Define a CT, LTI System

One possible CT, LTI system would be

$ y(t) = 3x(t-2) \! $

Unit Impulse Response

The unit impulse response of the system is found by substituting $ \delta(t) $ for $ x(t) $. So, for the system

$ y(t) = 3x(t-2) \! $

$ h(t) = 3\delta(t-2) \! $

System Function

The system function is defined as

$ H(j\omega)=\int_{-\infty}^\infty h(\tau)e^{-j\omega\tau}d\tau $

Using the sifting property, we can easily find that our system function is defined as

$ H(j\omega)=e^{-2j\omega} \! $

Signal Response

Now we need to find the LTI system above's response to my signal from section 4.1. The response can be found with the equation

$ y(t) = H(j\omega)x(t) \! $

Using my signal from section 4.1

$ x(t) = 3cos(2t) = \frac{3}{2}e^{j2t}+\frac{3}{2}e^{-j2t} $

we can multiply each term by $ H(j\omega) $ to get

$ y(t) = e^{-j4}(\frac{3}{2}e^{j2t}) + e^{j4}(\frac{3}{2}e^{-j2t}) $

Simplifying this gives us

$ y(t) = \frac{3}{2}e^{j2(t-2)} + \frac{3}{2}e^{-j2(t-2)} \! $
