GATE 2014 EC (EC1) – Question 29

Networks, Signals and Systems · LTI Systems · 1 mark · Numerical answer

A continuous LTI filter has $h(t)=3$ for $0\le t\le3$, and zero otherwise. A constant input of value 5 is applied. Find steady-state output.

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: 44 to 46

Explanation

For an LTI system the steady response to a constant input is the input multiplied by the DC gain ∫h(t)dt. The rectangular impulse response has area3×3=9. Thus the output is5×9=**45**. The finite support of h makes the convolution integral well-defined.
