Solution to Question 1 of HW5


$ x_r(t)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty x(kT) \text{ sinc} \left(\frac{t-kT}{T}\right) $

Let m be any integer.

$ \begin{align} \text{a)} \;\; x_r(mT) & = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty x(kT) \text{ sinc} \left(\frac{mT-kT}{T}\right) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty x(kT) \text{ sinc} \left((m-k)\right) \\ & = x(mT), \;\; \text{ since} \; \text{ sinc}\left( (m-k) \right) = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} 1 & \text{ when } m=k \\ 0 & \text{ when } m \neq k \end{array} \right. \end{align} $

$ \begin{align} \text{b)} \;\; & \text{The above expression is equivalent to the following:} \\ & x_r(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty x(kT) \delta(t-kT) \ast \text{ sinc} \left(\frac{t}{T}\right) \\ \end{align} $

This implies that the reconstructed signal $ x_r(t) $ is the output of a filter when we input the impulse train of $ x(t) $ with period $ T $.

The impulse response of this filter is $ \text{sinc}(t/T) $, whose frequency response is a ideal low-pass filter with the cut-off frequency of $ 1/(2T) $.

Thus the signal bandwidth $ B $ must be less than $ 1/(2T) $ for the perfect reconstruction.

But the sampling frequency for the impulse train was $ F_s=1/T $. Thus the sampling frequency must be larger than $ 2B $, in order to avoid aliasing when reconstruction.

Hence, when $ F_s>2B $, $ x_r(t)=x(t) $.

$ \begin{align} \text{a)} \;\; & x_p(t)=x(t) \sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty} \delta(t-kT) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty} x(kT) \delta(t-kT) \\ & h_0(t) = \text{rect}\left(\frac{t-\frac{T}{2}}{T}\right) \\ & x_0(t) = x_p(t) \ast h_0(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty} x(kT) \delta(t-kT) \ast \text{rect}\left(\frac{t-\frac{T}{2}}{T}\right) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty} x(kT) \text{rect}\left(\frac{t-(k+\frac{1}{2})T}{T}\right) \\ \end{align} $

$ \text{c)} \;\; \text{There is no such condition and the impulse response of this LTI system is } h_0(t)\,\! $.

$ \text{d)} \;\; \text{False} \,\! $

Even though the signal is band-limited, sampling will incur the replicas at every multiples of sampling frequency $ 1/T $.

And the frequency response of zero-order hold is $ H_0(e^{jw})=T\text{ sinc}(wT/2)e^{-jwT/2} $, which is not like a low-pass filter.

Therefore, the frequency response of $ x_0(t) $ is not band-limited.


Solution to Question 3 of HW5


$ \text{a)} \;\; \text{General Relation for the decimation with a factor of } D \,\! $.

$ \text{Let } X(w) = \mathcal{F}(x[n]) $

$ \begin{align} Y(w) &= \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} y[n]e^{-jwn} = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} x[3n]e^{-jwn} \\ &= \sum_{m=-\infty, m=Dk}^{\infty} x[m]e^{-j\frac{wm}{D}} = \sum_{m=-\infty}^{\infty} x[m] \left( \sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty} \delta[m-Dk] \right) e^{-j\frac{wm}{D}} \\ &= \sum_{m=-\infty}^{\infty} x[m] \left( \frac{1}{D} \sum_{k=0}^{D-1} e^{j\frac{2\pi}{D}km} \right) e^{-j\frac{wm}{D}} = \sum_{k=0}^{D-1} \frac{1}{D} \sum_{m=-\infty}^{\infty} x[m]e^{j\left(w-\frac{2\pi}{D}k\right)m} \\ &= \sum_{k=0}^{D-1} \frac{1}{D} X\left(\frac{w-2\pi k}{D}\right) \\ \end{align} $

Replacing D with 3 would be the answer.

$ \text{b)} \;\; \text{General Relation for the upsampling with a factor of } L \,\! $.

$ \begin{align} Z(w) &= \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} z[n]e^{-jwn} \\ &= \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \left( \sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty} x[k] \delta[n-kL] \right) e^{-jwn} \\ &= \sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty} x[k] \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \delta[n-kL] e^{-jwn} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty} x[k] e^{-jwkL} \\ &= \sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty} x[k] e^{-jLwk} = X(Lw) \\ &\end{align} $

Since $ X(w) $ is periodic with $ 2\pi $, $ Z(w)=X(Lw) $ is periodic with $ 2\pi/L $.

Replaing L with 4 would be the answer.
