the corresponding finite length output y[n] of an LTI system as shown below, the impulse response h[n] of the system is     (2010)
Previous Year Questions- Linear Time Invariant Systems - 2 | Signals and Systems - Electrical Engineering (EE)(a) h[n] = {1, 0, 0, 1}
(b) h[n] = {1, 0, 1}
(c) h[n] = {1, 1, 1, 1}
(d) h[n] = {1, 1, 1}
Ans:
(c)
Sol: x[n] = { 1, -1}, M = 2
y[n] = {1, 0, 0, 0, -1},  N1 = 5
Since, output hasnumber of elements

Q26: The system represented by the input-output relationship Previous Year Questions- Linear Time Invariant Systems - 2 | Signals and Systems - Electrical Engineering (EE)     (2010)
(a) Linear and causal
(b) Linear but not causal
(c) Causal but not linear
(d) Neither liner nor causal
Ans:
(b)
Sol: Integrator is always a linear system.
Previous Year Questions- Linear Time Invariant Systems - 2 | Signals and Systems - Electrical Engineering (EE)Previous Year Questions- Linear Time Invariant Systems - 2 | Signals and Systems - Electrical Engineering (EE)here value at t = 1 depends on future values like at t = 2, 3,... of input x(t).
So, it is a noncausal systems.

Q27: A cascade of three Linear Time Invariant systems is causal and unstable. From this, we conclude that      (2009)
(a) each system in the cascade is individually causal and unstable
(b) at least on system is unstable and at least one system is causal
(c) at least one system is causal and all systems are unstable
(d) the majority are unstable and the majority are causal
Ans:
(b)
Sol: Since in cascade overall impulse response
h(t) = h1(t)∗h2(t)∗h3(t)
h1(t), h2(t), h3(t) are impulse response of individual systems.
Since, initial point where h(t) is nonzero is t ≥ 0 and since in convolution initial point
 = t1 + t2 + t3
where, t1, t2, t3 are initial point of h1(t), h2(t), h3(t) respectively.
So for it to be greater than or equal to zero at least one of them t1, tor t3 must be +ve i.e. greater than zero so atleast one of them must be causal. Similarly if one (atleast) of the system become unstable then overall system will become unstable.

Q28: A Linear Time Invariant system with an impulse response h(t) produces output y(t) when input x(t) is applied. When the input x(t - τ) is applied to a system with impulse response h(t - τ), the output will be       (2009)
(a) y(t)
(b) y(2(t - τ))

Q29: A system with x(t) and output y(t) is defined by the input-output relation :
Previous Year Questions- Linear Time Invariant Systems - 2 | Signals and Systems - Electrical Engineering (EE)The system will be      (2008)
(a) Casual, time-invariant and unstable
(b) Casual, time-invariant and stable
(c) non-casual, time-invariant and unstable
(d) non-casual, time-variant and unstable
Ans: 
(d)
Sol: First of all we will check for causality,
Previous Year Questions- Linear Time Invariant Systems - 2 | Signals and Systems - Electrical Engineering (EE)So, output depends on future values of input along with past and present values of input, so system is non-casual.
Let us find output for shifted input x(t − t0)
Previous Year Questions- Linear Time Invariant Systems - 2 | Signals and Systems - Electrical Engineering (EE)Now, shift the output by t0
then,  
Previous Year Questions- Linear Time Invariant Systems - 2 | Signals and Systems - Electrical Engineering (EE)so from eq. (i) and (ii),
Previous Year Questions- Linear Time Invariant Systems - 2 | Signals and Systems - Electrical Engineering (EE)Therefore system is time varient.
Non-causal and time variant is present only in option (D).

Q30: The impulse response of a causal linear time-invariant system is given as h(t). Now consider the following two statements :
Statement (I): Principle of superposition holds
Statement (II): h(t) = 0 for t < 0
Which one of the following statements is correct ?       (2008)
(a) Statements (I) is correct and statement (II) is wrong
(b) Statements (II) is correct and statement (I) is wrong
(c) Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are wrong
(d) Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are correct
Ans:
(d)
Sol: Since, system is casual therefore its impulse response will be zero for t < 0.
So, statement-II is correct.
Since, system is linear, it also satisfies the principle of superposition.
So, both the statements are correct.

