SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on determining the linearity and time-invariance of three systems represented by the equations Y[n]=aX[n]+b, Y[n]=X[n]X[n-5], and Y[n]=5X[n]+9X[n-5]. The first system is confirmed as time-invariant, while the second system is also time-invariant but non-linear. The third system is identified as non-time-invariant due to the failure to meet the expected output conditions. The principles of linearity are defined by proportionality and superposition, which are crucial for evaluating these systems.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of linearity in systems, including proportionality and superposition.
  • Knowledge of time-invariance and its implications in signal processing.
  • Familiarity with discrete-time signals and their transformations.
  • Basic mathematical skills for manipulating equations and sequences.
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the principles of linearity in depth, focusing on proportionality and superposition.
  • Explore time-invariance in systems and its mathematical implications.
  • Learn about nonlinear systems and their characteristics in signal processing.
  • Practice evaluating systems using specific examples and equations to reinforce understanding.
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in electrical engineering, signal processing, and control systems who are looking to deepen their understanding of linear and time-invariant systems.

Homework Statement



consider these systems is linear or time invariant?
a) Y[n]=aX[n]+b
b) Y[n]=X[n] X[n-5]
c) Y[n]=5X[n]+9X[n-5]

Homework Equations



linearity of the system is defined by the principle of proportionality and superposition
and time-invariant system means if a time shift of the input sequence causes a coresponding shift in the output sequence.

The Attempt at a Solution



a) Y[n]=aX[n]+b
input X[n]
X1[n]= X[n-no]
Y1[n]= aX[n-no]+b
Y[n-no]= aX[n-no]+b
so,this system is time-invariant

b)Y[n]=X[n] X[n-5]
input X[n]
Y1[n]=X[n-no] X[n-no-5]
Y[n-no]=X[n-no] X[n-no-5] <- here I'm not sure..
but, I think this system is time-invariant

c)Y[n]=5X[n]+9X[n-5]
input X[n]=X[n-no]
Y1[n]=5X[n-no]+9X[n-no-5]
Y[n-no]=5X[n]-5X[no]+9X[n]-9X[no]+9X[-5]
since the output wasn't as we expect, so the system is not time-invariant

can, someone check my works, am I correct or wrong? and also, how to check whether the system is linear, I know that theoretically the linear system should satisfy the superposition and proportionality, but I'm not sure how to work out with it.. thanks

Hi ...

All the 3 systems are time - invariant ... The first two systems are non-linear
