Information
The exam is closed-book. There are eight questions totalling 80 marks. You must answer all of them. The last page of this exam paper contains an information sheet with standard Fourier transforms, transform properties, and some trigonometric identities. You have 2 hours.

(a) Assuming that the system is linear and time invariant, show that the impulse response is h(t) = u(t) u(t 1). (b) Is the system causal? Why? (c) Find and sketch the impulse response of the cascaded system below:
H H

3. A linear time-invariant system has an impulse response of h(t) = e2(t1) u(t 1). (a) Use time-domain convolution to nd and sketch the output y (t) when the input is x ( t ) = u( t ) . (b) Is the system causal? Why? (10 marks) 4. Consider a continuous-time LTI system described by dy (t) + 2 y ( t) = x ( t) , dt where x(t) is the input and y (t) is the output. Using the Fourier transform and assuming initial rest conditions, nd the output y (t) for each of the following input signals: (a) x(t) = e u(t), (b) x(t) = u(t). (10 marks) 5.
