The effect of the initial conditions in inflation on scalar and tensor perturbations is investigated. Formulae for the power spectra of gravitational waves and curvature perturbations for any initial conditions in inflation are derived, and the ratio of scalar to tensor perturbations and spectral index are calculated. The formulation is applied to some simplified pre-inflationary cosmological models, and the differences of the ratio and spectral index are investigated with respect to two matching conditions. In addition, the present power spectrum of gravitational waves is derived. The proposed formulation is preliminarily shown to be a possible test of the appropriateness of a given pre-inflationary model.
