A causal DT LTI system is described in terms of the difference equation.
y[n]-2y[n-1] + ay[n-2]-2ay[n-3] = x[n]-2x[n-1]
A pole-zero map of the impulse response h[n] in the given LTI system is shown below:
(a) Find value a in the difference equation using a pole-zero map. Ans) a=4
(1-2z-1 ) 1
Sol) LIT system - > (1-2z -1 + az -2 -2az -3 )Y(z) = (1-2z -1 )X(Z) , H(z) = =
(1-2z-1 +az-2 -2az-3 ) (1+az-2 )

(b) If a is the answer in (a), describe the frequency-response characteristic (e.g. high-pass/low-
pass/band pass/all-pass) of h[n].
Ans) band pass filter
