Module-3 System Classification and Analysis Objective: To Understand The Concept of Systems, Classification, Signal Transmission Through
Introduction:
A signal was defined as a mapping from a set of the independent variable (domain) to the
set of the dependent variable (co-domain). A system is also a mapping, but across signals, or
across mappings. That is, the domain set and the co-domain set for a system are both sets of
signals, and corresponding to each signal in the domain set, there exists a unique signal in the co-
domain set.
In signals and systems terminology, we say; corresponding to every possible input signal, a
system “produces” an output signal. In that sense, realize that a system, as a mapping is one step
hierarchically higher than a signal. While the correspondence for a signal is from one element of
one set to a unique element of another, the correspondence for a system is from one whole
mapping from a set of mappings to a unique mapping in another set of mappings.
Linear Shift-Invariant systems, called LSI systems for short, form a very important class
of practical systems, and hence are of interest to us. They are also referred to as Linear Time-
Invariant systems, in case the independent variable for the input and output signals is time.
Remember that linearity means that is y1(t) and y2(t) are responses of the system to signals x1(t)
and x2(t) respectively, then the response to ax1(t) + bx2(t) is ay1(t) + by2(t). Shift invariance
implies that the response of the system to x1(t - t0) is given by y1(t - t0) for all values of t and t0.
Linear systems are of interest to us for primarily two reasons: first, several real-life systems can
be well approximated by linear systems. Second, linear systems come with several properties
which make their analysis simple. Similarly, shift-invariant systems allow us to use simpler math
to analyze the system. As we proceed with our analysis, we will point out cases where some
results (which are rather intuitive) are valid for only LSI systems.
Description:
System: A system is defined as an entity that acts on an input signal and transforms it into an
output signal. A system may also be defined as a set of elements or functional blocks which are
connected together and produces an output in response to an input signal. There are various types
of systems: electrical systems, mechanical systems, biological systems, opto-electronic systems,
electromechanical systems and so on.
Classification of systems:
System Impulse
x(t) y(t)
response h(t)
Input Output
The relation between the input x(t) and the output y(t) of a system has the form
y(t)= operation on x(t)
Mathematically, y(t)=T[x(t)]
Continuous-time system
A continuous- time system is one wh8ich transforms continuous-time input signals into
continuous-time output signals.
y(t)=T[x(t)]
Amplifiers, filters, integrators and differentiators are the examples of continuous-time systems.
Discrete-time system
A discrete-time system is one which transforms discrete-time input signals into discrete-time
output signals.
y(n)=T[x(n)]
Microprocessors, semiconductor memories, shift registers, etc. are the examples of discrete-time
systems.
Illustration
Example: Find whether the following systems are dynamic or not:
(a) y(t)=x(t-3) (b) y(t)=x(2t)
d²x(t)
(c) y(t)= dt² +2x(t) (d) y(n)=x(n+2)
Solution:
(a) y(t)=x(t-3)
The output depends on past value of input. Therefore, the system is dynamic.
(b) y(t)=x(2t)
The output depends on future value of input. Therefore, the system is dynamic.
𝑑²𝑥(𝑡)
(c) y(t)= 𝑑𝑡² +2x(t)
The system is described by a differential equation. Therefore, the system is dynamic.
(d) y(n)=x(n+2)
The output depends on future value of input. Therefore, the system is dynamic.
Illustration
Example:
Check whether the following systems are causal or not
(a)y(t)=x2(t)+x(t-4) (b) y(t)=x(2-t)+x(t-4)
Solution
(a)y(t)=x2(t)+x(t-4)
For t=-2 y(-2)=x2(-2)+x(-6)
For t=0 y(0)=x2(0)+x(-4)
For t=2 y(2)=x2(2)+x(-2)
For all values of t, the output depends only on the present and past values of input. Therefore, the
system is causal.
(b) y(t)=x(2-t)+x(t-4)
For t=-1 y(-1)=x(3)+x(-5)
For t=0 y(0)=x(2)+x(-4)
For t=1 y(1)=x(1)+x(-3)
For some values of t, the output depends on the future input. Therefore, the system is noncausal.
