Definition of Time Invariance

A system $ \,s(t)\, $ is called time invariant if for any input signal $ \,x(t)\, $ yielding output signal $ \,y(t)\, $ and for any $ \,t_o\in\mathbb{R}\, $, the response to $ \,x(t-t_o)\, $ is $ \,y(t-t_o)\, $.

Example of a Time Invariant System

The following system is time invariant:

$ \,s(t)=2x(t-3)\, $


Proof:

Example of a Time Variant System

The following system is time variant:

$ \,s(t)=\, $
