FIRST

Write your name on the front page ONLY. DETACH the last TWO pages, which contain
a sets of formulas for your convenience.
00

Closed book, but one page (8 12 1100 ) of HAND-WRITTEN notes permitted. OK to write
on both sides.
Unless stated otherwise, justify your reasoning clearly to receive any partial credit.
You must write your answer in the space provided on the exam paper itself.
Only these answers will be graded. Circle your answers, or write them in the boxes provided.
If space is needed for scratch work, use the backs of previous pages.
Note that Problem 5 is on two pages the last part, part d, is on the second page of the
problem.

Problem Q2.1:
(a) (10 pts) Consider the initial value problem defined by this dierential equation and initial
condition:
d
y(t) =
dt

2y(t) + t,

y(0) = 5

Find the expression for Y (s), the Laplace transform of the solution of this initial value problem. Do not try to invert the Laplace transform to find the actual solution y(t) for t 0,
since that would require a partial fraction expansion, which we havent covered yet.

(b) (5 pts) Find the inverse Laplace transform of F (s) =

(s + 9)e 4s
.
(s + 9)2 + 25

(c) (5 pts) Perform the following integral by first noticing that its a convolution:
Z 1
sin(2000 ) sin(3000[t ])
d =

(t )
1

Problem Q2.2:
Consider a continuous-time LTI system with a frequency response given by
H(j!) =

5
.
5 + j!

(a) (10 pts) Find the output, y(t), of the system if the input is f (t) = 6 (t + 5).

(b) (10 pts) Find the output, y(t), of the system if the input is f (t) = 4 cos(5t

/3).

Problem Q2.3:
(a) (10 pts) Use your handy dandy Laplace transform tables to perform the following integral
without slogging through an integration by parts:
Z 1
sin(4t)e 3t dt =
0

(b) (10 pts) Find the Fourier transform of f (t) =

d
{e
dt

17(t+3)

step(t + 3)}.

Problem Q2.4:
(a) (10 pts) Suppose the Laplace transform of a function g(t) is given by
G(s) =

3(s + 5)(s + 10)

.
s(s + 8)(s + 3)

Find g(0).

Find limt!1 g(t).

(b) (10 pts) Suppose a periodic signal with Fourier series given by
f (t) =

1
X

k= 1

jk j1300kt
e
k4 + 7

is input to a continuous-time LTI system with a frequency response of

H(j!) = 24[step(! + 2500)

step(!

2500)]

Give an expression for the resulting output, y(t) in terms of real quantities (i.e. we dont
want to see complex exponentials in your answer)

Problem Q2.5:
Consider the cascade system below consisting of amplitude modulators and the LTI system H(j!):
w(t )

x(t )

The Fourier transform of the input, W (j!), and the frequency response of the LTI system (which
is an ideal LPF) are given below.

x(t) when the input is W (j!) shown above.

(b) (5 pts) Assume that !a = 200, !b = 300 and !c = 200. Make a sketch of the Fourier
transform of y(t) when the input is W (j!) shown above.

(c) (5 pts) Assume that !a = 500 and !b = 500. When the input is W (j!) shown above, find
the largest possible value of !c such that y(t) = 12 w(t).

(d) (5 pts) This part is unrelated to the parts on the previous page. The derivation of the
sampling theorem involves the operations of impulse train sampling and reconstruction as
shown in the following system:

Plot Xs (j!) for the value of !s = 2/Ts that is equal to the Nyquist rate, i.e., the lowest
possible sampling rate such that xr (t) = x(t).