Illustration
Example:
Check whether the following systems are linear or not
d²y(t) dy(t)
(a) dt² +2ty(t)=t2x(t) (b) 2 dt +5y(t)=x2(t)
Solution :
d²y(t)
(a) dt² +2ty(t)=t2x(t)
Let an input x1(t) produce an output y1(t).
d²y₁(t)
Then dt² +2ty₁(t)=t2x₁(t)
Let an input x₂(t) produce an output y₂(t).
d²y₂(t)
Then dt² +2ty₂(t)=t2x₂(t)
Linear combination of the above equations gives
d²y₁(t) d²y₂(t)
a dt² +a2ty₁(t)+𝑏 dt² +b2ty₂(t)=at2x₁(t)+b t2x₂(t)
d²
[ay₁(t)+by₂(t)]+2t[ay₁(t)+by₂(t)]=t2[ax₁(t)+bx₂(t)]
dt²
This shows that the weighted sum of inputs to the system produces an output which is
equal to the weighted sum of outputs to each of the individual inputs. Therefore the system is
linear.
dy(t)
(b) 2 dt +5y(t)=x2(t)
If an input x₁(t) produces an output y₁(t), then
dy₁(t)
2 dt +5y₁(t)=x₁2(t)
Similarly, if an input x₂(t) produces an output y₂(t), then
dy₂(t)
2 dt +5y₂(t)=x₂2(t)
The Linear combination of the above equations can be written as
dy₁(t) dy₂(t)
a2 dt +a5y₁(t)+b 2 dt +b5y₂(t)=ax₁2(t)+b x₂2(t)
d
2dt[a y₁(t)+b y₂(t)]+5[a y₁(t)+b y₂(t)]= ax₁2(t)+b x₂2(t)
This is not a function of weighted sum of inputs. Hence superposition principle is not
satisfied. Therefore, the system is non-linear.
If y(t,T)= y(t-T)
i.e. if the delayed output is equal to the output due to delayed input for all possible values of t,
then the system is time-invariant.
On the other hand, if y(t, T)≠y(t-T)
i.e. if the delayed output is not equal to the output due to delayed input, then the system is time-
variant.
Illustration
Example:
Determine whether the following systems are time-invariant or not:
(a) y(t)= t2x(t) (b)y(t)=е2x(t)
Solution:
(b)y(t)=е2x(t)
y(t) = T[x(t)] = е2x(t)
The output due to input delayed by T sec is
y(t, T) = T[x(t-T)] = 𝑦(𝑡)|x(t)=x(t-T) = е2x(t-T)
The output delayed by T sec is
y(t-T) = 𝑦(𝑡)|t=t-T = е2x(t-T)
y(t, T) = y(t-T)
i.e, the delayed output is equal to the output due to delayed input.
Therefore, the system is time-invariant.
Illustration
Example: Find whether the following systems are stable or not:
(a) y(t)= ex(t); ⎸x(t)⎹ ≤ 8 (b) y(t)= (t+5)u(t)
Solution:
(a) y(t)= ex(t); ⎸x(t)⎹ ≤ 8
Here the input is bounded, ⎸x(t)⎹ ≤ 8
Therefore for stability, the output must be bounded.
The output y(t) becomes
e-8 ≤ y(t) ≤ e8
Hence y(t) is also bounded. Therefore, the system is stable.
(b) y(t)= (t+5)u(t)
Therefore y(t)= t+5 for t≥0
So, as t→∞, y(t)→∞
Hence the output grows without any bound and hence the given system is unstable.
If a system has a unique relationship between its input x(t) [or x(n)] and output y(t) [or
y(n)], the system is known as invertible. Therefore, for an invertible system if y(t) [or y(n)] is
known, x(t) [or x(n)] can be found out unambiguously and uniquely. On the other hand, if the
system does not have a unique relationship between its input and output, the system is said to be
non-invertible.
In other words a system is known as invertible only if an inverse system exists which
when cascaded with the original system produces an output equal to the input of the first system.
For y(t)= 3x(t) [ or y(n)= 3x(n)], the system is said to be invertible, whereas for y(t)=
2x (t) [ or y(n)= 2x2(n)], the system is said to be non-invertible. Mathematically, a system is to
2
be invertible if
x(t) = T-1 {T[x(t)]}
or x(n) = T-1 {T[x(n)]}
Two systems with impulse response h1(t) and h2(t) connected in parallel can be replaced by a
single system with impulse response h1(t)+h2(t). The distributive property of convolution can be
used to break a complicated convolution into several simpler ones. Figure illustrates the
distributive property.