Q31: A signal e−αtsin(ωt) is the input to a real Linear Time Invariant system. Given K and ϕ are constants, the output of the system will be of the form Ke−βt sin(vt + ϕ) where       (2008)

(b) v need not be equal to ω but β equal to α
(c) β equal to α and v equal to ω
(d) β need not be equal to α and v need not be equal to ω
Ans:
(c)

Q33: Let a signal a1sin(ω1t + ϕ1) be applied to a stable linear time invariant system. Let the corresponding steady state output be represented as a2F(ω2t + ϕ2). Then which of the following statement is true?      (2007)
(a) F is not necessarily a "Sine" or "Cosine" function but must be periodic with ω= ω2 
(b) F must be a "Sine" or "Cosine" function with a1 = a2
(c) F must be a "Sine" function with ω= ω2 and ϕ1 = ϕ2
(d) F must be a "Sine" or "Cosine" function with ω1 = ω2 
Ans: 
(d)
Sol: Previous Year Questions- Linear Time Invariant Systems - 2 | Signals and Systems - Electrical Engineering (EE)The effect of linear time invariant systems is best understtod by considering that, at any given input frequency ω1, the output is sinusoidal at same frequency, as the input applied, with amplitude given by output = |H| x input and phase equal to ϕ2 = ϕH + ϕ1, where |H| is the magnitude to the frequency response and ϕH is its phase angle. Both |H| and ϕH are functions of frequency.

Q34: y[n] denotes the output and x[n] denotes the input of a discrete-time system given by the difference equation y[n] - 0.8y[n-1] = x[n]+1.25x[n+1]. Its right-sided impulse response is       (2006)
(a) causal
(b) unbounded
(c) periodic
(d) non-negative
Ans: 
(d)
Sol: From the given difference equation
Previous Year Questions- Linear Time Invariant Systems - 2 | Signals and Systems - Electrical Engineering (EE)For right sided impulse response, h(n) the ROC is ∣Z∣ > 0.8
h[n] = (0.8)nu[n] + 1.25(0.8)+ 1u[n + 1].
h[n] has positive value for any n,
h[n] is non-negative.
It can be verified that h[n] is non-causal, bounded and not periodic
As h(−1) = 1.25, h[n] is non-causal
h[n] ≤ M, M < ∞; h[n] is bounded .
h[n] is not periodic as it is a monotonically decaying sequence.

Q35: x[n] = 0; n < −1, n > 0, 𝑥[−1] = −1, x[0] = 2 is the input and
y[n] = 0; n < −1, n > 2, 𝑦[−1] = −1 = 𝑦[1], 𝑦[0] = 3, 𝑦[2] = −2
is the output of a discrete-time LTI system. The system impulse response h[n] will be     (2006)
(a) [𝑛]=0;𝑛<0,𝑛>2[𝑛]=0;𝑛<0,𝑛>2h[n] = 0; n < 0, n > 2,  h[0] = 1, h[1] = h[2] = −1
(b) h[n] = 0; n < −1, n > 1, h[−1] = 1, h[0] = h[1] = 2
(c) [𝑛]=0;𝑛<0,𝑛>3h[n] = 0; n < 0, n > 3,  h[0] = −1, h[1] = 2, h[2] = 1
(d) h[n] = 0; n < −2, n > 1,  h[−2] = h[1] = h[−1] = −h[0] = 3
Ans: 
(a)
Sol: For finite duration convolution,
x[n] have M terms
h[n] have N terms
then y[n] should have terms (M+N+1)
Here, x[n] = {-1, 2}
y[n] = {-1, 3, -1, -2}
So, h[n] should have only 3 terms and h[n] have value starting from origin or [n = 0] only because y[n] have value start from [n = -1]
Previous Year Questions- Linear Time Invariant Systems - 2 | Signals and Systems - Electrical Engineering (EE)y[n] = {-1, 3, -1, -2}.

FAQs on Previous Year Questions- Linear Time Invariant Systems - 2 - Signals and Systems - Electrical Engineering (EE)

1. What is a linear time-invariant system in electrical engineering?
Ans. A linear time-invariant system in electrical engineering is a system that satisfies both the linearity and time-invariance properties. Linearity means the system follows the principle of superposition, while time-invariance means the system's response does not change with a shift in time.
2. How can we determine if a system is linear or time-invariant?
Ans. To determine if a system is linear, we can check if it satisfies the properties of additivity and homogeneity. To check for time-invariance, we can see if the system's response remains the same even when the input signal is shifted in time.
3. What are the advantages of linear time-invariant systems in electrical engineering?
Ans. Linear time-invariant systems are mathematically easier to analyze and design compared to non-linear or time-varying systems. They allow for the use of powerful tools such as Fourier analysis and Laplace transforms for system analysis.
4. Can a linear time-invariant system exhibit non-linear behavior?
Ans. Although a linear time-invariant system follows the principles of linearity and time-invariance, it can still exhibit non-linear behavior if the input signal exceeds the system's linear range or if the system encounters saturation or non-linear distortion.
5. How are linear time-invariant systems used in practical applications in electrical engineering?
Ans. Linear time-invariant systems are commonly used in signal processing, control systems, communication systems, and circuit analysis. They play a crucial role in filtering signals, amplifying signals, and ensuring system stability and performance.
