Show all work on the answer sheet.
Make sure that your University of Glasgow and UESTC Student Identification
Numbers are on all answer sheets.
An electronic calculator may be used provided that it does not allow text storage
or display, or graphical display.
All graphs should be clearly labelled and sufficiently large so that all elements
are easy to read.
The numbers in square brackets in the right-hand margin indicate the marks
allotted to the part of the question against which the mark is shown. These
marks are for guidance only.

Q1 Let x[n] be a periodic signal with fundamental period N 10 and
0, 8 n 9
Fourier series coefficients ak . Let x[ n] be the input of a discrete-time system
shown in Figure Q1, y[n ] is the corresponding output. The discrete-time
system is composed of two LTI sub-systems in parallel interconnection. The
unit impulse response signals of the two LTI sub-systems are also given in
Figure Q1 with h1[n] [n] and h2 [n] [n 1] .
(a) Determine the unit impulse response h[ n ] of this discrete-time system. [3]
(b) Determine whether this discrete-time system with the impulse response h[ n ] is
Stable, Causal, Linear, Time invariant, Invertible, Memoryless. Justify your
answers. [6]
(c) Plot the output y[n] of this discrete-time system. Is y[n] periodic? If yes,
determine its fundamental period. [6]
