    1. (a) With the aid of a suitable diagram, illustrate the input-output inter-relationship between
    signals and systems. [4 Marks]

    (b) Signals δ (t−α ) , the Dirac delta function advanced by α ∈ R, and g ( t )=e cos πt enter

    2. (a) Briefly explain a LTI (Linear Time Invariant) system. [1 Mark]


    (b) Give one practical application of a LTI system. [1
    Mark]
    (c) With the aid of a suitable example, explain the procedures for testing whether or not a
    system is LTI.
    [4 Marks]
    (c) Consider a communication system that adds two signals: f ( t )=3 t +u(t) and g ( t )=tf (t),
    where u(t ) denotes the unit step function. Show whether or not the system is LTI. [4
    Marks]

    3. (a) In most engineering problems, signals should be converted from one domain into another.
    Briefly explain the importance of this process, and give two methods that can be used to
    accomplish the task. [4
    Marks]
    (b) An input signal f ( t ) enters a differential system that generates an output y (t ). The system
    processes f ( t ) according to the equation