3. The associativet) property
Another important and useful property of convolution is that it is associative. That is
x(t)*[h1(t)*h2(t)] = [x(t)*h1(t)]*h2(t)
i.e. it is immaterial in which order the signals are convolved.
According to the associative property, the series interconnection of two systems is equivalent to
a single system. Figure illustrates the associative property.
5. Causality
A causal system is non anticipatory and does not produce an output before an input is applied. Its
output depends only on the present and past values of input but not on future inputs.
Therefore for a causal LTI system we have h(t)=0 for t˂0.
The output of a causal LTI system for a noncausal input is
∞ 𝑡
y(t)= ∫0 ℎ(𝜏)𝑥(𝑡 − 𝜏)𝑑𝜏 = ∫−∞ 𝑥(𝜏)ℎ(𝑡 − 𝜏)𝑑𝜏
The output of a causal LTI system for a causal signal is
𝑡 𝑡
y(t)= ∫0 ℎ(𝜏)𝑥(𝑡 − 𝜏)𝑑𝜏 = ∫0 𝑥(𝜏)ℎ(𝑡 − 𝜏)𝑑𝜏
A noncausal system is anticipatory and h(t)≠0 for t˂0
6. Stability
A system is stable if every bounded input produces a bounded output. The BIBO stability of an
LTI system can be easily determined from its impulse response. For a continuous-time LTI
system to be BIBO stable, its impulse response h(t) must be absolutely intergrable.

7. Invertibility
A continuous-time LTI system with impulse response h(t) is said to be invertible, if an inverse
system with impulse response h1(t) which when connected in series with the original system
produces an output equal to the input of the first system
i.e. h(t)*h1(t) = δ(t)
Figure illustrates Invertibility of system
We know that the output y(t) is the convolution of input x(t) and impulse response h(t).

Filter Characteristics of linear systems:
For a given system an input signal x(t) gives rise to a response signal y(t).
The system processes the signal x(t) in a way that is characteristic of the system. The spectral
density function of the input signal x(t) is given by X(s) or X(ω), and the spectral density
function of the response signal y(t) is given by Y(s) or Y(ω). Y(s)=H(s)X(s) or Y(ω)=H(ω)X(ω)
where H(s) or H(ω) is the transfer function or system function of the system.
The system modifies the spectral density function of the input. The system
acts as a kind of filter for various frequency components. Some frequency components are
boosted in strength, i.e. they are amplified. some frequency components are weakened in
strength, i.e. they are attenuated and some may remain unaffected. Similarly, each frequency
component suffers a different amount of phase shift in the process of transmission. The system,
therefore, modifies the spectral density function of the input according to its filter characteristics.
The modification is carried out according to the transfer function H(s) or H(ω), which represents
the response of the system to various frequency components. H(ω) acts as a weighting function
or spectral shaping function to the different frequency components in the input signal. An LTI
system, acts as a filter. A filter is a basically a frequency selective network.
(i) Some LTI systems allow the transmission of only low frequency components and
stop all high frequency components. They are called low – pass filters (LPFs).
(ii) Some LTI systems allow the transmission of only high frequency components and
stop all low frequency components. They are called high – pass filters (HPFs).
(iii) Some LTI systems allow the transmission of only a particular band of frequencies and
stop all other frequency components. They are called band pass filters (BPFs).
(iv) Some LTI systems reject the transmission of only a particular band of frequencies and
allow all other frequency components. They are called band-rejection filters (BRFs).
But, in practice, no system can have infinite bandwidth and hence distortion less conditions are
never met exactly.
For distortion less transmission, there should not be any phase distortion. No phase
distortion means the phase should be linear. Therefore, for distortion less transmission, the
system must be of linear phase type. For linear phase systems, the impulse response is
symmetrical about t=td. This can be proved as follows:
For linear phase system,
H(ω)=⎸H(ω)⎹ e-jωtd
The impulse response of such a system is obtained by finding the inverse Fourier transform.
h (t)= F-1[H(ω)]

This shows that for a linear phase system, the impulse response h(t) is symmetrical about t d , and
it is non-coaxial. The maximum value of h(t) is at t=td and is given by
1 ∞
hmax = h(td)= 𝜋 ∫0 |𝐻(𝜔)|𝑑𝜔
Signal Bandwidth:
The spectral components of a signal extend from -∞ 𝑡𝑜∞. Any practical signal has
finite energy. As a result, the spectral components approach zero as ω tends to ∞. Therefore, we
neglect the spectral components which have negligible energy and select only a band of
frequency components which have most of the signal energy is known as the bandwidth of the
signal. Normally, the band is selected such that it contains 95% of total energy depending on the
precision.
