To deteririirie the stability from the criteria in(16.3), wc investigate whether the impulse response can be absohttely integrated:
1
- for a > 0
cm otherwise
(16.9)
bW
arid obtain the result: the system is stable for a > 0
For m = 0, the impulse response takes the form of the step function h ( f ) = ~ ( f )
We recognise the impulse respoiise of ail integrator froiri Chapter 8.4.4.1, and with (16.9) we can say the following about the sgsteni stability: an integrator is not BIBO-stable This is not surprising when we recdl the response of an integrator
t o a step function ~ ( t ) The integral over this bounded input signal grows with incrcasing time ovcr all limits arid thus violatcs t h c condition for BIBO-stabilit
Example 16.2
When we clealt with the sampling theorem in Chapter 11.3.2, we 1isc.d a system with a rectangular frequency respoiise and a sint function impulse response (1 1.35)
as an interpolation filter for sampling This is also called an d e a l low-pass filter
We now want to invesligate whether such a systeni caii be realised
Considering the impulse response in Figure 11.11, it can be immediately seen that the impulse response of the ideal low-ptws is a bilateral signal The ideal low-pass is thrrrfore not c;iusal
As the frequency iesponse of a stable system cannot ha~7e any tlisront iiiiiitie4,
we suspect that the ideal low-pass is also unstable In ordrr t o confirm khis, the unit of tiinc in (1 1 3 5 ) is chosen so that T = 7r for simplification, and the impulsc response is
W e iiow have to deterinine whether the integral
