Definition

A system characterized by a difference equation in DT is given as:

$ \, \sum_{k=0}^N a_k\,y[n-k]=\sum_{k=0}^N b_k\,x[n-k] $

We will likely be asked to solve for the frequency response $ \,H(e^{j\omega}) $, the unit impulse response $ \,h[n] $, or the system's response to an input $ \,x[n] $.

Example 1

Find $ \,H(e^{j\omega}) $, and $ \,h[n] $ for the following system in DT domain:

$ \, -\frac{2}{5}y[n-2]-\frac{17}{5}y[n-1]+6y[n]=4x[n] $

Solution

First find $ \,H(e^{j\omega}) $:

1) Take the fourier transform of every term:

$ \, -\frac{2}{5}\mathcal{Y}(\omega)e^{-2j\omega}-\frac{17}{5}\mathcal{Y}e^{-j\omega}+6\mathcal{Y}(\omega)=4\mathcal{X}(\omega) $

2) Factor out the y terms:

$ \, \mathcal{Y}(\omega) \left (-\frac{2}{5}e^{-2j\omega}-\frac{17}{5}e^{-j\omega}+6 \right )=4\mathcal{X}(\omega) $

3) Now isolate $ \,H(\omega) $

$ \, H(\omega)=H(e^{j\omega})=\frac{\mathcal{Y}(\omega)}{\mathcal{X}(\omega)}=\frac{4}{-\frac{2}{5}e^{-2j\omega}-\frac{17}{5}e^{-j\omega}+6} $

2nd, find $ \,h[n] $

$ h[n]=\mathcal{F}^{-1}(H(e^{j\omega}) $

This is the rough part, as partial fraction expansions must be used :P

for simplification purposes, let $ \,x=e^{-j\omega} $ , so the fraction becomes :

$ \, H(e^{j\omega})=\frac{4}{-\frac{2}{5}x^2-\frac{17}{5}x+6} $

Now for the partial fraction expansion steps: 1) Write a polynomial expansion(or find the roots) of the denominator:

$ \, \left (-\frac{2}{5}x^2-\frac{17}{5}x+6 \right )= \left ( \frac{1}{5}x+2 \right )(-2x+3) $

2) Now setup the PFE in the form of:

$ \, \frac{4}{\left ( \frac{1}{5}x+2 \right )(-2x+3)}=\frac{A}{\left ( \frac{1}{5}x+2 \right )}+\frac{B}{-2x+3} $

3) To find A, set the denominator of A to 0, and solve for x(This method is called the Parāvartya Sūtra method):

$ \, \frac{1}{5}x+2=0, x=-10 $

Now plug this value into the left equation to solve for A:

$ \, A=\frac{4}{20+3}=\frac{4}{23} $

Do the same for B:

$ \, -2x+3=0, x=\frac{3}{2} B=\frac{4}{\frac{1}{5}\frac{3}{2}+2} $
