Question 1 |
The discrete time Fourier series representation of a signal x[n] with period N is
written as x[n]=\sum_{k=0}^{N-1}a_ke^{j(2kn\pi/N)} . A discrete time periodic signal with period N=3 , has the non-zero Fourier series coefficients: a_{-3}=2 and a_4=1 . The
signal is
2+2e^{-\left ( j\frac{2\pi}{6}n \right )} \cos \left ( \frac{2\pi}{6}n \right ) | |
1+2e^{\left ( j\frac{2\pi}{6}n \right )} \cos \left ( \frac{2\pi}{6}n \right ) | |
1+2e^{\left ( j\frac{2\pi}{3}n \right )} \cos \left ( \frac{2\pi}{6}n \right ) | |
2+2e^{\left ( j\frac{2\pi}{6}n \right )} \cos \left ( \frac{2\pi}{6}n \right ) |
Question 1 Explanation:
Given:
x(n)=\sum_{k=0}^{N-1}a_ke^{j\frac{2 \pi kn}{N}}
\therefore \; x(n)=a_0+a_1e^{\frac{j2\pi n}{3}}+0+... \;\;\;...(1)
We have,
a_k=a_{k+N}
a_0=a_3
a_1=a_4=1
a_{-3}=a_0=2
Put n = 0 in eq. (1)
x(0)=a_0+a_1=2+1=3
Put n = 1 in eq. (1)
x(1)=a_0+a_1e^{j 2 \pi /3}=2+1\left ( \cos \frac{2\pi}{3} +j \sin \frac{2\pi}{3}\right )=2+(-0.5+j0.866)=1.5+j0.866
These two conditions satisfy by the option (B). Hence, option (B) will be correct.

Question 2 |
A periodic function f(t), with a period of 2\pi, is represented as its Fourier series,
f(t)=a_0+\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }a_n\cos nt+\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }a_n\sin nt.
If
f(t)=\left\{\begin{matrix} A \sin t, & 0\leq t\leq \pi\\ 0,& \pi\lt t\lt 2\pi \end{matrix}\right.
the Fourier series coefficients a_1 \; and \; b_1 of f(t) are
f(t)=a_0+\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }a_n\cos nt+\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }a_n\sin nt.
If
f(t)=\left\{\begin{matrix} A \sin t, & 0\leq t\leq \pi\\ 0,& \pi\lt t\lt 2\pi \end{matrix}\right.
the Fourier series coefficients a_1 \; and \; b_1 of f(t) are

a_1 =\frac{A}{2} ; \; b_1=0 | |
a_1 =0 ; \; b_1=\frac{A}{\pi} | |
a_1 =0 ; \; b_1=\frac{A}{2} |
Question 2 Explanation:
\begin{aligned}
T_0 &=2\pi \Rightarrow \;\omega _0=\frac{2\pi}{T_0}=1 \\
\text{Now, }b_1 &=\frac{2}{T_0}\int_{0}^{T_0}f(t) \sin \omega _0 t \; dt \\
&= \frac{2}{2 \pi}\int_{0}^{2\pi}f(t) \sin t \; dt\;\;[\because \omega _0=1]\\
&= \frac{1}{\pi}\int_{0}^{\pi} A \sin t \cdot \sin t\; dt \\
&= \frac{A}{2 \pi}\int_{0}^{\pi}2 \sin ^2 t \; dt \\
&= \frac{A}{2 \pi}\int_{0}^{\pi}[1-\cos 2t] \; dt \\
&=\frac{A}{2 \pi} \left [ t-\frac{\sin 2t}{2} \right ]_0^{\pi} \\
&= \frac{A}{2 \pi} [(\pi-0)-(0-0)]=\frac{A}{2}\\
a_1&=\frac{2}{T_0}\int_{0}^{T_0}f(t) \cos \omega _0 t \; dt \\
&= \frac{2}{2 \pi}\int_{0}^{2\pi}f(t) \cos t \; dt \\
&= \frac{1}{\pi}\int_{0}^{\pi} A \sin t \cdot \cos t\; dt \\
&= \frac{A}{2 \pi}\int_{0}^{\pi} \sin 2t \; dt=0
\end{aligned}
Question 3 |
Let the signal x(t)=\sum_{k=-\infty }^{+\infty }(-1)^{k}\delta (t-\frac{k}{2000}) be passed through an LTI system with frequency response H(\omega) , as given in the figure below

The Fourier series representation of the output is given as

The Fourier series representation of the output is given as
4000+4000cos(2000\pi t) +4000cos(4000\pi t) | |
2000+2000cos(2000\pi t) +2000cos(4000\pi t) | |
4000cos(2000\pi t) | |
2000cos(2000\pi t) |
Question 3 Explanation:
\begin{aligned} x(t)&=\sum_{k=-\infty }^{\infty } (-1)^K \delta \left ( t-\frac{K}{2000} \right )\\ &= \sum_{k=-\infty }^{\infty } (-1)^K \delta (t-KT)\\ \text{where, } &=T=\frac{1}{2000} \end{aligned}

Time period:
\begin{aligned} T_0&=2T=\frac{1}{1000}\\ \omega _0&=\frac{2\pi}{T_0}=2000 \pi \; rad \end{aligned}
Since, x(t) is even-halt wave symmetric. So, its expansion will contain only odd harmonics of cos. Therefore, coefficient of fundamental harmonic is
\begin{aligned} a_1&=\frac{2}{T}\int_{-T_0/2}^{T_0/2}x(t) \cos \omega _0 t \; dt\\ &=\frac{4}{T_0}\int_{0}^{T_0/2}\delta (t) \cos \omega _0 t \; dt\\ &=\frac{4}{T_0}\int_{0}^{T_0/2}\delta (t) \cos 0 \; dt\\ &=\frac{4}{T_0}\left [\int_{0}^{T_0/2}\delta (t) \; dt \right ]\\ &=\frac{4}{T_0}=4000 \end{aligned}
Now, frequency components available in expansion are
\begin{aligned} \omega _0,3\omega _0,...\\ 2000\pi, 6000 \pi,... \end{aligned}
As, LTI system given in the question will pass upto 5000\pi rad/sec frequency component of input.So, output will have only one component of sfrequency 2000\pi rad/sec
Thus, y(t)= expansion of output =a_1 \cos \omega _0 t=4000 \cos 2000 \pi t

Time period:
\begin{aligned} T_0&=2T=\frac{1}{1000}\\ \omega _0&=\frac{2\pi}{T_0}=2000 \pi \; rad \end{aligned}
Since, x(t) is even-halt wave symmetric. So, its expansion will contain only odd harmonics of cos. Therefore, coefficient of fundamental harmonic is
\begin{aligned} a_1&=\frac{2}{T}\int_{-T_0/2}^{T_0/2}x(t) \cos \omega _0 t \; dt\\ &=\frac{4}{T_0}\int_{0}^{T_0/2}\delta (t) \cos \omega _0 t \; dt\\ &=\frac{4}{T_0}\int_{0}^{T_0/2}\delta (t) \cos 0 \; dt\\ &=\frac{4}{T_0}\left [\int_{0}^{T_0/2}\delta (t) \; dt \right ]\\ &=\frac{4}{T_0}=4000 \end{aligned}
Now, frequency components available in expansion are
\begin{aligned} \omega _0,3\omega _0,...\\ 2000\pi, 6000 \pi,... \end{aligned}
As, LTI system given in the question will pass upto 5000\pi rad/sec frequency component of input.So, output will have only one component of sfrequency 2000\pi rad/sec
Thus, y(t)= expansion of output =a_1 \cos \omega _0 t=4000 \cos 2000 \pi t
