Lec.2 Basic Properties of
Systems
What are Systems
?
 Systems are used to process signals to modify or extract
information
 Physical system – characterized by their input-output relationships
 E.g. electrical systems are characterized by voltage-current
relationships for components and the laws of interconnections (i.e.
Kirchhoff’s laws)
 From this, we derive a mathematical model of the system
 “Black box” model of a system:

Classification of Systems
 Systems may be classified into:
1. Linear and non-linear systems
2. Constant parameter and time-varying-parameter systems
3. Instantaneous (memoryless) and dynamic (with memory)
systems
4. Causal and non-causal systems
5. Continuous-time and discrete-time systems
6. Analogue and digital systems
7. Invertible and noninvertible systems
8. Stable and unstable systems
 A linear system exhibits the additivity
property:
if then
 It also must satisfy the homogeneity or scaling
property:
if then
 These can be combined into the property of
superposition:
if then
 A non-linear system is one that is NOT linear (i.e. does not obey
the principle of superposition)
Linear Systems (1)
 Show that the system described by the equation
(1)
is linear.
 Let x1(t)  y1(t) and x2(t)  y2(t), then
and
 Multiply 1st equation by k1, and 2nd equation by k2, and adding them
yields:
 This is the system described by the equation (1)
with
and
Linear Systems (4)
 Time-invariant system is one whose parameters do not change with
time:
Time-Invariant Systems

seconds
 In general, a system’s output at time t depends on the entire past
input. Such a system is a dynamic (with memory) system
 A system whose response at t is completely determined by the input
signals over the past T seconds is a finite-memory system
 Networks containing inductors and capacitors are infinite
memory dynamic systems
 If the system’s past history is irrelevant in determining the
response, it is an
instantaneous or memoryless systems
Instantaneous and Dynamic Systems
Systems are generally composed of components
(sub-systems) We can use our understanding of the
components and their interconnection to understand
the operation and behaviour of the overall system

 Consider the following simple RC
circuit:
 Output y(t) relates to x(t) by:
 The second term can be
expanded:
 This is a single-input, single-output (SISO) system. In
general, a
system can be multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO).
Linear Systems (2)
 Causal system – output at t0 depends only on x(t) for t  t0
 I.e. present output depends only on the past and present inputs, not on
future inputs
 Any practical REAL TIME system must be causal.
 Noncausal systems are important because:
1. Realizable when the independent variable is something other than “time” (e.g.
space)
2. Even for temporal systems, can prerecord the data (non-real time), mimic a
non- causal system
3. Study upper bound on the performance of a causal system
Causal and Noncasual Systems
 Discrete-time systems process data samples – normally regularly sampled at T
 Continuous-time input and output are x(t) and y(t)
 Discrete-time input and output samples are x[nT] and y[nT] when n is an integer
and-   n  + 
Continuous-Time and Discrete-Time Systems
Continuous & Discrete-Time Mathematical Models
of Systems
Continuous-Time Systems
Most continuous time systems
represent how continuous
signals are transformed via
differential equations
.
E.g. circuit, car velocity
Discrete-Time Systems
Most discrete time systems
represent how discrete signals
are transformed via difference
equations
E.g. bank account, discrete
car velocity system

Invertible and Noninvertible Systems
 Let a system S produces y(t) with input x(t), if there exists
another system Si, which produces x(t) from y(t), then S is
invertible
 Essential that there is one-to-one mapping between input and
output
 For example if S is an amplifier with gain G, it is invertible and Si is
an attenuator with gain 1/G
 Apply Si following S gives an identity system (i.e. input x(t) is
not changed)
System S System Si
x(t)
x(t) y(t)
Stable and Unstable Systems
 Externally stable systems: Bounded input results in bounded
output
(system is said to be stable in the BIBO sense
Linear Differential Systems (1)
 Many systems in electrical and mechanical engineering where input
x(t)
and output y(t) are related by differential equations
 For example:
Linear Differential Systems (2)
 In general, relationship between x(t) and y(t) in a linear time-invariant
(LTI) differential system is given by (where all coefficients ai and bi are
constants):
and
 Use compact notation D for operator d/dt,
i.e etc.
