DT LTI System

$ y[n] = x[n] + 2x[n-1] $

h[n]

$ h[n] = \delta [n] + 2 \delta [n-1] $

H(z)

$ H(z) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^{\infty}h[m] e^{-j \omega m} = \sum_{m=-\infty}^{\infty} (\delta [m] + 2 \delta [m-1]) e^{-j \omega m} = \sum_{m=-\infty}^{\infty} \delta [m] e^{-j \omega m} + \sum_{m=-\infty}^{\infty} 2 \delta [m-1] e^{-j \omega m} = 1 + 2 e^{-j \omega} $

Response to x[n]

Input $ x[n] $ is the following signal:

The Fourier series coefficients for $ x[n] $ are:

$ a_{0} = 1 $

$ a_{1} = -\frac{1}{2} $

$ a_{2} = 0 $

$ a_{3} = -\frac{1}{2} $

$ y[n] = \sum a_{k} H(e^{jk \omega_{o}}) e^{jk \omega_{o}n} = \sum_{k=0}^{3} a_{k} H(e^{jk \frac{\pi}{2}}) e^{jk \frac{\pi}{2}n} = \sum_{k=0}^{3} a_{k} (1 + 2 e^{-jk \frac{\pi}{2}}) e^{jk \frac{\pi}{2}n} = (1)(3)(1) + (-\frac{1}{2})(1-2j)e^{j \frac{\pi}{2} n} + 0 + (-\frac{1}{2})(1+2j)e^{j \frac{3 \pi}{2}n} $

$ y[n] = 3 + (-\frac{1}{2}+j)e^{j \frac{\pi}{2} n} + (-\frac{1}{2}-j)e^{j \frac{3 \pi}{2}n} $

The system response y[n] is shown below:
