Defining an LTI System

For an input x(t), let the LTI system be defined as:

$ \ y(t)=0.5 x(t-5) u(t) $

Computing the Impulse Response and System Function

Inputting a delta into the system yields:

$ \ y(t)=h(t)=0.5 \delta(t-5) u(t) $

The System Function is defined by:

$ H(s)=\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} h(t)e^{-st}\,dt\, $

Now computing the actual response:

$ H(s)=\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} 0.5 \delta(t-5) u(t) e^{-st}\,dt\, $

which is turns into:


$ H(s)=\int_{0}^{\infty} 0.5 \delta(t-5) e^{-st}\,dt\, $

Now using the sifting property of the delta function we obtain:

$ \ H(s)= 0.5 e^{-5s} $
