The continuous-time unit impulse signal is applied as an input to a continuous-time linear time-invariant system \( S \). The output is observed to be the continuous-time unit step signal \( u(t) \). Which one of the following statements is true?
Show Hint
- On applying any input signal to \( S \), the output signal is always unbounded.
- It is possible to find a bounded input signal which, when applied to \( S \), results in an unbounded output signal.
- Every bounded input signal to \( S \) results in a bounded output signal.
- On applying any input signal to \( S \), the output signal is always bounded.
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Step 2: The system \( S \) may exhibit a bounded output for some inputs (such as \( u(t) \)), but there are cases where a bounded input can lead to an unbounded output, especially if the system has an unstable behavior or certain resonance conditions.
Thus, the correct answer is that it is possible for a bounded input to result in an unbounded output.
