Today we talked about upsampling. More specifically, we derived the relationship between the DTFT of $ x_2[n] $ and the DTFT of $ x_1[n] $ when

$ x_2[n]=\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} x_1[n/D], & \text{ when }n/D \text{ is an integer, }\\ 0, & \text{ else.} \end{array} \right. $

for some positive integer D. We then concluded that, in order to obtain the resampling $ x_3[n]=x(T_2n) $, we need to assume that x(t) was band-limited with $ f_{max}<\pi /D $ and apply a low-pass filter with gain D and cut-off $ \pi/D $ to $ x_2[n] $.


Action Items

  • Keep working on the fifth homework. It's due Friday.
  • Continue preparing for the first test:
    • Review the relationship between a sampling and a downsampling (in the frequency domain).
