A system is said to be causal if the output of the system depends on _______

Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) : Signals and Systems - Quiz(MCQ)

The Future Inputs

The Present Inputs

The Past and Future Inputs

The Past and Present Inputs

Correct Answer : Option (D) : The Past and Present Inputs

Explanation : A system is causal if and only if the current output is only a function of present and past inputs. The current output does not depend on the future inputs y (k) = f(u(k)); u(k-1); u(k-2);).
