2 Final Examination / 6.003: Signals and Systems (Fall 2009)
1. CT System with Feedback [15 points]
Let G represent a causal system that is described by the following differential equation
dy ( t )
+ y ( t ) =
dx ( t )
− x ( t )
dt dt
where x ( t ) represents the input signal and y ( t ) represents the output signal.
a. Determine the output y

b. Determine a differential equation that relates w ( t ) to y ( t ) when K = 10 . The differ-
ential equation should not contain references to x ( t ) .
Enter the differential equation in the box below.
