Signals and Systems: Response of LTI systems to Complex Exponentials

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on evaluating the integral for calculating the amplitude factor of a Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) system with a time-shifted input-output relationship, specifically y(t) = x(t - 3). The mathematical derivation shows that the Laplace transform of the output Y(s) can be expressed as Y(s) = e^(-3s) * X(s). This results from substituting the time-shifted input into the Laplace transform equation and performing a variable change in the integral. The impulse response H(s) is thus determined to be H(s) = e^(-3s), which characterizes the input-output relationship of the system. Understanding this derivation is crucial for grasping the behavior of LTI systems under time shifts.

How will we evaluate the integral for calculation of Amplitude Factor for an LTI system for which the input and output are related by a time shift of 3, i.e.,

y(t) = x(t - 3)


The answer is: H(s) = e^(-3s)

I want to understand the Mathematics behind the evaluation of the integral.

Thanks.

i'm not sure how the title of your post is related to the content.

by definition, on the left side you have,

Y(s) = \mathcal{L} \left\{y(t)\right\} = \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} e^{-st} y(t) \,dt

and, also by definition,

X(s) = \mathcal{L} \left\{x(t)\right\} = \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} e^{-st} x(t) \,dt

and, it turns out that for LTI systems, after you show that the convolution operator and some impulse response is what relates the input x(t) to the output y(t), then

Y(s) = H(s) X(s)

where

H(s) = \mathcal{L} \left\{h(t)\right\} = \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} e^{-st} h(t) \,dt

and h(t) is the impulse response of the LTI system and completely characterizes the input/output relationship of the LTI system.

now, in your specific case,

Y(s) = \mathcal{L} \left\{y(t)\right\} = \mathcal{L} \left\{x(t-3)\right\} = \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} e^{-st} x(t-3) \,dt

which, after you do a trivial substitution of variable of integration is

Y(s) = \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} e^{-s(t+3)} x(t) \,dt = e^{-s \cdot 3} \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} e^{-st} x(t) \,dt = e^{-s \cdot 3} \cdot X(s)

which means that

H(s) = e^{-s \cdot 3}.

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