Illustration
Example: There are several possible ways of estimating an essential bandwidth of non-band
limited signal. For a low pass signal , for example , the essential band width may be chosen as a
frequency where the amplitude spectrum of the signal decays to K% of its peak value. The
choice of K depends on the nature of application. Choosing K=5, determine the essential
bandwidth of g(t)= e-atu(t).

System Bandwidth:
For distortion less transmission, we need a system with infinite bandwidth. Due to
physical limitations, it is impossible to construct a system with infinite bandwidth. Actually a
satisfactory distortion less transmission can be achieved by a system with finite, but fairly large
band widths , if the magnitude ⎹H(ω)⎸is constant over this band.
The constancy of the magnitude⎹ H(ω)⎸ in a system is usually
specified by its bandwidth. The bandwidth of a system is defined as the range of frequencies
over which the magnitude ⎹ H(ω)⎸ remain within 1/√2 times (within 3 dB) of its value at mid
band . The bandwidth of a system ⎹ H(ω)⎸plot is shown in below figure is(ω2-ω1) where ω2 is
called the upper cut off frequency or upper 3 dB frequency or upper half power frequency and ω 1
is called lower cut off frequency or lower 3dB frequency or lower half frequency.
The band limited signals can be transmitted without distortion , if the system bandwidth is at
least equal to the signal bandwidth.
Solution:

(a) +2 +4 +3y²(t)=x(t+1)
dt³ dt² dt
1. The system is described by a differential equation. Hence the system is dynamic.
2. There is a square term of output. So the system is non-linear. This can be proved.
Let an input x₁(t) produce an output y₁(t). so the differential equation becomes
d³y₁(t) d²y₁(t) dy₁(t)
+2 +4 +3y₁²(t)=x₁(t+1)
dt³ dt² dt
Let an input x₂(t) produce an output y₂(t). so the differential equation becomes
d³y₂(t) d²y₂(t) dy₂(t)
+2 +4 +3y₂²(t)=x₂(t+1)
dt³ dt² dt
The linear combination of the above equations becomes
d³y₁(t) d²y₁(t) dy₁(t) d³y₂(t) d²y₂(t) dy₂(t)
a +a2 +a4 +3ay₁²(t)+b +b2 +b4 +b3y₂²(t)
dt³ dt² dt dt³ dt² dt

i.e. [ay₁(t)+by₂(t)]+2 [ay₁(t)+by₂(t)]+ 4 [ay₁(t)+by₂(t)]+3[ay₁²(t)+by₂²(t)]
dt³ dt² dt
= ax₁(t+1)+bx₂(t+1)
Since one term in LHS is not a weighted sum of outputs, the superposition principle is not
valid. Hence the system is non-linear.
3. The output depends on future values of input. Hence the system is non-causal.
4. All the coefficients of the differential equation are constant. Hence the system is time-
invariant.
So the given system is dynamic, non-linear, non-causal and time- invariant.
Example 2 Comment about the linearity, stability, time-invariance and causality for the
following filter: y(n)=2x(n+1)+[x(n-1)]2
Solution: y(t)=at²x(t)+btx(t-4)
1. there is a square term of delayed input in [i.e., x(n-1)2] the difference equation. So the
system is nonlinear.
2. The output depends on the future value of input [i.e., 2x(n+1)]. So the system is non-
causal.
3. For x(n)=δ(n), y(n)=h(n)
Therefore h(n)= 2δ(n+1)+{δ(n-1)}2
h(0)= 2δ(1)+{δ(-1)}2=0+0=0
h(1)= 2δ(2)+{δ(0)}2=0+1=1
h(-1)= 2δ(0)+{δ(-2)}2=2+0=2
h(-2)= 2δ(-1)+{δ(-3)}2=0+0=0
h(n)=0, for any other n
∑∞𝑛=−∞ ⎹ℎ(𝑛)⎸=0+1+2+0+0+….=3 < ∞
Impulse response is absolutely summable. So the system is stable. Also we can say that
since the output depends only on the delayed and advanced inputs, if the input is
bounded, the output is bounded. So the system is BIBO stable.
