1. What are energy and power signals? The energy signal is one in which has finite energy and zero average power. The power signal is one in which has finite average power and infinite energy.

2. What are Random signals? The signal that takes on random value at any given instant and it cannot be predicted. Non deterministic signals are also called as Random signals. Example: ECG signals, Noise in electric circuits. 3. Distinguish between continuous and discrete time signals. If the signal amplitude can be defined for all values of time t is Called as continuous time signals and it is denoted by x(t). If the signal amplitude can be defined for particular integer values of time period n is called as discrete time signals and it is denoted by x(n). 4. Find the period of x(n) = cos [8n/7 +2]. = 8/7 2f = 8/7 f= 4/7 ; here K= 4 & N =7 It is periodic and the fundamental period is N =7 samples. 5. State the classification of system 1. Linear and non linear system 2. Time variant and in variant system 3. Causal and non causal system.

4. Static and Dynamic system. 5. Stable and unstable system. 6. Define System. A system is a physical device that performs an operation on the signal. The input signal is called as excitation and output signal is called as response.

7. Distinguish between linear and non linear system. a1 T[x1(t)] + a2 T[x2(t)] = T [ a1x1(t) + a2x2(t) ] If the above equation satisfies then the system is said to be linear system. A system is said to be linear it should satisfy the principle of Superposition. If the above equation does not satisfy then the system is said to be non linear system. 8. Define time invariant system. (May/June 2006) A system is time invariant if it satisfies the following relation T[x(n-k)] = y (n-k) 9. What is meant by causal & non causal system? (May/June 2006) A system is said be causal if its output at anytime depends upon present and past input only. A system is said be non causal if its output at anytime depends upon present and future input only. 10. State the condition for the BIBO stable? May/June 2005 The condition for the BIBO stable is given by

| h(t ) | dt < | h(n) |<

11. Define Z- Transform. The Z transform of a discrete time signal x(n) is defined as power series

12. Define Sampling Theorem. Nov/Dec 2008 Sampling is the process by which analog signal is converted into corresponding sequence of samples that are spaced uniformly in time. Sampling theorem states that the band limited signal of finite energy whose sampling frequency is twice that of the maximum frequency, and it can be completely reconstructed from its samples. Fs 2 Fmax 13. What is aliasing? How it can be avoided ? The phenomenon of high frequency sinusoidal components acquiring the identity of low frequency sinusoidal components after sampling is called aliasing. To avoid aliasing the sampling frequency should be equal to twice of the maximum frequency. Fs = 2 Fmax 14. Find the Z transform and ROC for the sequence {1, 2, 0.5, 1, -1, 5} 15. Find whether the given system is linear or non-linear y(n) = ex(n) 16. Difference between the linear and circular convolution. 17. Find the { x(n) * h(n) } and { x(n) h(n) = { - 1 1 1 -1 } h(n) } for the sequence x(n) = {1 2 3 4} and
