Solution: Although F{x(t)} does not seem to be easy, we can find the derivative of x(t).

x0 = = u(t − 1) + u(t − 2) − u(t − 4) − u(t − 5)

dx
Time shifting dt by 3 units to the left gives us
x00 = u(t + 2) + u(t + 1) − u(t − 1) − u(t − 2) = [u(t + 2) − u(t − 2)] + [u(t + 1) − u(t − 1)] = x1 + x2
where x1 = u(t + 2) − u(t − 2) and x2 = u(t + 1) − u(t − 1). We know the Fourier Transform of these functions, and
starting from them, we can calculate F{x0 }, F{x00 } and finally F{x}.

2. The average voice frequency of a tenor singer lies between 120Hz and 200Hz, while average voice frequency of an alto
singer is between 140Hz and 220Hz. An engineer decides that by modulating the tenor voices with p(t) = π1 cos(2π20t)
and then applying a suitable filter, tenor and alto voice would overlap the same interval.
Solution:
Due to the overlapping of the components of the tenor voice, the output would produce a distorted version of
the input.
3. The response of an LTI system to x1 (t) = e−αt u(t), where α > 0, is δ(t). Find the response of the system to
x2 (t) = e−αt cos(βt)u(t).