4. The output due to delayed input is given by
y(n,k)= 2x(n+1-k)+{x(n-1-k)}2
the delayed output is
y(n-k)= 2x(n-1+k)+{x(n-k-1)}2
y(n,k)= y(n-k)
Therefore, the system is time-invariant.
Also, we can say that since the system is described by constant coefficient difference equation,
the system is time-invariant. So the given system is non-linear, stable, time-invariant and non-
causal.
Example 3 State whether the following system is linear, causal, time-invariant and stable:
y(n)+y(n-1)=x(n)+x(n-2)
Solution:
y(n)+y(n-1)=x(n)+x(n-2)
1. Let an input x₁(n) produce an output y₁(n) and an input x₂(n) produce an output y₂(n).
Therefore, the weighted sum of outputs is:
ay₁(n)+by₂(n) = -[ay₁(n-1)+by₂(n-1)]+[ax₁(n)+bx₂(n)]+[ax₁(n-2)+bx₂(n-2)]
The output due to weighted sum of inputs is:
y₃(n)= -{ay₁(n-1)+by₂(n-1)}+{ax₁(n)+bx₂(n)}+{ax₁(n-2)+bx₂(n-2)}
y₃(n)= ay₁(n)+by₂(n)
so the system is linear
2. The output depends only on the present and past inputs and past outputs. So the system is
causal.
3. All the coefficients of the differential equation are constants. So the system is time-
invariant.
4. For x(n)=δ(n), y(n)=h(n)
h(n)= -h(n-1)+δ(n)+δ(n-2)
h(0)= -h(-1)+δ(0)+δ(-2) = 1
h(1)= -h(0)+δ(1)+δ(-1) = -1
h(2)= -h(1)+δ(2)+δ(0) = 1+0+1 = 2
h(3)= -h(2)+δ(3)+δ(1) = -2+0+0 = -2
∑∞
𝑛=−∞ ⎹ℎ(𝑛)⎸=1+1+2+2+…. = ∞
i.e., the impulse response is not absolutely summable. So the system is unstable.
Therefore, the given system is non-linear, causal, time-variant and unstable.
Example 4 Determine whether the following system is linear, stable, causal and time-invariant
using appropriate tests:
y(n)= nx(n)+x(n+2)+y(n-2)
Solution:
y(n)= nx(n)+x(n+2)+y(n-2)
1. Let an input x1(n) produce an output y₁(n) and an input x₂(n) produce an output y₂(n).
Then the weighted sum of outputs is:
ay₁(n)+by₂(n)= n[ax₁(n)+bx₂(n)]+[ax₁(n+2)+bx₂(n+2)]+[ay₁(n-2)+by₂(n-2)]
The output due to weighted sum of inputs is:
y₃(n)= ay₁(n)+by₂(n)= n[ax₁(n)+bx₂(n)]+[ax₁(n+2)+bx₂(n+2)]+[ay₁(n-2)+by₂(n-2)]
so the system is linear.
2. For x(n)=δ(n), y(n)=h(n)
h(n)= nδ(n)+δ(n+2)+h(n-2)
h(-2)= -2δ(-2)+δ(0)+h(-4)=1
h(0)= 0δ(0)+δ(2)+h(-2)= 0+0+1= 1
h(1)= 1δ(1)+δ(3)+h(-1)=0
h(2)= 2δ(2)+δ(4)+h(0)= 1
∑∞𝑛=−∞ ⎹ℎ(𝑛)⎸= 1+0+1+0+….. = ∞
So the system is unstable.
3. y(2)= 2x(2)_x(4)+y(0)
The output depends on future inputs. So the system is non-causal.
4. The coefficient of x(n) is a function of time. So it is a time-varying system.
Therefore, the given system is linear, unstable, noncausal and time-varying.
Example:7
Find the transfer function of the Lattice network shown in fig
Solution:
The given circuit diagram is shown in figure (a). The potential across points A
and B is similar to the potential across points C and D. Also the potential across point A and D is
similar to potential across the points B and C. Therefore , The given circuit diagram can be
rearranged as shown in figure (b).
