  1. A square wave is defined by
    x(t) =
    A; 0 < t < T0/2
    – A; T0/2 < t < T0

    It is periodically extended outside this interval. What is the general coefficient an in the Fourier expansion of the wave?

    Given that

    x(t) =
    A; 0 < t < T0/2
    – A; T0/2 < t < T0

    where T0 is the fundamental period. If we plot this periodic square wave.

    From the wave, it is clear that wave is an odd function, therefore an = 0.
    Hence, alternative (A) is the correct choice.

    Correct Option: A

    A; 0 < t < T0/2
    – A; T0/2 < t < T0

  1. (i) y[n] = x[2 – n] is non-causal
    (ii) y[n] = x[n] cos ω0 is causal
    (iii) y[n] = sgn [x(n)] is non-causal
    Which of the above statement is false?

    (i) y[n] = x[2 – n] is non causal for any negative value of n.
    (ii) y[n] = x[n] cos ω0n is causal for any value of n.
    (iii) y[n] = sgn [x(n)] is causal for any value of n.
    Hence, alternative (C) is the correct choice.

    Correct Option: C

    (i) y[n] = x[2 – n] is non causal for any negative value of n.
    (ii) y[n] = x[n] cos ω0n is causal for any value of n.
    (iii) y[n] = sgn [x(n)] is causal for any value of n.
    Hence, alternative (C) is the correct choice.



  1. The Fourier series expansion of a real periodic signal with fundamental frequency f 0 is given by
    n = ∞
    gP(t) =
    Cn.ej2πnf0t
    n = – ∞

    If function is real (as given), then
    x(t) = x*(t)
    or x[t] = ak = a*– k
    So, c– 3 = c3* = 3 – j5
    Hence, alternative (D) is the correct choice.

    Correct Option: D

    If function is real (as given), then
    x(t) = x*(t)
    or x[t] = ak = a*– k
    So, c– 3 = c3* = 3 – j5
    Hence, alternative (D) is the correct choice.


  1. For the signal x1(t) = e– k1t u(t) and x2(t) = e– k2 u(t). their convolution will be—

    Given -
    x1(t) = ek1t u(t)
    x2(t) = e–k2t u(t)
    x(t) = x1(t)* x2(t) = x1(s).x2(s)

    x1(s) =
    1
    s – k1

    x2(s) =
    1
    s – k2

    x1(s).x2(s) =
    1
    = x(s)
    (s – k1) (s + k2)

    By using partial fraction
    x(s) =
    A
    +
    B
    (s – k1)(s + k2)

    x(s) =
    As + Ak2 + Bs – Bk2
    (s – k1) (s + k2)

    A + B = 0 or A = – B …(i)
    Ak2 – Bk1 = 1 …(ii)
    From equations (i) and (ii), we get
    or
    Ak2 + Ak1 = 1
    or
    A =
    1
    k1 + k2

    and
    B =
    - 1
    k1 + k2

    Now,
    x(s) =
    1
    1
    -
    1
    k1 + k2s – k1s + k1

    By taking inverse Laplace transform
    x(t) =
    1
    [ek1t– e– k2t]
    k1 + k2

    Hence, alternative (A) is the correct choice.

    Correct Option: B

    Given -
    x1(t) = ek1t u(t)
    x2(t) = e–k2t u(t)
    x(t) = x1(t)* x2(t) = x1(s).x2(s)

    x1(s) =
    1
    s – k1

    x2(s) =
    1
    s – k2

    x1(s).x2(s) =
    1
    = x(s)
    (s – k1) (s + k2)

    By using partial fraction
    x(s) =
    A
    +
    B
    (s – k1)(s + k2)

    x(s) =
    As + Ak2 + Bs – Bk2
    (s – k1) (s + k2)

    A + B = 0 or A = – B …(i)
    Ak2 – Bk1 = 1 …(ii)
    From equations (i) and (ii), we get
    or
    Ak2 + Ak1 = 1
    or
    A =
    1
    k1 + k2

    and
    B =
    - 1
    k1 + k2

    Now,
    x(s) =
    1
    1
    -
    1
    k1 + k2s – k1s + k1

    By taking inverse Laplace transform
    x(t) =
    1
    [ek1t– e– k2t]
    k1 + k2

    Hence, alternative (A) is the correct choice.
