1. Given a continuous-time signal xa(t) with Xa(F) = 0 for |F|>B determine the minimum
sampling rate Fs for a signal ya(t) defined by
(a) xa(2t)
(b) xa(t)cos(7πBt)

2. The sampled sequence xa(nT) is reconstructed using an ideal D/A with interpolation
function ga(t) where Ga(F) = A for |F|< Fc and zero otherwise to produce a continuous-
time signal 𝑥̂𝑎 (𝑡).
(a) If the spectrum of the original signal xa(t) satisfies Xa(F) = 0 for |F|>B, find the
maximum value of T, and the values of Fc, and A such that 𝑥̂𝑎 (𝑡) = 𝑥𝑎 (𝑡). If xa(t) is going
to be sampled at Fs = 3B/2, draw the spectrum of the sampled signal. What should the
spectrum of the filter used to minimize the aliasing be and where should it be located?
(b) If X1(F) = 0 for |F|>B, X2(F) = 0 for |F|>2B, and xa(t) = x1(t) x2(t), find the maximum
value of T, and the values of Fc, and A such that 𝑥̂𝑎 (𝑡) = 𝑥𝑎 (𝑡).

3. Consider the sampling of the bandpass signal whose spectrum is illustrated in the
following figure. Determine the minimum sampling rate Fs to avoid aliasing.
4. An Analog Signal xa(t) is bandlimited to the range 900 ≤ F ≤ 1100 Hz. It is used as an
input to the system as shown in the following figure. In this system, H(ω) is an ideal
lowpass filter with cutoff frequency Fc = 125 Hz.

(a) Determine and sketch the spectra for the signals x(n), w(n), v(n), and y(n).
(b) Show that it is possible to obtain y(n) by sampling xa(t) with period T = 4
milliseconds.

5. Plot the signals and their corresponding spectra for rational sampling rate conversion by
(a) I/D = 5/3 and (b) I/D = 3/5. Assume that the spectrum of the input signal x(n)
occupies the entire range −𝜋 ≤ 𝜔𝑥 ≤ 𝜋.
