Exam1 question 3.
An LTI system has unit impulse response $ h[n] = u[-n] $. compute the system's response to the input $ x[n]=2^nu[-n] $. (Simplify your answer until all $ \sum $ signs disappear.)
Solution
$ y[n] = x[n] * h[n]\! $
$ =\sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty} x[k]h[n-k] $
$ =\sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty} 2^{k}u[-k]u[-(n-k)] $
$ =\sum_{k=-\infty}^{0}2^{k}u[-u+k] $
$ r = -k \! $
$ =\sum_{r=0}^{\infty}(\frac{1}{2})^{r}u[-n-r] $
$ -n-r \geqq 0 $
$ -n\geqq r $
$ =(\sum_{r=0}^{-n}(\frac{1}{2})^{n}) $
if -n>= 0
else , 0
therefore,
$ \left\frac{\left 1 - (\right \frac{1}{2})^{-n+1}}{\left 1 - (\right \frach{1}{2})}\right $
