Question
We define . Now, . Is z[n] a causal system?
Select one:
- Yes
- No
Solution
To determine if z[n] is a causal system, we need to analyze its properties. A system is considered causal if the output at any given time depends only on the current and past inputs, and not on future inputs.
In this case, z[n] is defined as the sum of z[n-1] and y[n]. Since z[n] depends on z[n-1], which is the previous output, it implies that z[n] does depend on past values of the system. However, y[n] is defined as nx[n] – (n-1)x[n], where n is the current time index.
Since y[n] includes the current time index n, it means that the output z[n] also depends on the current time index. This indicates that z[n] is not solely determined by past inputs, violating the causality condition.
Therefore, the answer is 2. No, z[n] is not a causal system.
