This document contains a mid-term test for a signals and systems engineering diploma assessment. The test contains 4 questions that assess topics such as determining if signals are periodic or aperiodic, sketching signals, evaluating convolution sums and integrals, defining Laplace and z-transforms, and using properties like shifting to find impulse responses of linear time-invariant systems. The test aims to evaluate students' understanding of fundamental concepts in signals and systems.
