Signals and systems electrical engineering miscellaneous

  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. zero
    4. – 1
Correct Option: C

Y(n) – 2y(n – 1) + y(n – 2) = x(n) – x(n – 1)
For n = 0,
y(0) – 2y(– 1) + y(– 2) = x(0) – x(– 1)
∴ y(0) = x(0) – x(– 1)
∴ y(n) = 0 for n < 0
For n = 1,
y(1) = – 2y(0) + y(– 1) = x(1) – x(0)
∴ y(1) = x(1) – x(0) + 2x(0) – 2x(– 1)
= x(1) + x(0) – 2x(– 1)
For n = 2,
y(2) = x(2) – x(1) + 2y(1) – y(0)
= x(2) – x(1) + 2x(1) + 2x(0) – 4x(– 1) – x(0) + x(– 1)
= x(2) + x(1) + x(0) – 3x(– 1)
= d(2) + d(1) + d(0) – 3d(– 1)
