Question 2: Signal Processing

August 2017




Problem 1. [50 pts]
Equation 1 below is the formula for reconstructing the DTFT, $ X(\omega) $, from $ N $ equi-spaced samples of the DTFT over $ 0 \leq \omega \leq 2\pi $. $ X_{N}(k) = X(\frac{2\pi k}{N},k=0,1,...,N-1) $ is the N-pt DFT of x[n], which corresponds to N equi-spaced samples of the DTFT of x[n] over $ 0 \leq \omega \leq 2\pi $.

$ X_{r}(\omega)=\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} X_{N}(k) \frac{sin[\frac{N}{2}(\omega - \frac{2 \pi k}{N})]}{N sin[\frac{1}{2} (\omega -\frac{2 \pi k}{N})]} e^{-j\frac{N-1}{2}(\omega - \frac{2 \pi k}{N}) } $(1)

(a) Let x[n] be a discrete-time rectangular pulse of length $ L=12 $ as defined below:

$ x[n] = \{-1,-1,-1,-1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1 \} $

(i) $ X_{N}(k) $ is computed as a 16-point DFT of x[n] and used in Eqn (1) with N=16. Write a closed-form expression for resulting reconstructed spectrum $ X_{r}(\omega) $.
(ii) $ X_{N}(k) $ is computed as a 12-point DFT of x[n] and used in Eqn (1) with N=12. Write a closed-form expression for the resulting reconstructed spectrum $ X_{r}(\omega) $.
(iii) $ X_{N}(k) $ is computed as an 8-point DFT of x[n] ans used in Eqn (1) with N=8. That is, $ X_{N}(k) $ is obtained by sampling the DTFT of x[n] at 8 equi-spaced frequencies between 0 and 2$ \pi $. Write a closed-form expression for the resulting reconstructed spectrum $ X_{r}(\omega) $.

(b) Let x[n] be a discrete-time sinewave of length L=12 as defined below. For all sub-parts of part (b), $ X_{N}(k) $ is computed as a 12-pt DFT of x[n] and used in Eqn (1) with N=12.

$ x[n]=cos(\frac{\pi}{3} n) \{u[n]-u[n-12]\} $

(i) Write a closed-form expression for the resulting reconstructed spectrum $ X_{r}(\omega) $.
(ii) What is the numerical value of $ X_{r}(\frac{\pi}{3}) $? The answer is a number and you do not need a calculator to determine the value; this also applies to the next 2 parts.
(iii) What is the numerical value of $ X_{r}(\frac{5 \pi}{3}) $?
(iv) What is the numerical value of $ X_{r}(\frac{\pi}{2}) $?


Problem 2. [50 pts]
Consider a finite-length sinewave of the form below where $ k_{o} $ is an interger in the range $ 0 \leq k_{o} \leq N-1 $.

$ x[n] = e^{j 2 \pi \frac{k_{o}}{N} n} \{ u[n] - u[n-N] \} $ (2)

In addition, h[n] is a causal FIR filter of length L, where L < N. In this problem $ y[n]=x[n] \star h[n] $ is the linear convolution of the causal sinewave of length N in Equation (1) with a causal FIR filter of length L, where L < N.

$ y[n]=x[n] \star h[n] $

(a) The region $ 0 \leq n \leq L-1 $ corresponds to partial overlap. The covolution sum can be written as:

$ y[n]=\sum_{k=??}^{??} h[k] x[n-k] \ \ partial \ \ overlap:\ 0 \leq n \leq L-1 $ (3)

Determine the upper and lower limits in the convolution sum above for $ 0 \leq n \leq L-1 $
(b) The region $ L \leq n \leq N-1 $ corresponds to full overlap. The convolution sum is:

$ y[n]=\sum_{k=??}^{??} h[k]x[n-k] \ \ full \ \ overlap: \ L \leq n \leq N-1 $ (4)

(i) Determine the upper and lower limits in the convolution sum for $ L \leq n \leq N-1 $.
(ii) Substituting x[n] in Eqn (1), show that for this range y[n] simplifies to:

$ y[n]=H_{N}(k_{o}) e^{j 2 \pi \frac{k_{o}}{N} n} \ \ for L \leq n \leq N-1 $(5)

where $ H_{N}(k) $ is the N-point DFT of h[n] evaluated at $ k = k_{o} $. To get the points, you must show all work and explain all details.
(c) The region $ N \leq n \leq N+L-2 $ corresponds to partial overlap. The convolution sum:

$ y[n] = \sum_{k=??}^{??} h[k]x[n-k] \ \ partial \ \ overlap: \ N \leq n \leq N+L-2 $(6)

Determine the upper and lower limits in the convolution sum for $ N \leq n \leq N+L-2 $.
(d) Add the two regions of partial overlap at the beginning and end to form:

$ z[n] =y[n]+y[n+N]=\sum_{k=??}^{??}h[n]x[n-k] \ \ for: \ 0 \leq n \leq L-1 $(7)

(i) Determine the upper and lower limits in the convolution sum above.
(ii) Substituting x[n] in Eqn (1), show that for this range z[n] simplifies to:

$ z[n] = y[n]+y[n+N]=H_{N}(k_{o})e^{j2 \pi \frac{k_{o}}{N} n} \ \ for \ 0 \leq n \leq L-1 $ (8)

where $ H_{N}(k) $ is the N-point DFT of h[n] evaluated at $ k = k_{o} $ as defined previously.
(e) $ y_{N}[n] $ is formed by computing $ X_{N}(k) $ as an N-pt DFT of x[n] in Enq (2), $ H_{N}(k) $ as an N-pt DFT of h[n], and then $ y_{N}[n] $ as the N-pt inverse DFT of $ Y_{N}(k) = X_{N}(K)H_{N}(k) $. Write a simple, closed-form expression for $ y_{N}(k) $. Is $ z[n]=y_{N}[n] + y[n+N] \ \ for \ 0 \leq n \leq N-1 $?
