All questions below are derived from the homework of Prof. Mireille Boutin, all rights reserved by Prof. Mireille Boutin.

1. Compute and Sketch the graph of the DTFT of $ x_d[n] = cos(2 \pi 250 (1/400) ) $




2. If x(t) is $ (1/8)*sinc((t-15)/7) $ find $ \chi(f) $ and plot $ |\chi(f)| $



3. A continuous time signal is such that $ \chi(f) $ is 0 when |f| > 3 KHz. You would like a cutoff at 2KHz and a gain of 5.

a. A sample exists with a sampling rate of 9000 samples/sec. Can you process this signal to make a band limited interpolation? If no, explain why. If yes, explain how.


b. If this sample is downsampled by a factor of 3, can you still make the reconstruction?


4. Find the DFT of $ x[n] = e^{j (\pi/2) n} * cos{ (\pi/5) n} $



5. Find the N-Point inverse DFT x[n] of $ e^{j (\pi/3) k} $



6. Compare the total number of operations for a N= 64 point DFT via summation formula, decimation by 2, and radix DFT. Which makes more sense for N=64. How about for N = 65?



7. Find the Z transform of $ x[n] = 2^{n} * u[n-10] $



8. Find the frequency response in two different ways of $ y[n] + 2y[n-1] + 7y[n-3] = x[n] + 3x[n-2] $ Is this an implicit or an explicit system? What does this tell us about the plot on the Z plane?



9. The sampling rate of a vocal recording is 10KHz. There exists a large formant at 2KHz, medium sized formants at 3 KHz and 1.5 KHz, and a small formant at 4KHz. Below, plot the poles of the frequency response of this vocal recording.



10. Consider a discrete space system defined by $ g[m,n] = h[m,n] ** f[m,n] $ with $ h[m] = (1/25) * \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 3 & 1 \\ 3 & 9 & 3\\ 1 & 3 & 1 \end{bmatrix} $ What is the response to the following input (assume 0-boundry condition):

$ \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ \end{bmatrix} $
