Read Proakis and Salehi Text: Chapter 1, Chapter 2 sections 1-3.

1. Classify the following signals into even signals, odd signals and signals that are neither even
or odd. In the latter case, find the even and odd parts of the signal:

−2t t >0
e

(a) x1 (t) = −e 2t t <0

0 t =0

π
(b) x2 (t) = cos(200πt + )
6
(
t2 t ≥ 0
(c) x3 (t) =
0 t < 0.

2. Proakis and Salehi 2.11 part (2).

3. Plot the following signals:

(a) x1 = Π(t) + 2Π(−t)

t
(b) x2 (t) = 2Λ ( )Π(t)
2
(c) x3 (t) = sgn(t)(2Π(t − 1) + Π(t + 1)).

4. Proakis and Salehi 2.43 part (c).

5. Proakis and Salehi 2.46 parts (1) and (4).

6. Proakis and Salehi 2.47.

7. Let the impulse response of a linear time-invariant filter be given by

h(t) = e−at u(t) ∗ Π(t)

where ∗ denote the convolution operator and a > 0.

(a) Determine the impulse response h(t). Sketch your answer.

(b) Determine H( f ). Sketch the magnitude and phase of H( f ).

8. (EE 7370 Only) Proakis and Salehi 2.49 parts (a) and (d).
