Quiz Questions Pool for Week 9
Q1. Consider the following second order FIR filter with the two zeros on the unit circle as shown below.
The transfer function for this filter is given by $ H(z) = (1-e^{j\theta}z^{-1})(1-e^{-j\theta}z^{-1})=1-2\cos\theta z^{-1}+z^{-2} $
- a. Find the difference equation of this filter.
- b. Find the frequency response $ H(w) $ from the difference equation by the following two approaches:
- i. apply the input $ e^{jwn} $ to the difference equation describing the system,
- ii. find the DTFT of the impulse response,
- and verify that both methods lead to the same result.
- c. Find the response of this system to the input
- $ x[n]=\left\{ \begin{array}{rl} 1, & \text{ if }n=-1,\\ 1, & \text{ if }n=0,\\ 0, & \text{ else. } \end{array} \right. $
- d. When $ \theta=\pi/2 $, is this filter a lowpass, highpass, bandpass or a bandstop filter?
- e. An interference signal modulated at 2kHz and sampled at 8kHz is being inputted to this system and you want to eliminate this interference. What must be the value of $ \theta $ to eliminate this signal?
Q2. When we have a LTI system, the impulse response $ h[n] $ must be real
in order for $ y[n] $ to be real whenever $ x[n] $ is real.
The condition for $ h[n] $ to be real is
$ h[n]=h^{\ast}[n] $
Then, what is the condition of the frequency response $ H(w) $ for $ h[n] $ to be real?
(Hint: Apply DTFT to the above equation)
Q3.
Consider a DT LTI system described by the following equation
$ y[n] = x[n] + 2x[n - 1] + 0.5y[n - 1] $
a. Compute the impulse response h[n] of the system.
b. Compute the output when x[n] = u[n].
c. Compute the output when $ x[n] = 0.25^nu[n] $.
