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 close-form expression for resulting reconstructed spectrum $ X_{r}(\omega) $.
(ii)
