Q#4 LTI Systems GATE EE 2025 (Set 1) MCQ +2 marks -0.66 marks

The continuous-time unit impulse signal is applied as an input to a continuous-time linear time-invariant system . The output is observed to be the continuous-time unit step signal . Which one of the following statements is true?

Every bounded input signal applied to  results in a bounded output signal.

It is possible to find a bounded input signal which when applied to  results in an unbounded output signal.

On applying any input signal to , the output signal is always bounded.

On applying any input signal to  the output signal is always unbounded.

Explanation:

Given

Since the unit impulse input produces output as u(t). Hence u(t) is the impulse response of the system.

For input  (bounded signal),

 

Any signal convolved with , gives its running integral,

Thus, every bounded signal does not produces every bounded o/p signal

h(t) = u(t) is not an absolutely integrable signal

Hence, the system is not BIBO stable so it can produce unbounded output for bounded input

Hence, option (b) is correct.

Q#5 LTI Systems GATE EE 2024 (Set 1) MCQ +1 mark -0.33 marks

Suppose signal  is obtained by the time-reversal of signal , i.e., . Which one of the following options is always true for the convolution of  and  ?

It is an even signal.

It is an odd signal.

It is a causal signal.

It is an anti-causal signal.

Explanation:

 

  

Since convolution is commutative in nature

   

 is even.

Q#6 LTI Systems GATE EE 2023 (Set 1) MCQ +1 mark -0.33 marks

Which of the following statement(s) is/are true?

If an LTI system is causal, it is stable.

A discrete time LTI system is causal if and only if its response to a step input  is 0 for .

If a discrete time  system has an impulse response  of finite duration the system is stable.

If the impulse response  for all , then the LTI system is stable.

Explanation:

(a) for a causal LTI system, h[n] = 0 ∀ n < 0 & for stability

∴ Causal LTI system may or may not be stable.

(b) for causal LTI system, h[n] = 0 ∀ n  < 0

Step response, s[n] = u[n] * h[n]

∴ both u[n] & h[n] = 0 ∀ n < 0

∴ S[n] = 0 ∀ n < 0

(c) if h[n] has finite duration, then system may or may not be stable

Has finite duration but h[n] is not absolutely summable ∴ system is unstable.

(d) if 0 < |h[n]| < 1 then system may be unstable because if signal has infinite duration then h[n] is not absolutely summable.

Q#7 LTI Systems GATE EE 2023 (Set 1) NAT +1 mark -0 marks

For the signals  shown in the figure,  is maximum at . Then  in seconds is __________ (Round off to the nearest integer).

Explanation:

For maximum value of convolution we must have maximum area under product of x(t - τ) & y(τ).

∴ (t – 1) must coincide with t = 3 so that entire positive area under y(t) coincide with x(t - τ)

∴ t – 1 = 3

t = 4

∴ z(t) = max occurs at t = 4
