Figure1

A circuit board that has a digital clock circuit producea rectangularpulsetrain as shown in Figure1.
The clock signalis connectedto a circuit on another circuit board using a twisted pair of wires. The
pair of wires can be modeled as an RCcircuit. Assumingthe first and the secondcircuit boardshave
infinite output and input impedancesrespectively,perform an analysisto recommendan acceptable
value of cableRCtime constant.

a) Draw

effiffiicating inputasx(t)andoutputasy(t).

b) Findthe FourierTransformof input signalx(t) and plot the frequencyspectrum.

c) Findthe output, y(t) of the pair of wires. Describethe method usedin details.

d) Sketchthe output signaly(t) and the frequencyspectrum for the following RCtime constant
i) 0.01s
ii) 0.1 s
iii) 1 s

e) Fromd), what is the acceptableRCtime constant?Justifyyour answer.
