Problems

Question 1. Suppose that a discrete-time signal x[n] is given by the formula

x[n] = 4cos(0.6n + 5/7)
If the sampling rate of the C-D converter is fs = 90 samples/second, many different continuoustime signals could have been inputs to the above system. Determine two such inputs with frequency between 360 and 450 Hz; i.e. find x1 (t) = A1 cos(w1 t+1 ) and x2 (t) = A2 cos(w2 t+2 )
such that x[n] = x1 (nTs ) = x2 (nTs ) if Ts = 1/90 seconds.
Question 2. Suppose the sinusoid x(t) = cos(0.3t + /4) is input to a continuous-todiscrete converter with sampling frequency fs .
a. Find an fs that would result in x[n] = cos(0.5n + /4).
b. Find an fs that would result in x[n] = cos(0.25n + /4).
Question 3. Consider the system shown in figure 1.
Input to the ideal C/D converter is
x(t) = 2cos(44t) + 4cos(32t + 3/4)
a. Sketch the spectrum of x(t), the input to the CD converter, where fs1 = 20 samples
per second.

b. Sketch the spectrum of x[n], the output of the CD converter.
c. If the sampling rate of the ideal DC converter is fs2 = 100 samples per second, sketch
the spectrum of the output signal y(t).
Question 4. Suppose we recorded a 3 seconds of piano note with a fundamental of 440 Hz
using a sample rate of 8 kHz.
a. Suppose we play back our piano recording at three times the record speed, i.e., we
play it back using a playback rate of 24 kHz. What will be the fundamental frequency of
the played back sound? How long will the sound last?
b. Now suppose we want to play back our piano recording at such a rate that it sounds
like it has a fundamental of 311 Hz. What playback sample rate should we use? How long
will the resulting sound last at that playback rate?
