Signals and Systems

  1. The system described by the difference equation y(n) – 2y(n – 1) + y(n – 2) = x(n) – x(n – 1) has y(n) = 0 and n < 0. If x(n) = δ(n) then y(2) will be—
    1. 2
    2. 1
    3. 0
    4. – 1
Correct Option: C

Given equation is
y(n) – 2y(n – 1) + y(n – 2) = x(n) – x(n – 1)
Taking z-transform on both side
Y(z) – 2Y(z).z–1 + Y(z).z–2 = X(z) – X(z).z–1
or

Y(z)
=
1 – z–1
=
1 – z–1
X(z)1 – 2z–1 + z–2(1 – z – 1)2

or
H(z) =
1
1 – z–1

or
h(n) = 1.u(n)
Now, y(n) = h(n).x(n)
y(n) = 1.u(n).δ(n)
y(2) = 0
Hence, alternative (C) is the correct choice.
