A
Key Concept
Causality and Frequency Response
Explanation
A system is causal if its impulse response is zero for all negative times. The sinc function in the frequency domain corresponds to a time-domain function that is non-zero for negative times, thus the system is non-causal.
B
Key Concept
Causality and Time Shifting
Explanation
Multiplying by e−jπf corresponds to a time shift in the time domain. Since the sinc function is non-causal, shifting it in time does not make it causal. C
Key Concept
Rectangular Function and Causality
Explanation
The rectangular function, or rect function, in the frequency domain corresponds to a sinc function in the time domain, which is non-zero for negative times, indicating a non-causal system.
D
Key Concept
Time Shifting in Frequency Domain
Explanation
Multiplying by e−jω corresponds to a time shift. Since the rect function is non-causal in the time domain, shifting it does not result in a causal system. E
Key Concept
Constant Frequency Response and Causality
Explanation
A constant frequency response corresponds to a delta function in the time domain, which is causal since it is zero for all negative times.
F
Key Concept
Exponential in Frequency Domain and Non-causality
Explanation
An exponential term like ej2πf corresponds to a time shift, which does not affect causality. Since a constant A is causal, the system remains causal after the shift. G
Key Concept
Frequency Response and Impulse Response
Explanation
The term 1−e−jω corresponds to a time-domain function that is non-zero for negative times, indicating a non-causal system. H
Key Concept
Time Shifting and Frequency Scaling
Explanation
The term e−j40πf represents a time shift, and the rect function scaled by 1/20 is non-causal. The combination remains non-causal. I
Key Concept
Poles and Z-Transform Causality
Explanation
For a system to be causal, all poles of its Z-transform must lie inside the unit circle. The given H has a pole at 0.9, which is inside the unit circle, so the system is causal. J
Key Concept
Poles and Z-Transform Causality
Explanation
If a pole of the Z-transform lies outside the unit circle, the system is non-causal. The given H has a pole at 1.3, which is outside the unit circle, indicating a non-causal system.
