Problem

Calculate the energy $ E_\infty $ and the average power $ P_\infty $ for the CT signal

$ x(t)=tu(t) $


Solution 1

$ E_\infty = \int_{-\infty}^\infty |tu(t)|^2\,dt) $

$ E_\infty = \int_{0}^\infty t^2\,dt) $

$ E_\infty =\frac{t^3}{3}\bigg]_0^\infty) $

$ E_\infty =\infty-0 = \infty $

Calculating $ P_\infty $

$ P_\infty = lim_{T \to \infty} \ \frac{1}{2T} \int_{-T}^T |tu(t)|^2\,dt $

$ P_\infty = lim_{T \to \infty} \ \frac{1}{2T} \int_{0}^T t^2\,dt $

$ P_\infty = lim_{T \to \infty} \ \frac{1}{2T} \frac{t^3}{3}\bigg]_0^T $

$ P_\infty = lim_{T \to \infty} \ \frac{1}{2T} \frac{T^3}{3} $

$ P_\infty = lim_{T \to \infty} \ \frac{T^2}{6} $

$ P_\infty = \infty $
