Time-invariant System

Time-invariant System

A time-invariant (TIV) system is one whose output does not depend explicitly on time.

If the input signal produces an output then any time shifted input, results in a time-shifted output

This property can be satisfied if the transfer function of the system is not a function of time except expressed by the input and output. This property can also be stated in another way in terms of a schematic

If a system is time-invariant then the system block is commutative with an arbitrary delay.

Famous quotes containing the word system:

    Exploitation and oppression is not a matter of race. It is the system, the apparatus of world-wide brigandage called imperialism, which made the Powers behave the way they did. I have no illusions on this score, nor do I believe that any Asian nation or African nation, in the same state of dominance, and with the same system of colonial profit-amassing and plunder, would have behaved otherwise.
    Han Suyin (b. 1917)
