x_{2}(t)=\left\{\begin{matrix} 1-|t|, & -1\leq t \leq 1\\ 0, & otherwise \end{matrix}\right.

Question 1 Explanation:
x_1(t)=\left\{\begin{matrix} |t|, & -1 \leq t \leq 1\\ 0, & \text{ otherwise} \end{matrix}\right.

T_s= sampling time-period = 0.25 sec
x_1(n)=\{ 1,0.75,0.5,0.25,0,0.25,0.5,0.75,1\}

x_2(t)=\left\{\begin{matrix} 1-|t|, & -1 \leq t \leq 1\\ 0, & \text{ otherwise} \end{matrix}\right.

x_2(n)=\{ 0,0.25,0.5,0.75,1,0.75,0.5,0.25,0\}

Since, x_1(n) is having one more non-zero sample of amplitude '1' as compared to x_2(n). Therefore, energy of x_1(n) greater than energy of x_2(n).

T_s= sampling time-period = 0.25 sec
x_1(n)=\{ 1,0.75,0.5,0.25,0,0.25,0.5,0.75,1\}

x_2(t)=\left\{\begin{matrix} 1-|t|, & -1 \leq t \leq 1\\ 0, & \text{ otherwise} \end{matrix}\right.

x_2(n)=\{ 0,0.25,0.5,0.75,1,0.75,0.5,0.25,0\}

Since, x_1(n) is having one more non-zero sample of amplitude '1' as compared to x_2(n). Therefore, energy of x_1(n) greater than energy of x_2(n).
Question 2 |
The output y(t) of the following system is to be sampled, so as to reconstruct it from its samples
uniquely. The required minimum sampling rate is


1000 samples/s | |
1500 samples/s | |
2000 samples/s | |
3000 samples/s |
Question 2 Explanation:

From the above block diagram,
Z(t)=x(t) \cos 1000 \pi t
By using modulation property of fourier transform,
Z(\omega )=\frac{1}{2}[X(\omega + 1000 \pi t)+X(\omega - 1000 \pi t)]

Now, h(t)=\frac{\sin 1500 \pi t}{\pi t}=1500 Sa(1500 \pi t)

Thus, H(\omega ) is a low pass filter and it will pass frequency, component of Z(\omega ) upto 1500 \pi rad/sec.

Therefore, maximum frequency component of y(t) is
\omega _m =1500 \pi rad/sec or f_m =750 Hz
So, the minimum sampling rate for y(t) is
f_{s\; min}=2f_m=1500Hz=1500 samples/sec

For the system shown above, the minimum sampling rate required to sample y(t), so that y(t) can be uniquely reconstructed from its samples, is

Question 3 Explanation:
Given that,
Bandwidth of X_1(\omega )=B_1
Bandwidth of X_2(\omega )=B_2
system has h(t)=e^{-2|t|} and input to the system is x_1(t) \cdot x_2(t)
The bandwidth of x_1(t) \cdot x_2(t) is B_1+B_2.
The bandwidth of output will be B_1+B_2.
So, sampling rate will be 2(B_1+B_2).
Bandwidth of X_1(\omega )=B_1
Bandwidth of X_2(\omega )=B_2
system has h(t)=e^{-2|t|} and input to the system is x_1(t) \cdot x_2(t)
The bandwidth of x_1(t) \cdot x_2(t) is B_1+B_2.
The bandwidth of output will be B_1+B_2.
So, sampling rate will be 2(B_1+B_2).