Let i1(t) and i2(t) be the loop currents in figure (b) . The loop equation around loop 1 is:
𝑑𝑖1 (𝑡) 1 𝑑𝑖1 (𝑡)
𝑣i(t)=(1) 𝑑𝑡 + (1) ∫[i1(t) − i2(t)]dt +(1) 𝑑𝑡
Taking Laplace transform on both sides, and neglecting the initial conditions, we have
1
Vi(s)=sI1(s) + 𝑠 [I1(s)-I2(s)] + sI1(s)
1 1
= [2s+𝑠 ] I1(s)- 𝑠 I2(s)
The loop equation around loop 2 is:
1
(1)i2(t)+ (1) ∫[i1(t) − i2(t)]dt =0
Taking Laplace transform on both sides, we have
1
I2(s) + 𝑠 [I2(s)-I1(s)]=0
1 1
[1+𝑠 ] I2(s)- 𝑠 I1(s)=0
I1(s) = (s+1)I2(s)
The output voltage o(t) is given by
𝑣o(t)=i2(t)(1)
Taking Laplace transform on both sides, we get
Vo(s) I2(s)
Substituting this value of I2(s) in the equation for I1(s), we get
I1(s) = (s+1)Vo(s)
1 1
Vi(s)= [2s+𝑠 ] [(s+1)Vo(s) ]- 𝑠 Vo(s)
1 1
=[(2s+𝑠 )(s+1)]- 𝑠 ]Vo(s)
1 1
=Vo(s)(2s2+2s+1+ - )
𝑠 𝑠
= Vo(s)(2s2+2s+1)
Vo(s) 1
=
Vi(s) 2s2+2s+1
So the transfer function of the system
Vo(s) 1
H(s) = Vi(s) = 2s2+2s+1
Example 8:
Consider the filter circuit show in bellow figure:
Solution:
The given RLC circuit of the above figure is shown in bellow figure for t>0,i.e.
after the switch is closed.
Since the given switch is closed at t=0,for t<0, it was open and so the initial
current through the inductor and the initial voltage across the capacitor are zero, i.e. the initial
conditions are zero.
The loop equation around the single loop in the circuit is:
𝑑𝑖(𝑡) 1
100 = 2i(t) = (1) 𝑑𝑡 + 0.2 ∫ 𝑖(𝑡)𝑑𝑡
Taking Laplace transform on both sides, and neglecting initial conditions, we get
100 1 I(s)
= 2I(s) + sI(s) +
s 0.2 s

=I(s)(2+s+ )

=I(s)( )

I(s)[ 𝑠 + 2𝑠 + 5]=100
100 100
I(s) = =
s2 +2s+5 (s+1)2 +22
Taking inverse Laplace transform on both sides, we get
100 2
i(t) = L-1[
(s+1)2 +22
] = 50 L-1[(s+1)2 ]
+22
-t
= 50 e sin 2t (t)
So the current in the RLC circuit for t.0 is i(t)= 50 e-t sin 2t 𝑢(t).
y(t) =e𝑣en{x(t)}
= ½ [x(t)+x(-t)]
i) For positive values of t, the output depends on past values of input and for negative
values of t, the output depends on future values of input. Hence the system is dynamic.
ii) y(t)= T[x(t)] = ½ [x(t)+x(-t)]
For an input x₁(t), y₁(t)= = ½ [x₁(t)+x₁(-t)]
For an input x₁(t), y₂(t)= = ½ [x₂(t)+x₂(-t)]
The weighted sum of outputs is :
ay₁(t)+by₂(t) =a½ [x₁(t)+x₁(-t)]+b½ [x₂(t)+x₂(-t)]
=1/2{[ax₁(t)+bx₂(t)]+[ax₁(-t)+bx₂(-t)]}
The output due to weighted sum of inputs is:
y₃(t)= T[ax₁(t)+bx₂(t)] =1/2{[ax₁(t)+bx₂(t)]+[ax₁(-t)+bx₂(-t)]}
y₃(t) = ay₁(t)+by₂(t)
The weighted sum of outputs is equal to the output due to weighted sum of inputs. Hence
superposition principle is valid and the system is linear.
