Solution to Q3 of Week 9 Quiz Pool


y[n] = x[n] + 2x[n-1] + 0.5y[n-1]

a. Compute the impulse response h[n] of the system.

$ y[n] = h[n]\text{ when }x[n] = \delta[n] $
$ h[-1] = 0 $
$ h[0] = 1 $
$ h[1] = 2 + 0.5 $
$ h[2] = 0.5(2 + 0.5) $
$ h[3] = 0.5(0.5(2 + 0.5)) $
...
$ h[n] = (0.5 + 0.5) + (0.5 + 2) + (0.5^2 + 2(0.5)^2) + (0.5^3 + 2(0.5)^3) + ... $
So
$ h[n] = 0.5^nu[n] + 2(0.5)^{n-1}u[n-1] $

b. Compute the output when x[n] = u[n].

y[n] = h[n] * x[n]
y[n] = h[n] * u[n]
y[n] = $ 0.5^nu[n] + 2(0.5)^{n-1}u[n-1] $ * u[n]
y[n] = $ (0.5^nu[n] * u[n]) + (2(0.5)^{n-1}u[n-1] * u[n]) $

Splitting the expression into two parts, we evaluate them individually,
Using the definition of convolution,
$ (f * g)[n]\ \stackrel{\mathrm{def}}{=}\ \sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty} f[k]\, g[n - k] $

$ \begin{align} 0.5^nu[n] * u[n] &= \sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty} 0.5^k u[k] u[n - k] \\ &= \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} 0.5^k u[n - k] \\ &= \sum_{k=0}^{n} 0.5^k u[n] \\ &= u[n] \sum_{k=0}^{n} 0.5^k \\ &= u[n] \frac{1-0.5^{n+1}}{1-0.5} \\ &= 2(1-0.5^{n+1})u[n] \end{align} $

For the next part of the expression convolve with a delta function. Recall, that convolving a function with a shifted delta results in a shifted version of the function,

$ \begin{align} 2(0.5^{n-1}u[n-1]) * u[n] &= 2(0.5^nu[n] * \delta[n-1]) * u[n] \\ &= 2(0.5^nu[n] * u[n]) * \delta[n-1] \\ &= 2(2(1-0.5^{n+1})u[n]) * \delta[n-1] \\ &= 4(1-0.5^{n})u[n-1] \\ \end{align} $

Combining the two,

$ \begin{align} y[n] &= 2(1-0.5^{n+1})u[n] + 4(1-0.5^{n})u[n-1] \end{align} $

c. Compute the output when x[n] = $ 0.25^n $u[n].

y[n] = h[n] * x[n]
y[n] = h[n] * u[n]
y[n] = $ 0.5^nu[n] + 2(0.5)^{n-1}u[n-1] $ * 0.25^nu[n]
y[n] = $ (0.5^nu[n] * u[n]) + (2(0.5)^{n-1}u[n-1] * 0.25^nu[n]) $

Splitting the expression into two parts, we evaluate them individually,
Using the definition of convolution,
$ (f * g)[n]\ \stackrel{\mathrm{def}}{=}\ \sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty} f[k]\, g[n - k] $

$ \begin{align} 0.5^nu[n] * 0.25^nu[n] &= \sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty} 0.5^k u[k] 0.25^{n-k}u[n - k] \\ &= \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{0.5^k}{0.25^k} 0.25^nu[n - k] \\ &= \sum_{k=0}^{n} \frac{0.5^k}{0.25^k} 0.25^nu[n] \\ &= 0.25^nu[n] \sum_{k=0}^{n} \frac{0.5^k}{0.25^k} \\ &= 0.25^nu[n] \frac{1-\frac{(0.5)^{n+1}}{(0.25)^{n+1}}}{1-\frac{0.5}{0.25}} \\ &= 0.25^nu[n] \frac{1-2^{n+1}}{1-2} \\ &= 0.25^n(2^{n+1} - 1)u[n] \\ \end{align} $

For the next part of the expression convolve with a delta function. Recall, that convolving a function with a shifted delta results in a shifted version of the function,

$ \begin{align} 2(0.5^{n-1}u[n-1]) * 0.25^nu[n] &= 2(0.5^nu[n] * \delta[n-1]) * 0.25^nu[n] \\ &= 2(0.5^nu[n] * 0.25^nu[n]) * \delta[n-1] \\ &= 2(0.25^n(2^{n+1} - 1)u[n]) * \delta[n-1] \\ &= 2(0.25^{n-1}(2^{n} - 1))u[n-1] \\ \end{align} $

Combining the two,

$ \begin{align} y[n] &= 0.25^n(2^{n+1} - 1)u[n] + 2(0.25^{n-1}(2^{n} - 1))u[n-1] \end{align} $
